00:01:30,239 --> 00:01:32,840
wild stuff goes on in that YouTube jetting me a

22
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,000
fun place, it can be a very scary place if

00:01:37,359 --> 00:01:40,799

but throw out anything you want to ask Chef Johnson.

30
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,400
We'll maybe do a little Olympic update at nine thirty.

31
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,200
Norway dominating this thing right now. Fortune only US is

32
00:02:01,239 --> 00:02:04,439
in third though, so they're they're hanging in there for

33
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,280
the most part right now.

34
00:02:07,359 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 4: Though.

35
00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:12,439
Speaker 5: Look it's nine am, it's Thursday, and Uhlandra's got a

36
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:14,439
one that she said we're gonna be surprised by, so

37
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:15,520
she's gonna go first on this.

38
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 4: It's time for a big deal or no big.

39
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:21,199
Speaker 5: Deal, big deal, no big deal, big deal, no big deal,

40
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:29,000
big deal, no big deal, no big deal, a big deal?

41
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:30,759
Speaker 4: What you got?

42
00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:33,719
Speaker 6: Okay? So big deal or no big deal?

43
00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: Selling pizza with iguana meat as a topping.

44
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:41,719
Speaker 4: Huge deal?

45
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: Who the hell is doing that in Florida? Surprise surprise.

46
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:51,120
So it's called Bucks Coal Fire Pizza. It's in North

47
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:54,120
Palm Beach and they went viral recently because they are

48
00:02:54,439 --> 00:02:59,719
selling pizza they're selling iguana pizza, like not just hey,

49
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:03,319
you get a pepperoni pizza? Can I get any iguana pizza?

50
00:03:03,719 --> 00:03:07,240
And it's because of the cold weather. During the cold

51
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,360
there's like a bunch of iguanas that just like fall

52
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,840
out of trees and stuff like that because the cold

53
00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:13,319
paralyzes them.

54
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 6: So they're an invasive species.

55
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,879
Speaker 2: So they've been like gathering up all the iguanas and

56
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,400
using them as pizza toppings. Even bigger dealer, no big deal.

57
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,680
They're not the first to do this. So there's a

58
00:03:29,759 --> 00:03:30,840
guy also in.

59
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 6: Florida due to the.

60
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: Uh, due to the falling out of the trees iguanas.

61
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:37,879
Speaker 6: Uh.

62
00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:40,599
Speaker 2: There's a guy that made iguana meat tacos and he

63
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,199
went viral for that as well.

64
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 4: So I mean.

65
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,639
Speaker 5: I've heard of like duk tacos and all that, So

66
00:03:48,759 --> 00:03:49,639
like I get that, but.

67
00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 6: I mean that feels pretty normal. I don't know if

68
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:53,960
I could get behind that.

69
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,639
Speaker 4: This is a huge deal. I'm looking it up right now.

70
00:03:57,159 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: Since they're invasive, they can be captured and killed humanely

71
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,599
without a permit in because they're invasive and they're just

72
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:04,560
like falling out of trees.

73
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 6: But the ones that are falling out of trees aren't dead.

74
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:08,879
They're still alive.

75
00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: They're just paralyzed because they're cold blooded, and so.

76
00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:12,919
Speaker 7: They're like.

77
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: So Also, apparently, according to this guy, they do have

78
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,120
the nickname Chicken of the Trees because they're delicious. So

79
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,199
so rather than let them go to waste, they're gonna

80
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:27,120
make them into tacos.

81
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 5: I'm assuming these have to be big iguanas, right, like.

82
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:31,439
Speaker 6: Like actual real iguana, right.

83
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 5: Because like me, you got the little small ones, but

84
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,399
he would take like so many to get any meat

85
00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:36,759
out of that. I'm assuming these are the These are

86
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:37,680
the big iguanas.

87
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: Okay, let me put this in the dock so Cassie

88
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,600
can pull it up. There's a picture of the man

89
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:50,800
outside of the pizza shop and he's holding a bunch

90
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,560
of iguanas.

91
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,199
Speaker 6: So if you look in the article you'll find it.

92
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 4: So it says here.

93
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 5: Many who have tried iguana meat say it's a nick

94
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,399
picture of chicken and fish. That doesn't sound bad flavor wise, However,

95
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,079
think about that texture for a second. Fish is a

96
00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:10,319
heck of a lot softer than chicken. This just seems

97
00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:12,959
like it would be like pasty chicken. I know, I

98
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,720
don't know if I could deal with that texture. I

99
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,399
mean it does say it's a it's a pretty mild flavor.

100
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 6: Look at this picture.

101
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,959
Speaker 2: Look at this he's holding them outside of the pizza shop.

102
00:05:24,079 --> 00:05:27,759
Speaker 4: That's a twenty five pound iguana. That iguana's twenty five pounds.

103
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,959
Speaker 2: Also literally holding them outside of the pizza shop.

104
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 4: That guy. Could you imagine driving down the road and

105
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,639
see it that, I'd be like, durgn, they got a

106
00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:36,720
fresh patch of water.

107
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 5: We gotta go get that guy looks like the type

108
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,079
they would chop up in iguana and serve them on pizza.

109
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,480
I mean that that guy seemed like the type to

110
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,560
do that. And the fact that they're not the first

111
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,920
ones to do it, and it was so popular originally

112
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,879
that they followed this trend.

113
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:54,759
Speaker 4: That's awful.

114
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,439
Speaker 2: So he says, my buddy hit me up and was like,

115
00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:01,600
just imagine this guy. My buddy hit me up and

116
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,360
was like, how do you feel about me bringing in

117
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:05,399
some iguana meat and making iguana pizza?

118
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,399
Speaker 6: I said absolutely, I.

119
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 5: Mean yeah, I mean obviously, right, Okay, does it say

120
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,879
like how many they have sold?

121
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 4: Like are these populars and just something they're so it.

122
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 2: Did say that it's highly sought after apparently, and that

123
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,759
they've gotten many calls about questions about trying to order

124
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,399
some iguana pizza, so apparently it is highly sought after.

125
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 6: I don't know exactly.

126
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 2: How many people actually ordered it. It doesn't say in

127
00:06:37,879 --> 00:06:39,879
this article maybe you can try to find it, but

128
00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:42,279
in this one it doesn't say. It's just wild to

129
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:44,279
me that this guy was like, yeah, let's do it,

130
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,600
let's put iguanas on the pizza.

131
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 6: I don't think I can. Like iguanas are kind of cute.

132
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 5: I think the creepy lizards are creepy, like all those

133
00:06:56,519 --> 00:07:00,439
like they're basically crawling snakes, like they create me out

134
00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:03,759
a little bit. Okay, well, look I found a different one.

