Speaker 1: All start to you to presents. Off the bench with
Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,
Off the bench with Jacob Hester and Bob Aber.
Speaker 2: I gotta come off the bench.
Speaker 1: Now here's Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Yo, what's good? Ben Rose, Louisiana always yanna, uh everywhere
anywhere that you're listening from. Let us know in the
buyou Ford YouTube, Jet Gonna YouTube, dot Com, Slash one,
O four five, ESPN, and uh get involved you in
it coming out today. I'm t by baber e j Caster.
We got a laundro a v n a l back
from vacation. We got Taylor Sharp here in studio as well.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: And we had a fantastic time last night and celebrating
Jake's birthday at the Elite Training Academy Batters. Many do
Sekis were drunk. It was awesome, great food. It just
great people, great times. And it was killing me, Jake
to not it was killing me to not tell you
about the party. But it was all worth it in
the end. You had no idea, no I had.
Speaker 4: I had zero idea that anything was being played. I
was like, look, you know you're forty years old. You
got work that's just kind of what it is, and
you got baseball practice after the second job, and you know,
you just go about your business.
Speaker 2: Maybe this weekend we'll do something, but no, you'all all
got me. I felt so bad at me yesterday. I
could tell you were a little sad because of course rightfully,
so you're turning forty years old, and like you said,
you think like, okay, well I'm just gonna do six
hours of radio and then go to Little league practice.
The second it ends, what a bummer like? Nobody cares.
I guess f me right, And they so desperately wanted
to be like, no, bro, trust me, there's something coming,
but we couldn't. But it was all worth it in
the end, seeing your face walk into that building where
you thought you were walking into just another lug Nuts practice,
only to see all your friends, family, everybody else. Shout
out to Katie, she really killed it. A lot of
logistics went into this, and to achieve the amount of
logistics while not getting caught fantastic stuff.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 4: I mean I kept looking around the room and I'd
see another person like, how are they here?
Speaker 5: How are they here? How'd they make it here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had no idea Laundro was back in town.
Speaker 6: Oh really, you didn't even know that here.
Speaker 7: I was like, yeah, it was killing me to like
not say anything. Yes, just die.
Speaker 2: I was waiting for Jake to leave after the show
so badly because I needed to vent to somebody about
how badly I felt.
Speaker 7: Yeah it was.
Speaker 2: But again, but again, I guess that's Hey, that's that's
what you do party way, dude, you know, I mean,
I guess you have to. The pain makes the happiness
worth it. In the end, whatever intrusive thoughts you had
about all of us not loving you and caring about
you ended up uh being erased in the end.
Speaker 4: Well, the funny part was, like I actually was was
pretty excited because like the whole week tea, Bob remembered
my birthday.
Speaker 2: I think it was Wednesday. Was the red flax?
Speaker 4: I said your last I was like, hold up, but
he didn't see it on social media yet, and in
my mind, I.
Speaker 5: Said a laundres out of town.
Speaker 4: She wrote to Bob and Taylor, Hey, it's Jake's birthday
on Thursday, y'all.
Speaker 2: Don't forget.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to be there to remind you. That's like,
it's very.
Speaker 2: Logical and reasonable deduction. Yeah, I would say an assumption I.
Speaker 7: Did text them.
Speaker 2: Maybe it was no, Lodra's been on it. A Landra
has been on it. Her and Katie have been working
in tandem. Uh.
Speaker 6: In some aspects, it was kind of funny because it
was burner phone like where we were only messaging on Instagram,
so you wouldn't accidentally see me texting her on her phone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because smart Carlow always has her phone. If I
saw Ladra and then all of a sudden, he's laund.
Speaker 2: It's been in the plans for weeks weeks, and it
uh like it could have so easily leaked out in
one way or another, but it did not. So shout
out to Katie and everybody was a super fun here.
Look we have the video, super super.
Speaker 4: Fun Oh, we got the video of him walking in
Oh and I talked to everybody there that day, so
I had no idea, like everybody's there at some point
I talked with him.
Speaker 2: That's funny here.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 7: All right, we have Memphis in the beginning. It is
so funny.
Speaker 2: Did Memphis No, Yeah, I didn't care. You played it well,
you didn't care. There's a man who thought he was
just going to another practice, and I got my bucket.
The best that's my favorite part is him continuing to
look around the room and see more and more people
that are that are here. What a great night?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got me.
Speaker 5: That was awesome.
Speaker 4: That was that was uh the best birthday I think
I've ever had.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, oh that's very sweet. There you go, Katie,
hell yeah, clip that. It was fantastic. So surprise shout
out a lead. How great is elite?
Speaker 5: First time up there?
Speaker 2: It was? Uh was there on the opening? Yeah?
Speaker 5: The really you don't want to support us?
Speaker 3: Man? Damn?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Taylor, And I mean I'm busy, guys, be very
surprised he made it to your surprise party last night.
Speaker 7: He's super busy.
Speaker 3: Me.
Speaker 8: No, I can't I come to events, guys, I mean
not the opening.
Speaker 5: Of it were all there.
Speaker 2: I tried to joke with Victoria last night and landed
completely flat.
Speaker 8: Oh no, she remember that well that so she's always like, Taylor,
don't don't And this was my fault because I did
not relate this information to you. This is entirely on me.
She was like, I asked him what to wear, but like,
don't mention me, and I'm like, okay, yay, I got you.
Speaker 2: I got you.
Speaker 8: And then we're all in Rivers and me, you and
Rivers are standing right there in the hallway and Rivers
ask what to wear. But I was like, oh yeah,
Victoria's kind of wondering that water. She goes, did you
mention me? I was like, no, I didn't need to.
Rivers ask first, and I forgot. I threw that in there,
and t Bub goes, hey h, Victoria nailed the outfit.
Taylor told me earlier that George just stared at me,
and I was like, she's gonna laugh.
Speaker 2: She did not laugh. I see her. I feel a
little anchor.
Speaker 8: And we talked about it in the car all the
way home.
Speaker 2: No, why do you?
Speaker 3: Why do you lie about it? You told me.
Speaker 8: That that you didn't and I was like, okay, initially
I did not. I was like, because Rivers asked her,
Like I just forgot about that.
Speaker 2: I cannot believe. Oh my god, I can ut believe it.
Right when we got there, that is so funny. I
had no idea. I thought I was just making a
tiny little joke. I got.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 2: I'm glad I got you.
Speaker 3: Trying.
Speaker 6: I think this even this is funny. I got to
give a shout out to to Brandon over at Dell
Sekis because I asked him like a few weeks ago,
like hey, are you wanting to donate some beers? So
he brought that or brought some beers to Guarantee and
I went, I dropped up shout out to land and
here and Guarantee he works here. He like took me
to go drop them all off. And I saw Greg
string Fellow while I was there, and he was telling
me that he was going to go to Cincinnati for
Joe Burrow's thing or whatever.
Speaker 2: Greg's the only non Foxhole guy there. Yeah. Hester goes
to QB one and sold my.
Speaker 7: So then when I went to beer, that's.
Speaker 2: Exactly right, big cleat chasers, like my mom used to say,
jock sniffer.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Greg.
Speaker 6: So when I went to go see him, he was
telling me that, and I was like, oh man, Jake's
could be so upset. And then he told me that
he was gonna like really play it up to you.
Speaker 2: He did a real jerk.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was.
Speaker 6: He told you like, well, since you're not doing anything
for your birthday, I'm.
Speaker 4: Gonna go to Yeah, he did, like on Tuesday when
I went up there.
Speaker 2: Like, Greg is ruthless, dude, really just twisting the night again.
Speaker 4: It's funny. I was like, ran from second Yeah, sure
it makes sense. Greg's you can see the quarterback, the
surprises no one?
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah? I know right?
Speaker 2: Uh? All right, Well, happy birthday, Jake. It was an
awesome party.
Speaker 3: Uh.

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the best morning sports show around sorta.
It's off the bench with Hester and T Bob.
Speaker 2: It was heading y'all, Welcome back Cobe. Everyone's having a
wonderful Friday.
Speaker 4: I still don't understand how Big Voice lady like when
she got that note. She didn't understand like the Sorda
was supposed to be, probably like the Sports Talk and
not like us being a good show, not condescending.