135
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,439
Speaker 6: There's a snake outside my house this morning.

136
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 4: You stump it into the ground.

137
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: I kind of wanted to pick it up because it

138
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,879
was little and Rob, you know Rob, the one.

139
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,759
Speaker 6: That I'm like obsessed with right now from the Traders.

140
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,759
Oh yeah, ye, snake catcher.

141
00:07:17,399 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: So maybe if I would have caught in sent him

142
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:24,800
a picture, he would have been like, oh.

143
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 4: I'm ready. I like that.

144
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,399
Speaker 5: I was going to have this boring Generic Chiefs cleared

145
00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:31,519
up forty three million dollars in cap space no screw

146
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,000
that Luandra has inspired me. Hawaii residents have been so

147
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,120
sick of early crowing that they could actually be allowed

148
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,240
to kill wild chickens in their area. So apparently this

149
00:07:43,279 --> 00:07:46,079
has been an issue for years in Hawaii. They they

150
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,879
spent millions of dollars, like the government, they spent millions

151
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,920
of dollars capturing wild chickens who have been accused of

152
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,199
aggressive pecking.

153
00:07:54,079 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 4: And they they crow really loud and apparently as early

154
00:07:57,199 --> 00:07:58,079
as three am.

155
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 5: So, uh, Hawaii may actually be allowed again, like no

156
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,560
permits or whatever. But you could shoot away these wild

157
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,319
chickens in the middle of his day and it would

158
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,160
not be illegal. So, uh, big deal or no big

159
00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:16,399
deal killing chickens because they crow too early.

160
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 6: If you're gonna eat them, I don't think it's that

161
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:18,600
big of a deal.

162
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like, yeah, if you're gonna eat them,

163
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,480
I don't think it's that big of a deal. Also,

164
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,959
I don't like to be woken up before I'm supposed

165
00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:25,560
to wake up.

166
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's apparently so. So they're invasive a lot like

167
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,919
the iguanas it says, Uh it's a big deal. They're

168
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,559
multiplying rapidly, and uh, it's Uh, it's killing some like

169
00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:41,960
chickens that they're own because these are feral chickens. So yeah,

170
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,720
not a big deal because I'm good with it. But also, like,

171
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,919
why do we have so many invasive creatures right now?

172
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, like nutria, aren't they invasive?

173
00:08:51,519 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 5: So nutrient in New Orleans, yeah, actually has a big problem. Yeah,

174
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,279
I mean I remember I was watching a cop show

175
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,440
in New Orleans. I don't remember which one of it was,

176
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,200
just that particular episode was in New Orleans and they

177
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,919
actually sent like one of the sheriff's departments out there

178
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,240
to like shoot some nutrient near one of the levees

179
00:09:08,279 --> 00:09:10,879
because because they're so invasive and like that's that's a

180
00:09:10,919 --> 00:09:13,360
thing that the police department had to go do at

181
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:13,840
one time.

182
00:09:13,919 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, real quick, I'm sorry, I'm I need to

183
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,159
go back to this guy that made the iguana tacos, okay,

184
00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:22,399
because I'm reading a little bit more about it and

185
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,240
I'm watching kind of the video that he made about

186
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,039
the iguana tacos, and this guy might be a bigger

187
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,080
deal than the pizza thing, because I feel like he

188
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,559
grabbed this iguana out of the tree, so.

189
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 5: This one was not falling at it he's just he's

190
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,759
just capturing live at killing.

191
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,919
Speaker 2: Them bound this iguana and then he put like a

192
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,919
bunch of iguana eggs.

193
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 6: In the meal with the iguana.

194
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 4: That seems like you would be it's like unorthodoxic. It

195
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,519
seems like a be questionable, like non koshit.

196
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that that doesn't seem like it's his.

197
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,039
Speaker 2: The comments were like, sorry, you lost me at blending

198
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,600
twenty iguana eggs in a blinder to dip their mother's

199
00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:02,279
body into.

200
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:06,039
Speaker 6: And they said, twenty one souls in one meal is

201
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,960
crazy Jesus.

202
00:10:08,799 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a little bit different than pizza.

203
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:13,759
Speaker 6: I can't do it.

204
00:10:13,759 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 5: You have to look up a pic of this iguana pizza.

205
00:10:15,759 --> 00:10:18,159
I gotta tell you that, the more I think about it,

206
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,639
the more I'm kind of into it. I mean, I

207
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,159
don't I don't want to try it, but I'm also

208
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,759
an overly curious person.

209
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,039
Speaker 4: Is this it? Is this?

210
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 3: It?

211
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: Yeah?

212
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 4: I'm eating this. I'm eating this.

213
00:10:29,639 --> 00:10:31,919
Speaker 5: It looks like a sausage pizza, Like were eating this?

214
00:10:32,639 --> 00:10:34,799
No question, Like, I'll at least do you sell it

215
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,480
by the slice? I'm going I'm getting a slice. No,

216
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,759
I mean, how much could the iguana pizza beat Now,

217
00:10:39,759 --> 00:10:43,480
if they're charging a premium because it's wild game, then

218
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:46,519
I'm out. I'm not paying premium for an iguana pizza.

219
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,039
But look, if it's three or four bucks of slice,

220
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,039
I'll go and I'll try a slice. No big deal,

221
00:10:51,039 --> 00:10:54,519
we'll try some iguana. Cassie, good luck following those.

222
00:10:54,639 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 6: But I don't follow that, Okay, Well, wow, I'm sorry.

223
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,000
That's very disappointing. I know, I'm sorry.

224
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,039
Speaker 5: I'll throw out one more a lot tamer than the

225
00:11:08,159 --> 00:11:12,799
iguana pizzas and the killing of wild chickens. The Kansas

226
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,200
City Chiefs have restructured Patrick Mahomes's deal for the third time,

227
00:11:17,919 --> 00:11:20,440
well for the third time in three seasons. They have

228
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,360
cleared up forty four million dollars in cap space. I

229
00:11:25,399 --> 00:11:28,559
think this is kind of a big deal because entering

230
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,919
the offseason they were fifty seven million dollars over the

231
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,679
cap and still needed to make some financial moves. But

232
00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:38,759
they have reworked his deal, and again, he was initially

233
00:11:38,799 --> 00:11:41,480
set to count for seventy eight point two million dollars

234
00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:44,320
against the cap. It you dropped to around fifty seven.

235
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,440
So yeah, they've cleared up forty four million dollars worth

236
00:11:47,519 --> 00:11:49,639
of cap space. For a team that's got a lot

237
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,919
of aging stars, you need a lot of weapons. I

238
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,600
talked about Travis Etn a little bit earlier. Right now,

239
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,000
the Kansas City Chiefs are the favorite to land him.

240
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 4: I think this is.

241
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,919
Speaker 5: A big deal because once Patrick Mahomes is back late

242
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,080
in the season and he's ready to go, if you

243
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,440
can keep your head above water, if you're the Chiefs

244
00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:10,360
make some big time signings due to all this cap space,

245
00:12:10,519 --> 00:12:13,279
and Patrick Mahomes is back fully healthy, ready to go,

246
00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:15,480
and you're there in playoff contention.

247
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 2: Now.

248
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 5: I don't think they'll be in playoff contention without Patrick Mahomes,

249
00:12:19,159 --> 00:12:21,279
but if they are, I mean, look out, there's a

250
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,480
chance you could add multiple weapons or the Kansas City Chiefs.

251
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,759
Speaker 4: I do think that is a pretty big deal.

252
00:12:26,799 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 5: Does anybody have any other off the wall, sporty sports,

253
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:32,600
ad Jason or any otherwise big deal or no big deals?

254
00:12:32,759 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 3: Yeah?

255
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,039
Speaker 5: All right, Well, I think that's a good way to

256
00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:37,399
end it, because you're not gonna top Iguana Pizza and

257
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,200
Taco's of course in the state of Florida.

258
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,919
Speaker 4: All right, we will take a quick time out.

259
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,799
Speaker 5: On the other side, we may not be talking to

260
00:12:44,799 --> 00:12:48,080
Iguana Pizza but we do have munchies coming up with

261

Speaker 4: How are you doing well?

00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,519
Speaker 5: Okay, look, Marty grawl just happened. You've been kingk guy.

318
00:15:41,559 --> 00:15:43,440
I mean, what's the what's the go to King cake order?

319
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 9: You know? So, I'm because for for dietary purposes, we

320
00:15:48,879 --> 00:15:51,919
buy a lot of sourdough bread, and so this past

321
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,039
year we actually bought some sourdough King Cake King Cake

322
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,279
from a place here in Baton Rouge, Saint Bruno Breads,

323
00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:01,120
And I'm a big fan of it. You know, it's

324
00:16:01,159 --> 00:16:04,399
it's it's something new and interesting, and I just I

325
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,480
have developed a love and a passion for sour dough bread.

326
00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:11,759
It's easier digestible, and you know, like people who even

327
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,559
some siliacs, people who have minor siliacs are able to

328
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,799
eat sourdough because it's because the way the bread is

329
00:16:21,519 --> 00:16:25,159
fermented or the way that it's risen, because it's it's

330
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,360
not with it's not done in the same practices as

331
00:16:28,559 --> 00:16:32,159
quick rising and geese. It's I don't know, I love

332
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,960
sourdough bread and sardo kincake is not going to be

333
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,039
the exception to that rule.

334
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 5: So chef last segment, we were talking about a pizza

335
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,759
place in Florida that, due to iguanas being like super

336
00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:49,320
invasive in the state of Florida, they're actually capturing them

337
00:16:49,559 --> 00:16:51,440
and using iguana pizza.

338
00:16:51,879 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 4: Have you ever eaten iguana?

339
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,039
Speaker 9: I have not. I know a couple of people that

340
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,519
hunt iguana's there. And I'm gonna tell you right now,

341
00:16:58,679 --> 00:17:01,399
you know, like you put me in front of an iguana,

342
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,080
you know, like I'm down to go and I'm down

343
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,920
to eat, you know, like I'll put it on a pizza,

344
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,119
I'll put it on. I think deep fried iguana po

345
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,000
boys sounds good, you know, like to me, it kind

346
00:17:11,039 --> 00:17:15,119
of in my mind it's it's like alligator or chicken,

347
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,359
you know, something somewhere into between there. And I would

348
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,319
be deeply surprised if it was, you know, different than that.

349
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,880
But I'm I'm down to try it, so you're you're

350
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:25,279
right on.

351
00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:28,279
Speaker 5: I googled, like what what is the consistency, like what

352
00:17:28,279 --> 00:17:30,039
does it taste like? And most people say a mixture

353
00:17:30,039 --> 00:17:30,799
of chicken and fish.

354
00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 4: I mean gator. You're you're right there with it. Okay.

355
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 5: That kind of leads to the next one. What is

356
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,400
the most exotic animal you've ever eaten?

357
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 9: Gosh, it's weird. I don't know, man, I've eaten some

358
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,079
weird stuff, man, you know, like uh, you know, like

359
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:50,200
I've eaten balute eggs before, which are underdeveloped, duck embryos,

360
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,359
I've eaten, you know, like some weird snails I've eaten.

361
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,440
I've eaten python before, you know, like it was baked

362
00:17:59,759 --> 00:18:02,480
by it's on and rattlesnak I've eaten before. I mean,

363
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,680
to be honest with you, I had I had a

364
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,480
neighbor that killed a snake in his garden and he

365
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,559
cooked it up and we tried eating it together. And

366
00:18:09,559 --> 00:18:15,000
I don't know what that was. I don't know if

367
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:19,000
that's exotic or just weird weird, but yeah, I'm you know, like,

368
00:18:19,079 --> 00:18:21,119
I'm a pretty open minded person when it comes to

369
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,240
trying food, and you know, it's uh it, It'd be

370
00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:27,519
hard pressed for me not to try. Like, I love

371
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,079
ethnic foods and going into street market and stuff and

372
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:31,200
trying new things.

373
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 5: So we uh, I live out in Walker Chef and

374
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,559
out and done them. A few years back, they had

375
00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:39,799
an exotic game cookoff and you can get tickets for it,

376
00:18:39,839 --> 00:18:41,480
and I don't remember how, one way or the other,

377
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,319
I got a ticket to it and my dad went

378
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,839
I had a black Bear chili that stood to me

379
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,480
because it was phenomenal. It was it was one of

380
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:50,519
the best things I had actually ever had. That that

381
00:18:50,559 --> 00:18:53,240
was probably the most exotic I had. I mean, everything

382
00:18:53,279 --> 00:18:55,279
else was you know elk all that. I mean, it

383
00:18:55,319 --> 00:18:59,079
wasn't super exotic, but the black Bear chili was actually

384
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:04,000
really really good. Chef This one right here hashtag Munchie's

385
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,599
best bread to use when making a French toast.