Speaker 8: Yeah, tone's kind of off on everything.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of and I was pretty bullish at first,
but I've kind of turned on them. Yeah. Yeah, it's
like we are the number seven morning sports show in
the country. But you know what, I haven't turned on.
Speaker 8: It's kind of a pause before seven where she's like,
no way exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what if she actually likes the showsten
she lives like in l A or something. Shock problem.
There you go, freaking coastal.
Speaker 7: Elites, the you know what, I show you her Instagram.
Speaker 2: I haven't turned on that. I'm gonna get sorry. I
know you're trying to get that joke.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to give a lont of credit for Fleetwood Mac.
Speaker 2: I'm just sorry, noo.
Speaker 4: I think we should get, like we all know, people
with great voices. I think we should get somebody else
to do this show.
Speaker 2: And just have our own thing. I'm not a post.
I'm not a post. That's that's a decision. Maybe, uh
well run it up the flagpole and see.
Speaker 5: Mike get sent right back down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who knows? All right, Sorry, good job in the
fleet That's all I say. It's a great way to
set the mood for the weekend. However, it's a very
chill mood. And when you start to think about this
LSU baseball weekend, chill would be one of the last
words on planet Earth that I would describe it with,
because this is a weekend, uh where you should already
be nervous. It is massive stakes, super high leverage. They
were yes today we broke down the pretty stark disparity
between this baseball team at home and on the road. Well,
what's at play right now? Playing at home when it
matters most and the tournament and this weekend, when it
comes to being a top eight national seed. This weekend
has the power to damn near not fully, but we're
gonna give it damn near status sweekend has a power
to damn near make you or break you in terms
of getting that national seed. And it's Arkansas, a team
that has had your number the last few regular season
series that they all have gone toe to toe. Now,
granted a couple of those were a long time ago.
The Patent Rouge were I think it was nineteen and
twenty one. They swept you last year. Second best team
in the country right now, a lock for a top
eight national seed, Arkansas is and this this one of
the reason why I loved this weekend so much is
it has that high risk, high reward setting juiced up
to eleven. You went to a three, you damn near
locked it up. You lose two of three, you're on
the outside looking at you would have to sweep South
Carolina and have a chance at it. Yeah, So every
we'll go more detail on the resume, and that's definitely doable.
We'll go to more detail on the resume. But my
got every single pitch is going to matter. This weekend
all starting to kind of come together to I was like,
let's go the baseball.
Speaker 4: Game on Friday, Like what are we like for the birthday?
Let's go to the baseball You're talking to Katie and
she's not committed.
Speaker 5: Like wait, like she loves going to the box.
Speaker 4: Like hell, I was like, you know, we got my
mom here, like maybe like Harlow didn't have to come,
Like she can stay at home, she can come.
Speaker 5: She won't do whatever I'm missing here. You are going
to go Do you think I never got a commitment?
Speaker 2: So again we're gonna be dealing with the delay.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean probably, bro, if you play tonight, I'm
thinking nine thirty.
Speaker 2: What is going on? They are now? Granted, we got
the incredible Tennessee moment and it's it's it is actually
more abaud ascid. It happened at one thirty am. But
I want to see the box at full throat for
a Friday night once. This year, it feels like it's
either been opponents that weren't exciting enough or the weather
just completely screwing up every freaking week. Please baseball God stop.
Speaker 8: Somewhere between nine and ten looks like so.
Speaker 2: I'm i'm, i'm, I'm. I'm reading a book about the
Vikings right now called Children of ash and elmh.
Speaker 5: I thought you were talking about Dante Colepepper and Randy Moss.
Speaker 2: No, even though for me growing up, that's one of
the most memorable football years of my entire life. Chris
Carter and Randy Moss and Dante Cole or sorry no, no, no,
Randall Cunningham. Oh yea, that that was my combination when
Moss was very young and it was Carter Moss cutting Ham. God,
they were good. It might have been the year where
Moss had that game against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving where
what was it like three catches for like one and
three tuns or something. It was, it was, it was insane.
Speaker 5: Sorry, that's so I thought you were reading.
Speaker 6: Now, back to sweeping South Carolina. They got beat by
Auburn twenty four to two last night.
Speaker 7: Twenty four to twenty four to two.
Speaker 2: Aburn's pretty damn good.
Speaker 7: Auburn's pretty damn so.
Speaker 2: Actually that's one of the key parts in Haunt Palmer's
resume breakdown in Louisiana Sports on that right now is
your two games ahead of Auburn right now? So you're fine,
but don't end up tied, right because y'all are compete
nasty because they have that sweep over you like you
will never You don't have a chance of getting chosen
over them if you end up tied so very tight
when it comes to trying to stay ahead of them.
But I guess the point is what I was saying
is I've been thinking a lot about ritual human sacrifice.
Speaker 8: Would Yeah, I think about that twice a week.
Speaker 5: So you watched Northman too many times?
Speaker 2: Well, I know, and that's what got me on this book.
And it's really good. It's not a dry book. I've
been reading a lot of dry history lately, and I
keep kind of stopping and starting fits and starts. Finally,
I'm like really locked in and like I crave Oh,
I can't wait to dive back into it. So that's
a nice place to be. But the point is who
should we sacrifice?
Speaker 8: Like does it instinct Tailor?
Speaker 2: But the gods care so little about him. I don't
know if it's going to do anything since it's baseball related.
I feel like Muso could be pretty impactful, Yeah, I
think so.
Speaker 7: I think it might have to be Moose.
Speaker 2: Even over Hunt. Yeah, because like.
Speaker 7: Passion, like hunts a lot taller than Moose. There's a
lot more of Hunt than there is.
Speaker 2: I don't know if the gods care about mass though,
say actual mass, because if we're just going love of
LSU baseball, Moose is thirty feet tall.
Speaker 5: Yeah, nice giant like Hunt loves it. But Hunt loves
other things.
Speaker 4: I think as much as he loves LSU baseball, like
the Cubs and LSU football, Lshue basketball, Hunt enjoys that
as well. There's nothing in this world that Moose loves
more than LSU baseball.
Speaker 2: It's true. So unfortunately Moosa has got to go.
Speaker 7: It's obviously not gonna be me, you know, I think
he'll actually be down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he would if he knows it's to preserve the
potential of a Friday night in the box and keep
the crowd, you know, full. And at eleven, I think
he's going to be into it.
Speaker 8: Absolutely not what like, what should we do it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Would he be willing to do it?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: What do you mean not for lsu baseball?
Speaker 7: Sacrifice things for the things you love.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, I'm pretty sure when a Yarrol or whatever
they used to call them would die back in the day,
like they would, they would sacrifice their lovers.
Speaker 8: No, I get it. But like Moose, like you, he's
got the season tickets. He loves going to the box.
I feel like it's one of those things where it's
like I'd really enjoy if that happened, but I want
to be there too, type situation.
Speaker 7: What's a better seat than heaven?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Exactly, dude. We'll sell him that he can do
an Angels in the outfield thing, Yeah right, he can,
Like he can carry this Stephen Mylin. Watch, watch, We're
gonna sacrifice Moose. And then like bottom of the eighth,
they got a man on second and third two outs,
and they're gonna rip one or gonna be top of
the eighth. They're gonna rip one and it's gonna be
going over Milem's head. But he's gonna jump fifteen feet
in the air and catch it and will know it's
actually that winged angel Matthew Muso carrying him to catch
that ball, just like that angel carried Matthew McConaughey and
angels in the outfield, Matthew Muso, Matthew McConaughey. If I've
compared him once, I've compared him a million times. It's
all coming together. A checkmate, whether gods better luck next
time you call the nerds freaking nerds, Martyr Mussa. There
you go, don't right?
Speaker 7: We moved on a candle, like an icon candle.
Speaker 2: I would love to have, yes, Like I would love
to have a Musso candle. You can keep your Joe
Burrow candles.
Speaker 7: So mine?
Speaker 3: Uh what I have?
Speaker 7: Somebody that gave me one of those.
Speaker 6: They found one and they bought it and gave it
to me, and I was like, I'm really sorry, but
I can't keep this. And I gave it to my
neighbors because those make me a little uncomfortable for some reason.
Speaker 2: So why do you think they're sacrilegious or just candles
in general?
Speaker 6: The the icon candles that have like celebrities on them
make me kind of uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like from like a from like a religious standard. Yeah, no,
I get that. Yeah for sure.