386
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 9: You know, I like something nice and firm man. And

387
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,119
if if you're if you're just using like normal bread loaf,

388
00:19:16,279 --> 00:19:18,720
I'm gonna go with the Briosiha has the egg and

389
00:19:18,759 --> 00:19:21,160
it has you know, it's eggy, and it's firm, and

390
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,640
it tolerates the stress of getting wet and then you know,

391
00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:28,079
moved around and flopped around. And I think you know,

392
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,079
any an even state people think this is crazy, but

393
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,720
stale bread actually works quite well because once you soak it,

394
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,480
it kind of softens it up a bit. I've made

395
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:41,960
French toast with French loaves before. I don't know. I

396
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,720
think it's part of it is kind of a personal decision,

397
00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:47,759
you know. But if it's if you're looking for traditional

398
00:19:47,839 --> 00:19:50,960
French toast, something that everybody can recognize when they look

399
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,559
at it, it's probably gonna be a like a thick coat,

400
00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:59,319
a thick cut Texas toasts, you know, like thickness brioche loaf.

401
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 4: Hashtag munchies.

402
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,400

405
00:20:11,799 --> 00:20:13,480
you ask me, you know, like one of my favorite

406
00:20:13,559 --> 00:20:16,960
eggs things that edible is hollandaise sauce, and it's so

407
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,000
unhealthy for you, right, uh, But I don't know, you know,

408
00:20:21,039 --> 00:20:24,000
like I'm I'm pretty I'm pretty open at like hard

409
00:20:24,039 --> 00:20:27,119

418
00:20:50,799 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 9: Quite a few, man, you know, like I cooked for

419
00:20:52,839 --> 00:20:56,559
Paul Allen. I've cooked for the Bushes, you know, both

420
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:03,519
both presidents. I cooked for hmmm, like the Apprince of

421
00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:07,759
Saudi Arabia during the Olympics. You know, I think at

422
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:10,240
the Olympics was you know, like we had we had

423
00:21:10,279 --> 00:21:12,519
dignitaries from all over the world there, we had a

424
00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:15,200
we had a suite at that building that we were

425
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,680
cooking in BC place, and like four thousand dignitaries from

426
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,440
all over the world, and you know, we did like

427
00:21:21,559 --> 00:21:27,480
pickled pork belly and uh and compressed melon. You so

428
00:21:27,599 --> 00:21:30,279
you take watermelon and you put we put miran in

429
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,319
the bag and then vacuum filled it and it it

430
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,960
compressed the miran into the watermelon and it turned kind

431
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,279
of translucent and it you know, it was just beautiful

432
00:21:39,319 --> 00:21:45,519
and the pickled pork belly was incredible. We did. I

433
00:21:46,039 --> 00:21:50,440
remember that during opening ceremonies, we had an athlete's family

434
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,680
came in late and they had a couple of young

435
00:21:52,759 --> 00:21:56,160
kids with them, and I did this uh braised pork

436
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,359
dish with greens. And we were in Vancouver, right and

437
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,599
this isn't tooy ten and the father, you know, like

438
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,720
he we had actually closed the kitchen and they were

439
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,880
telling him, no, the food's done, because I mean, we

440
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,839
were feeding thousands and thousands of people and they were

441
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,400
asking for special circumstances. And they came back and I

442
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,720
was like, yeah, I'll do it, and so I made him.

443
00:22:15,839 --> 00:22:19,240
I made embrace pork with greens. And the father came

444
00:22:19,279 --> 00:22:21,680
back and said, I don't know what you just cooked

445
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,319
for my kids, but they ate every last drop of it.

446
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,279
And my kids are the pickiest eaties eaters everywhere so

447
00:22:28,759 --> 00:22:31,599
it you know, like it was at a very important deal,

448
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,079
but it was for some children that you know, like

449
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,359
it weren't the most important in the world, but they

450
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,039
were the most important people in my world in that moment.

451
00:22:39,519 --> 00:22:42,440
And the father took it upon himself to come back

452
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,440
and say thank you. And I think those were some

453
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,880
of the most important meals, you know, like it it's

454
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,880
not it's not who puts on the pants, but you know,

455
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,240
it's the fact that they put pants on the same way.

456
00:22:54,279 --> 00:22:57,559
And everybody deserves the same opportunity to eat food, you know.

457
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,839
And so I don't know.

458
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 5: This one hears from me because I, uh, we're having

459
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:03,960
a We're having our first crawl fish boil of the

460
00:23:04,039 --> 00:23:06,279
year my family is on Saturday, and you know, everybody

461
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,119
drops all their own unique things in a boil, like

462
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,000
my brother in law does hold dill pickles, while my

463
00:23:12,039 --> 00:23:14,079
wife's side of the family drops hot dogs in there.

464
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,680
Like for you, what are your favorites to drop in

465
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,359
the boil? But also like maybe the craziest thing you've

466
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,039
seen dropped in a crawl fish boil.

467
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 9: Yeah, I've seen just about everything. It's from us, you know,

468
00:23:24,279 --> 00:23:27,880
any kind of vegetables and some fruit too, you know,

469
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,440
like I've put I've put blood oranges in, I've put

470
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,680
that summas in, I've put pineapple in, I've put here's

471
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,799
here's where some people get lost as mushrooms. And my

472
00:23:38,079 --> 00:23:40,359
my buddy Parker and I, he's the guy that has

473
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,000
to place up in Manny. He and I we when

474
00:23:43,039 --> 00:23:45,759
we boil crawfish together, we take it what's called John

475
00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:48,680
John and a spell that dj o in and hyping

476
00:23:48,799 --> 00:23:52,200
dj o in and it's a black mushroom bass that

477
00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:55,440
you know. We we like to put that mushroom base

478
00:23:55,599 --> 00:23:58,039
into the boil and it turns it like mud water.

479
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,759
And but that mushroom and base adds a kind of

480
00:24:01,759 --> 00:24:05,359
an oomammy savory flavor to the to the boil. That

481
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,519
is just incredible, man. And it's not gonna be for everybody.

482
00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:10,680
Some people are already thumbering their nose to it and

483
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,680
thinking that's awful. But for me, you know, like I

484
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,039
love mushrooms and it has a very deep kind of

485
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,920
earthy flavor that I think that goes well with with crawfish.

486
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,279
And when we boil crawfish, the whole family comes down,

487
00:24:23,319 --> 00:24:25,119
you know. They they flock down there because they know

488
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,839
that you know it's going to be done, right, So.

489
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 5: Chef, do you do you participate in LANT? If you do,

490
00:24:31,599 --> 00:24:33,759
is there anything specific that you gave up this year?

491
00:24:35,079 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 9: I do not, but I do. Then what I mean

492
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,920
is that I have five hundred eight athletes that many

493
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,839
of them do participate in LANT, and so we practice

494
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,960
PLANT here by, you know, accommodating menus and such, and

495
00:24:47,039 --> 00:24:50,279
so I'm a I'm a man of God for sure,

496
00:24:50,319 --> 00:24:53,519
but I don't practice LANT. And that doesn't mean that

497
00:24:53,559 --> 00:24:56,559
we don't have a you know, one hundred people around

498
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,920
us and more that that do. So we we definitely

499
00:24:58,960 --> 00:24:59,839
accommodate for lent.