Speaker 7: I was like, this is very sweet.
Speaker 2: It's a little bit.
Speaker 7: I was like, this is very thoughtful.
Speaker 5: But I can't to America for getting a pope.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, guys, white Sox fan.
Speaker 2: Villan Nova so hot right now, right now, Nicks to
and Oh Brunson, Michale, Josh Hart and now Pope Leo
class in nineteen seventy seven Chicago Pope. Yeah, and he's
a white Sox fan. That's crazy.
Speaker 8: Which that's kind of a like, who's a white Sox fan?
He said of a Cubs fan?
Speaker 5: What do you mean the man is not a front runner.
Somebody's got the What did.
Speaker 2: Jesus teach us about hanging out with the poor and
the meek and the whorees and and the lowest of
the low? Like what are you talking about? I if
my pope was a Cubs fan, I would not trust
him at all. If my pope's a Cubs fan. He's corrupt.
The fact that he's a white Sox fans lets me
know that's an actual good man.
Speaker 5: I agree for the underdog.
Speaker 2: Yes, the poor, the destitute, the losers.
Speaker 3: He does not.
Speaker 2: He does not look above them. He goes down to
their level, just like Jesus did. Out of here. You
want to pot a Cubs, you want, you want like
a good like is Alandra. I don't watch the show.
I think you do. Tutors, aren't they like doing Pope stuff?
But they're like super corrupt.
Speaker 7: The cardinal was a little crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So the point is like that's what Taylor wants. He
wants the corrupt, rich guy who's just there for the
power and the status. No, I want the white Sox fan.
Speaker 8: I mean, how much power and status do the Cubs actually.
Speaker 5: Have thought it?
Speaker 8: I mean they don't win that much, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Like it's all very fancy, though the neighborhood around very disnified,
Like it's it's it's it's high flu it's it is
the Pharisees and the Sadducees to the White Sox you know, uh,
prostitutes and and low men. Speaking of the main texteeing
the Bible, the meek shall inherit the earth.
Speaker 3: We had to like.
Speaker 8: Had to like run down to talk and like you know,
put on the little thing to air, like the announcement
or whatever like of the new Pope.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 8: I just think that we could make the announcement a
lot better. What white smoke is the best, it's great.
I'm talking about everything after that because the white smoke
goes and everybody's kind of waiting around, like I think
WWE style entrance, right, everybody has their own entrance.
Speaker 2: I feel like they kind of do do.
Speaker 8: And you just play it. Like if it's like Pope
stone Cold, you hear the glass shattered, everybody's like, oh
f the new popes here, like let's go.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay. The problem is they don't.
Speaker 3: You won't.
Speaker 2: You don't know the Cardinals walk up music, but they
can send a list shattering stone Cold.
Speaker 8: But what you need to do is narrow it down
to a final two be like these are our two guys.
Here's their walkout music.
Speaker 2: Let's go see. I actually think I was actually just
about to comment on how genius the announcement process is,
where it really it builds it up and it's kind
of like the like there were no leaks, right, Like
the first time you knew that he was gonna be
the pope was when they announced it in Latin and
then he walks out, so you get the white smoke.
The crowd's going crazy and you're waiting.
Speaker 3: You're waiting.
Speaker 2: Then they come out and they start to speak in
Latin and then you hear it and then he walked.
I thought it was a really fantastic reveal. I just
think the live stream numbers could be bigger. Off you
go my Twitter. I made a video. Go to my
Twitter and look at the tweet that talks about the
Chicago Pope and play that with sound.
Speaker 4: If you didn't include the Chicago Bulls walkout music, you
did it wrong.
Speaker 2: Let's just let's just a little play my freaking video, Taylor, God,
have you ever been yet at a man by a
man wearing a Mickey Mouse shut No, not just a
Mickey shirt, Donald Donald goofy.
Speaker 7: And even worse?
Speaker 3: All right, here you go here, I don't want your.
Speaker 6: All being so go about you.
Speaker 1: We see being old man named both week the old.
Speaker 3: Name him plus.
Speaker 2: There he is dude, Pope Leo first American pope. Look
at our guy, the Chicago Pope.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 7: Someone sent me one with free Bird playing in the background.