500
00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 4: Sure, Chef.

501
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,519
Speaker 5: Somebody asking the chat, have you ever had a recipe

502
00:25:07,559 --> 00:25:10,359
stolen from you? I don't know if you have, but

503
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,680
my question would be, like, for you, most unique thing

504
00:25:14,799 --> 00:25:17,279
that like you've created, like something that was kind of

505
00:25:17,279 --> 00:25:19,039
out of the box you wanted to drive it turned

506
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:19,920
out to be pretty good.

507
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 9: Yeah. The first thing that comes to mind is the

508
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,680
coffee rub that I just thank Me and the same guy, Parker,

509
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,559
we worked together at a at a baseball stadium, a

510
00:25:30,559 --> 00:25:33,200
minor league baseball stadium in Kansas City, and we were

511
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,279
trying to come up with something that really grabbed attention,

512
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,559
and we ended up doing this coffee rub ribbi sandwich.

513
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,160
It was a coffee rub. We drizzled honey on the

514
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:47,839
on the ribbi and seared that so that so the

515
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,359
honey caramelized and put the rub on it so it

516
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,200
stuck really well, and then grilled it and the coffee

517
00:25:54,279 --> 00:25:56,640
rub just took off. By the way. We also put

518
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,400
it on uh swirl jewish and pumper nickel r with

519
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,240
some fried sweet data fries on it. So the sandwich

520
00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:07,279
was just sick and it's sold like gangbusters. And so

521
00:26:07,519 --> 00:26:09,519
we've taken that to a couple of different places that

522
00:26:09,559 --> 00:26:13,640
we worked. And yes, I have had people take steal

523
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,440
my recipes. And here's the thing is that I'll share

524
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:17,480
the recipe if you ask.

525
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:18,519
Speaker 10: Well, if you take it.

526
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 9: Without asking, you're not going to get the right recipe

527
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,759
because Parker and I purposely have adjusted things in the

528
00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:27,759
recipes that are wrong that we know are wrong, so

529
00:26:27,799 --> 00:26:30,160
that if you take the recipe and steal it, it's

530
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,319
not going to taste it's not going to taste right.

531
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,920
So you know, if you ask me about it, I'll

532
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,400
give you the right recipe. But if you're going to

533
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,680
take without asking your You're going to get a foul taste.

534
00:26:39,759 --> 00:26:41,799
Speaker 5: Well, and the good thing is chef like the fact

535
00:26:41,839 --> 00:26:43,160
that it's going to be a foul TATIONE. They're only

536
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,799
going to try it once, so you really want to

537
00:26:44,839 --> 00:26:47,599
story about it one time. I'll one more for you

538
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,319
before I let you go. It's a baseball season. Everyone's

539
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:51,559
fired up about the Tigers.

540
00:26:51,599 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 9: Love it.

541
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,599
Speaker 4: Everyone's going to be out there at the box.

542
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,839
Speaker 5: What is your go to like must have ballpark food

543
00:26:57,839 --> 00:26:59,720
because everybody's got something a little different.

544
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 9: I absolutely am an idiot for Chicago dog. I love it.

545
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,519
It's like a salad on a hot dog, man, And

546
00:27:08,039 --> 00:27:11,079
I don't know if it's there. I'll walk around a

547
00:27:11,079 --> 00:27:13,839
ballpark until I find it. Man, I love a Chicago dog.

548
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,440
But you know, I've worked in baseball for so long

549
00:27:16,519 --> 00:27:19,359
that we've had so many other types of food, garlic

550
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,519
fries and other stuff. You know, Like, I'm a fan

551
00:27:21,559 --> 00:27:23,319
of baseball food. Just to be honest with you, I

552
00:27:23,319 --> 00:27:25,759
love the experience of the park, and I love the

553
00:27:25,799 --> 00:27:27,839
ballparks that take it beyond the hot dog too, that

554
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,279
have you know, really high class food. I love going

555
00:27:31,319 --> 00:27:34,079
to the parks that have that kind of stuff. But

556
00:27:34,559 --> 00:27:38,960
if it's you know, if it's what you're asking me,

557
00:27:39,319 --> 00:27:41,440
you know, like my favorite thing to go to is

558
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:42,559
definitely a Chicago dog.

559
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 4: Chef, how do you think the Tigers are going to

560
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:45,160
do this year?

561
00:27:45,839 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 9: I think they're gonna do great. Man. I love Jay,

562
00:27:48,039 --> 00:27:49,880
I love his team. I love you guys. You know,

563
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,720
I've got to hang out with a couple of guys

564
00:27:52,759 --> 00:27:55,200
and he just, man, he's got it. You know, the

565
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:01,759
energy's there, He's I mean, Jake, there's it's the culture

566
00:28:01,799 --> 00:28:04,680
of LSU, right, Like they're just bought into the program

567
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,000
and he's one thousand percent invested in what he's trying

568
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,359
to accomplish teaching those guys. Josh Jordan is another great guy.

569
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,200
I love the whole baseball team, man, and I love

570
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,000
watching him play. And they enjoy the game, you know,

571
00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:19,960
and it is a game for them, and you know

572
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,799
we're rooting for them to season through.

573
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,319
Speaker 10: For sure, all right.

574
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,279
Speaker 5: Chef Michael Johnson joins us every Thursday for our Manchie segment. Chef,

575
00:28:28,279 --> 00:28:29,279
thanks for the time this morning.

576
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 9: Take care, guys.

577
00:28:30,759 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 4: That was LSU.

578
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,079
Speaker 5: Executive Chef Michael Johnson. One thing I learned from that

579
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,319
interview Chef Johnson will eat just about anything. I mean,

580
00:28:38,319 --> 00:28:41,079
when I asked, what's the most exotic thing he's ever reading? Like,

581
00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:44,279
for me, I have an answer right across the bat.

582
00:28:44,799 --> 00:28:47,000
That was the toughest question chef was asked. He had

583
00:28:47,039 --> 00:28:48,839
to think about it. He's like, oh, I mean, I've

584
00:28:48,839 --> 00:28:51,200
eaten so many things, I mean, more exotic things than not.

585
00:28:51,599 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 4: That was wild.

586
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,839
Speaker 5: That was an incredible answer. Like, of course, Chef Johnson

587
00:28:56,079 --> 00:28:58,160
had some elaborate answer on one of the most exotic

588
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,319
things he ever reade was all right, just there's two

589

Tropy with the Elandra Villarrial Cassie Smizzali along for you

641
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,200
as well. About twenty minutes to go here on this

642
00:31:27,359 --> 00:31:31,839
Thursday morning, guys, this will be an hunter of Matt Flynn.