Speaker 2: That's pretty great too. My favorite one, so Adam Schefter.
As soon as the White Smoke brought, Adam Schefter tweeted,
you know, white smoke, and somebody quote tweeted it with
a screenshot of the Cardinals pick is in from the draft,
which was really fantastic, very well done.
Speaker 3: But do do.
Speaker 2: Hope Leo shout out Leo the fourteenth dude? Crazy think
America has a poke.
Speaker 7: I don't really care either way, but I think it's so.
Speaker 2: Like to be a fly on that wall and try
to figure out how in the hell an American nagled
his way to the top I have. I mean we
I hope we get the story one day because it
has got to be fascinating.
Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: Like, it's cool, it's cool that we have an American pope.
I don't really care where the pope's from, but it's
just so funny because he's not like European or something.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 5: I mean, look, we're shocking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We're young country, much younger
than the papacy. Yeah, eventually we're gonna have one. But
it's just again, I like the politics at play and
kind of where America stands right now, kind of how
the world views us. How did he you know, maybe
you know, I'm sure there are other rivals who were
kind of canceling each other out, Like, I don't know,
how did he finagel his way to the top?
Speaker 4: Yeah, your maybe just worked in the shadows, you know,
didn't didn't want a lot of credit, just put his
head down, went to work, got noticed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you hope, So, you know, you hope. So, I
mean it's always the person you kind of want to
lead a lot of times, right, is the one that
doesn't want the power.
Speaker 8: What if you have like cardinals stats though he's young,
what they did is a cardinal you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I mean they're really I mean, yeah, they
have resumes.
Speaker 8: What is a cardinal's resume?
Speaker 2: Look, he's he's he's from when I've read, he's known
from He's been all over the world, done a lot
of good work in South America.
Speaker 8: Yeah, because he's a part Peruvian I believe as well
is he I think?
Speaker 7: So you got to have a little Latin any.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's part of It's fair. I mean, you want
you want somebody with some South American experience. A lot
of Catholics down there, Yeah, a lot of a lot
of a lot of your your your your members. Yeah,
Like what does a pretty baptized seven hundred and fifty babies.
He was a key part of circumcising. I think it
was like twelve thousand. Uh no, that's a lot. Never mind,
Actually that's crazy too many.
Speaker 8: I mean maybe that's that's why he is the one.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to make up pope stats. I'm trying to
make up with cardinals.
Speaker 8: I'm just saying, like, what if the guy shows up
and they're like, Brad, you can't be the pope. All
you do is come to meetings and leave like you
haven't done enough.
Speaker 2: He forgave more sins in January of twenty four or
helped to than any any cardinal in the past ten years.
Speaker 3: That's big.
Speaker 2: It was a hot January because it was South America,
so the seasons are inverted. You know, January summer. Isn't
that weird?
Speaker 7: No, so you know we were, It's not I don't
think it's weird.
Speaker 2: In January it's summer. That's absolutely not on the.
Speaker 7: Other side of the world. That's weird.
Speaker 6: No, it makes sense, Like I feel like it makes
sense that while it's winter here, it's summer somewhere else.
Speaker 2: It makes scientific sense. I suppose it's still weird to
me that it'd be. It's like you watch Blue because
they're from Australia and the Christmas episodes they're like swimming
and barbecue, So are we it's weird?
Speaker 3: True?
Speaker 2: Well here, yeah, here had a couple of cold Christmases
here recently. But yeah, no, I feel you anyway.
Speaker 7: Say when y'all weren't here, I'm going to derail this further.
Speaker 6: Because this was on my mind heavy for like a
whole weekend, right, and I asked Taylor and Jordan, So
you know how gravity brings you to the center of
the earth. Right, we're on the northern hemisphere, so we're
standing up right. Are the people in the southern hemisphere
upside down? From our perspective?
Speaker 2: We're like, okay, I think that from our perspective is key,
because yes, from.
Speaker 7: Our perspective, yea, it would be upside down.
Speaker 2: Even though no mind blowing, well but no, but you
got to think about this. We're talking about a sphere,
so there is no up or down like in space.