643
00:31:32,279 --> 00:31:34,480
Got a little Olympic update for you. We hadn't done

644
00:31:34,519 --> 00:31:35,920
it all week, We'll do it. We'll do a quick

645
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,240
little segment because uh I found out where the biathlon

646
00:31:39,359 --> 00:31:42,240
came from. No, it wasn't some hunter that just was

647
00:31:42,279 --> 00:31:43,359
good at skiing and shooting.

648
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,039
Speaker 4: How about this. It was a military.

649
00:31:46,559 --> 00:31:52,599
Speaker 5: Training exercise for European countries, Norwegian, Swedish military, Russian military.

650
00:31:53,039 --> 00:31:56,920
It combined skiing and shooting for border defense. And then

651
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,640
there was a whole nineteen twelve manual for the Russian

652
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,359
military explaining how it worked. That was a foundational document

653
00:32:03,599 --> 00:32:07,279
for putting this sport into the Olympics. Apparently, Russia, Germany, Norway,

654
00:32:07,319 --> 00:32:11,880
all these countries were big into putting it into the Olympics.

655
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,160
And speaking of the Olympics, at Norway, guys, they're dominating

656
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:21,759
this thing. Norway has sixteen gold medals, eight silver, ten bronze.

657
00:32:21,759 --> 00:32:24,400
They have thirty four total. Now the US is sitting

658
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,400
right there at twenty four, just seven total. As far

659
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:34,359
as gold go, there's this one guy for Norway. Let's

660
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,880
try out to butcher. This guy's name Yohanna's host lov

661
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,160
Clay Bows. Yeah, I'm sure that's right. He now has

662
00:32:41,359 --> 00:32:44,720
five gold medals in this Olympics, ten gold medals total.

663
00:32:44,759 --> 00:32:49,359
And it made me realize one thing, Michael Phelps is incredible.

664
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,039
This guy has ten gold medals and it's second all

665
00:32:53,119 --> 00:32:58,880
time to Michael Phelps's twenty three that's insane. Like when

666
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,960
you look at some of the great athletes of all

667
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,920
time across all sports, like Tom Brady for football, like

668
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:09,839
everybody says, oh, they're my goat of whatever. Like there's

669
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,480
the debate between Michael Jordan and Lebron James for basketball.

670
00:33:13,839 --> 00:33:17,000
You could a number of players in baseball, right, Like

671
00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:19,880
baseball is kind of the most wide open one. Tennis

672
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,559
you got Federer, you got an a Doll, you got Djokovic.

673
00:33:24,039 --> 00:33:27,319
Is there a more dominant athlete in American history than

674
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,599
Michael Phelps? I mean, look at what this gout twenty

675
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:35,720
three twenty three Olympic gold medals. This saw Norwegian cross

676
00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:38,480
country skier just got second with ten.

677
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:40,839
Speaker 4: That's incredible.

678
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,839
Speaker 5: I mean, like there's not an equal to Michael Phelps anywhere.

679
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,279
His first Olympics e went eight for eight, eight eight events,

680
00:33:50,279 --> 00:33:51,640
eight gold medals.

681
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:53,359
Speaker 4: Like that's why I'm.

682
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 5: Not as locked into the Winter Olympics as I was

683
00:33:55,519 --> 00:34:00,279
the Summer. Michael Phelps made the Summer Olympics watchable. Like

684
00:34:00,279 --> 00:34:04,200
if you were to make a mount rushmore of all

685
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,840
athletes ever in the US, like for me, the easiest

686
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,440
one would be Michael Phillips. He goes up there number one,

687
00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:15,159
Like Phelps is up there, tom Brady's up there.

688
00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:17,519
Speaker 4: The next too are up for debate.

689
00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 5: Like a lot of people will say Michael Jordan's the

690
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,440
greatest basketball player they ever lived. You'll have a lot

691
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,920
of people from our generation say it's Lebron James. The

692
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:31,320
generation after me, you'll probably have a different name. I

693
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,480
don't think there's any debate with Tom Brady, but there's

694
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,480
some people that say, oh, you know, if you get

695
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,320
Patrick Mahomes enough time, he'll pass Tom Brady. Patrick Mahomes

696
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,679
is not passing Tom Brady. But that's beside the point.

697
00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:48,239
No one's passing Michael Phelps ever in anything like to me, like, yes,

698
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,559
he's the most decorated Olympian in history, no question. Twenty

699
00:34:51,599 --> 00:34:54,400
eight total medals, twenty three goals. You see the picture

700
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,800
right there on the back screen, Like how.

701
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 4: Much weight is that?

702
00:34:58,079 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 5: Look at all those medals like that that's incredible, Like

703
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,639
that is fit, in my opinion, the most dominant athlete

704
00:35:07,199 --> 00:35:09,440
maybe ever. Like I was looking at these Olympics and

705
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,159
they were comparing and they were like, oh, yeah for

706
00:35:11,159 --> 00:35:13,719
the Winter Olympics, or this guy second all time behind

707
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:14,559
only Michael Phelps.

708
00:35:14,599 --> 00:35:15,599
Speaker 4: I'm like Michael Phelps.

709
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,559
Speaker 5: Has thirteen more than this guy who's second all time

710
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:19,760
in gold medals.

711
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 4: Like a lot of people talk about Mark Spitz.

712
00:35:21,519 --> 00:35:24,039
Speaker 5: He won nine Olympic gold medals, Sure, but he won

713
00:35:24,119 --> 00:35:27,159
seven and one back in nineteen seventy two and then

714
00:35:27,199 --> 00:35:29,119
he won two gold medals in the next Olympics.

715
00:35:29,519 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 4: Phelps did it across three and he was incredible.

716
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 5: I mean he did it two thousand and four to

717
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,599
twenty sixteen, and like we're we're never gonna see that.

718
00:35:39,639 --> 00:35:44,039
Like I remember, I was, oh man, I was a

719
00:35:44,119 --> 00:35:46,800
sophomore in college. I guess twenty sixteen would have been

720
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,559
his last Olympics. And like it was appointment viewing, like

721
00:35:50,679 --> 00:35:52,639
I don't get locked into the Olympics. And I was like,

722
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,639
I gotta make sure whatever night of the week, it's there,

723
00:35:57,119 --> 00:35:59,519
it's the two hundred meters whatever, whatever Phelps is in it,

724
00:35:59,519 --> 00:36:02,719
I gotta go. Because you just knew history was going

725
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,239
to be made. Like we need an athlete like that

726
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,519
in the Olympics. You haven't seen one since then, Like

727
00:36:08,559 --> 00:36:11,880
you're saying Bolt was kind of that guy, But I

728
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,480
mean it, it's not the same as a Michael Phelps.

729
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 4: Look as far as the Olympics. Go of this Olympics.

730
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 5: Like I mentioned US and third right now twenty four

731
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:25,760
total medals, Norway in first thirty four, and Italy twenty six.

732
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 4: The home country always has an advantage. It seems like

733
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:29,480
they don't have to travel or anything.

734
00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 5: US men's hockey team they won yesterday against Sweden in

735
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,199
the quarter final rounds two to one at overtime. That's

736
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,320
a really good team. I am ready for the four

737
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,840
nations face off. Last year was the first time I

738
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,039
had watched it. I was like locked into the TV,

739
00:36:43,639 --> 00:36:45,920
and I'm not even a big hockey guy, but I

740
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,000
wanted to give you a little bit of.

741
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,079
Speaker 4: An Olympic update there.

742
00:36:48,079 --> 00:36:49,679

743
00:36:49,679 --> 00:36:51,440
world of sports, unless you baseball underway.

744
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,559
Speaker 4: I was like, look's let's give the Olympics a little

745
00:36:53,559 --> 00:36:54,000
bit of love.

746
00:36:54,039 --> 00:36:58,440

men's hockey team does as well. All right, we're gonna

749
00:37:03,639 --> 00:37:05,840
wrap it up when we come back next I just

750
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,159

Speaker 1: Tornado flu around Tiger's turn talkers. This is Off the Bench.

777
00:38:29,199 --> 00:38:34,679
Speaker 10: He usually does rain in southern California, much like Arizona.

778
00:38:35,039 --> 00:38:39,239
Mac asked dump shades. But Buddy, Bob and I'm thinking

779
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:39,679
about you.

780
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 4: Welcome back.

781
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,639
Speaker 5: In final segment Here on a Thursday edition of Off

782
00:38:43,639 --> 00:38:46,920
the Bench, Taylor Sharp's sitting in for Jacob Vester and

783
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:51,480
Matt Flynn, Landravillar Reale, Kessie's Fazzali hanging out with you

784
00:38:51,559 --> 00:38:54,239
as well. We got to ask the bench right now.

785
00:38:55,199 --> 00:38:57,920
I got the first one. This is for Kessie and Laundrum.

786
00:38:58,199 --> 00:39:01,119
Ask the bench. Would you rather eat iguana pizza or

787
00:39:01,119 --> 00:39:02,440
iguana tacos?

788
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 6: Neither period.

789
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 4: Neither a good options.

790
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 6: I can't. I can't pick one because I wouldn't eat it.

791
00:39:10,559 --> 00:39:13,679
Speaker 5: No, I'd say pizza. The melted cheese on pizza hides

792
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,880
a lot of things. You kind of you gotta drench

793
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,519
that thing in red sauce coated with some melted cheese.

794
00:39:18,519 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 4: I think you'd be fine.

795
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,679
Speaker 5: Like tacos. The meat, I feel like the meat is

796
00:39:21,679 --> 00:39:23,800
a lot more prevalent in tacos than it is on

797
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,400
a pizza. I feel like you could hide it better

798
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,039
with the pizza and then you don't.

799
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,079
Speaker 4: Know what you're eating half the time. Just cover it

800
00:39:30,079 --> 00:39:30,920
with the cheese on top.

801
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 5: I think we'll be fine, all right. Ask the bench, Landra,

802
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,960
you can lead this one favorite San Antonio Spur of

803
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:39,440
all time?

804
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,079
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I didn't know where you were gonna go.

805
00:39:46,039 --> 00:39:49,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Manu Genobili is my favor.

806
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 6: Okay, underappreciated, Yeah.

807
00:39:52,559 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 5: For sure, because like he was everybody kind of viewed

808
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,559
him as the three.

809
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 4: In that team behind Duncan and Tony Parker.

810
00:39:58,039 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 5: But yeah, Genobili, I mean, super consistent for such a

811
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,880
long time. Something the other day was like athletes you

812
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,360
forgot played for a certain team. I completely forgot that

813
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:11,280
Tony Parker ended his career with the Charlotte Hornets.

814
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,519
Speaker 4: Like they're only there's showed like an athlete. It's like,

815
00:40:12,519 --> 00:40:13,159
do you remember this.

816
00:40:13,199 --> 00:40:18,199
Speaker 5: I'm like completely forgot, completely forgot that Tony Parker played there.

817
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,840
Asked the bench, if you could party with one current

818
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:23,719
or former olympian, who would it be?

819
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:24,519
Speaker 4: Sean White?

820
00:40:24,519 --> 00:40:30,159
Speaker 5: Probably we're talking about him the other day. Yeah, short

821
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:34,719
King Sean White. I mean, I don't know how much

822
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,559
Phelps partied. He kind of seemed like he was serious

823
00:40:37,599 --> 00:40:41,639
all the time. Ryan Lockey, you always talk about him

824
00:40:41,679 --> 00:40:42,920
in the in the Breakout.

825
00:40:42,559 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 4: Didn't Ryan Lockey? Did you get in trouble for like trashing?

826
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:46,440
I guess that, yeah.

827
00:40:46,519 --> 00:40:48,559
Speaker 2: And he was like trying to say that he was

828
00:40:48,599 --> 00:40:53,400
in Brazil the real Visionaro Olympics, and I think they

829
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:54,239
were like trashing.

830
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:56,559
Speaker 6: Like first reports.

831
00:40:56,199 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 2: Came out that him and someone else they were raw

832
00:41:00,119 --> 00:41:04,079
that gunpoint by people that were dressed as police, but

833
00:41:04,119 --> 00:41:08,559
they were actual police that were like, hey, stop peeing

834
00:41:08,599 --> 00:41:12,239
all over the side of the bathroom and like vandalizing

835
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,320
this place. And then I guess they bribed them to

836
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,360
like get out of it. And yeah, that's what happened.

837
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:19,559
So he had like a whole scandal.

838
00:41:19,639 --> 00:41:20,119
Speaker 4: Okay, that's what.

839
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was his That was his last Olympics.

00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 6: Yes, twenty sixteen.

841
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 2: I vaguely remember him having like a reality show or

842
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:29,800
being on one.

843
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,199
Speaker 6: He was Okay, he was.

844
00:41:31,199 --> 00:41:32,679
Speaker 5: I don't know what it was, but I remember that

845
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,400
as well. Yes, he definitely had one. I remember the

846
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,760
law ladies loved them some Ryan Lockedy.

847
00:41:38,119 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 2: I loved Ryan Locke.

848
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,639
Speaker 4: We then remember once he his last Olympics, he would

849
00:41:43,679 --> 00:41:46,559
like bleach blonde, yeah, which I mean.

850
00:41:46,559 --> 00:41:48,119
Speaker 5: Wasn't wasn't a great look. I remember a lot of

00:41:48,159 --> 00:41:50,480
people were, we're really mad about that. Yeah he went

852
00:41:50,559 --> 00:41:51,239

853
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 6: He must have been crashing out over something.

854
00:41:53,599 --> 00:41:54,519
Speaker 4: You must I mean that. Yeah.

855
00:41:54,519 --> 00:41:57,039
Speaker 5: That was the same Olympics with the the gas station

856
00:41:57,079 --> 00:41:59,679
bathroom incidents. So uh went off the deep end there

857
00:41:59,679 --> 00:42:00,880
a little asked the.

858
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:05,159
Speaker 6: Bench doesn't look good right now, and I was like.

861
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 5: I don't know what he does, asked the bench. Go

00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:18,480

863
00:42:18,519 --> 00:42:19,119
know you're well.

864
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 4: Also, the freaking guys, I don't know.

865
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,679
Speaker 6: They don't have him anymore. They're already gone.

866
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 4: They're already gone.

867
00:42:25,039 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 6: Looks terrible, alright, he looks bad. I think Ryan looks hard.

868
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:31,039
Speaker 7: Yeah.

869
00:42:31,079 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 6: I tried to order one the other day and I

870
00:42:33,199 --> 00:42:34,079
didn't see it on the menu.

871
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 4: That's Ryan, like Jackson Siegel. It does like, right, that's

872
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:40,599
not Ryan lockedy.

873
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:41,559
Speaker 6: He looks terrible.

874
00:42:42,119 --> 00:42:45,199
Speaker 5: That looks like Jason Siegel and saving Sarah forgetting Sarah Marshall.

875
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 2: I'm chaking my answer. I want to party with Ryan Lockedy.

876
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:49,519
Obviously he partied really hard.

877
00:42:49,519 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 4: He did.

878
00:42:50,159 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 5: He aged fifty years and since we've seen him eight

879
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,039
years ago or whatever it was to the platinum.

880
00:42:57,159 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 2: But look what he used to look like, even with

881
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:00,519
platinum blow on hair.

882
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that handsome man. That's not Ryan Lockedy.

883
00:43:04,199 --> 00:43:07,599
Speaker 6: Look at the hair, like that's a handsome man.

884
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,039
Speaker 4: No, yeah, for sure, Like the hair is terrible, but yeah,

885
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,960
like the eyes don't even look the same.

886
00:43:15,039 --> 00:43:16,679
Speaker 6: Don't do drugs, kids, We need a.

887
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,039
Speaker 4: Wellness check on Ryan Lockety.

888
00:43:18,159 --> 00:43:21,039
Speaker 5: That's not him. That's somebody pretending to be Ryan Lockedy.

889
00:43:22,119 --> 00:43:24,360
I texted the laundro a couple of weeks ago. It's like, hey,

890
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:25,599
I don't know if I should be mad at you

891
00:43:25,679 --> 00:43:27,440
or thank you. Because she told me that the case

892
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,639
of rito was back at Taco Bell. I went and

893
00:43:29,679 --> 00:43:32,159
got four within like a two and a half week period,

894
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,480
because they're incredible and apparently they're already gone.

895
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 4: I hate the limited I hate the limited items.

896
00:43:38,159 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 5: Like every year they're like, oh, we're gonna bring this back,

897
00:43:40,039 --> 00:43:41,159
but we're really gonna have it for like three We

898
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:42,320
just keep it on the damn menu.

899
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 2: Keep well the case of rito is so good? Why

900
00:43:44,519 --> 00:43:46,840
is why is it not? It used to be a permanent.

901
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 5: And it's stuff you already have on the menu. You

902
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,800
already have rice, you already have the chicken, the beef,

903
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,920
you already have the hot sauce and the cheese. Like,

904
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:55,960
why why not just keep it? It's not like you

905
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,960
have to keep stuff stocked that you don't already have.

906
00:43:58,519 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 2: So Ryan Lockey is kind of a mess. I just

907
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,800
looked him up four hours ago. Ryan Lochtey's ex Slams

908
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,079
Olympic swimmer, says she hopes he quote becomes the father

909
00:44:08,159 --> 00:44:09,840
our kids deserve unquote.

910
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:13,039
Speaker 6: Okay, this dude was going through something.

911
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 5: He's a mad But I gotta tell you, maybe the

912
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,920
answer of partying it is really looks.

913
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 6: Really good or looked.

914
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, now he just looks like a middle aged actor.

915
00:44:25,199 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 6: H Wow.

916
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 5: That that's that's insane. That that's pretty sure. That's not

917
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:32,400
that's not.

918
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 4: Easy.

919
00:44:34,519 --> 00:44:36,760
Speaker 5: In the chat said nobody wants to party with Tanya Hardy.

920
00:44:37,039 --> 00:44:39,159
I don't know what's on about Tommy and I know.

Speaker 5: The whole scandal of the you know, being involved in

923
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,719
the breaking of the other figure skater's ankle.

924
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,679
Speaker 4: And all that. I know that scandal like.

925
00:44:50,639 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 5: But like does party hard Like obviously it's a controversial figure, right,

926
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,599
Like that's that's an awful thing to do. But it's

927
00:44:58,679 --> 00:45:05,519

933
00:45:14,679 --> 00:45:17,119
Speaker 2: So wait real quick, this is just really funny to me.

934
00:45:17,519 --> 00:45:20,719
I mean it's not funny, but like, okay, he's a mess.

935
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:27,039
Ryan's response to his ex wife, he told the Daily

936
00:45:27,119 --> 00:45:29,639
Mail quote, She's the one that wanted this divorce in

937
00:45:29,679 --> 00:45:32,760
the first place, and now she's playing this pity part.

938
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 5: Hell yeah, much in Love is Blind right now, that's

00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,639
update on that tomorrow. It's it's it's incredible. It is

942
00:45:44,679 --> 00:45:46,639
getting back to where it was a few years ago

943
00:45:46,679 --> 00:45:49,199
when I fell in love with Love is Blind. It's

944
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,199
like all the women on there are just unstable. All

945
00:45:52,199 --> 00:45:54,119
the guys on there are just full of themselves and

946
00:45:54,119 --> 00:45:57,360
their idiots, so like shocker, none of them work out.

947
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,679
But just an incredible show. You want to feel better

948
00:45:59,679 --> 00:46:01,679
about your self. Go watch Love Is Blind for about

949
00:46:01,679 --> 00:46:03,960
a half hour. You'll be like, things aren't so bad.

950
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,199
My decision making is not quite as poor as I

951
00:46:06,199 --> 00:46:07,559
thought it was. All Right, that's going to do it.

952