We're just in three hundred and sixty degree space. There
is no plane, no upper down, everything's round. Yeah, so
we're not really nobody's up, nobody's down. No, I mean again,
there is no there's no flatness like what you're talking
about requires a constant flat plane. But we're on a
three sixty rock in three D space, so there is
no upper down.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all relative now, it's relative to your perspective.
So yes, I feel like, yes, if you're on the
complete opposit side of the world to our perspective, Yeah,
I think it's fair to say that they're standing upside
down to our perspective.
Speaker 7: So that's why the season's being opposite makes sense to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, look, yes, I think that makes scientific sense.
It's just weird to me to think about January and
December and February being summer. Sometimes it's summer here, Yes,
I mean again, yes, we do run into that some
here actually Lande. If you really want to open up
your mind, look up flatter or not flatter, Look up
doughnut earth.
Speaker 8: Theory that is way dumber than flatter Earth.
Speaker 2: What do you know about the doughnut? You think about
doughnut Earth?
Speaker 7: What's going on?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: So there's a little resume talk. We actually do the
resume talk.
Speaker 5: That's all I was trying to find. I got it,
I got one. What is this sound one?
Speaker 2: It's too long, donutors. No, it's the resume of Hope.
Oh okay, Pope resme Okay, yeah, Well do lsu tiger
resume and post resume when we get back here.
Speaker 5: That's what you're asking for.
Speaker 2: After bench, get Gordon and get it done. It is
we said we want to Pope stats Uh. Gordon, Kurt
Andrew Attorneys there for you when you need him. Go
to Gordon today. I calling him up at two to
five eight eighty eight eighty eight, or Gordon the website,
get Gordon or fall mounts me to act. Get Gordon's
content with a lot of your favorite athletes, members of
the g team. But look, the bottom line, you need
somebody's gonna advocate for you, stand up for you, and
get you what you deserve. You want real results. You
what Gordon mccurtat Injury Attorneys two to eighty eight eight
go to.
Speaker 4: The website today, Get Gordon dot Com where right there

chat with the agent right there on the homepage. You
can ask any question. I'm gonna answer it right there.
But also you can check out past client results cases
they can handle for you in the courtroom things they've
already done here for your neighbors in the greater Baton
Rouge area, actually throughout Louisiana, because as you know, that
is where the g team is.
Speaker 2: So your area code followed by eight eight eighty eight
eighty eight.
Speaker 5: That's get Gordon, get it done.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to more sports talk. What's some other stuff
mixed in off the bench with Hester and Tibob guys.
Speaker 2: Massive news here. Alondra got a text and Jake looked
it up online. But are we looking at a Louisiana
pope here?
Speaker 5: That might be a step too far.
Speaker 7: I don't think he's like from here.
Speaker 5: No hold on, No, his maternal grandparents.
Speaker 4: We're married in eighteen eighty seven at our Lady of
the Sacred Heart Church in New Orleans, so it has
a ton of family members.
Speaker 2: From New Orleans.
Speaker 8: Let's go, dude, Pope Bud.
Speaker 2: Should be really cool. Hope Tivoda, So.
Speaker 7: Here are I think it's a stretch to say he's
like Louisiana or from Louisiana.
Speaker 2: Those I'm gonna take it. If the pope's grandparents are
from New Orleans, like, you can get out of here,
claim it. That's awesome.
Speaker 7: Are they from here? They got married here?
Speaker 2: Does it matter?
Speaker 5: It says that that's where they you know, they lived,
they lived, Yeah.
Speaker 2: They had their families. Okay, Louisiana shout out to all
Louisiana Catholic. That's a big y'all. All right, so we'll
go one LSU Baseball resume point and then one Pope
Leo resume point one for one. Uh LSU baseball currently
has ten Quad one wins with six Quad one games remaining. Yes,
that's right, South Carolina's actually Quad one that's the same,
but road Top fiftieth it is. However, you're ten and
nine overall in Quad one games, and just because how
baseball works, you're likely going to finish around five hundred
in Quad one, and pretty much everybody saved for Texas
that you're competing with is going to finish around five
hundred in Quad one. So that's probably gonna end up
being a bit of a wash. Pope Leo spent over
two decades in Peru, serving as a missionary and a bishop,
pospharing deep connections with local communities and emphasizing pastoral outreach.
He's fluent in multiple languages, so it's a bit of
a polygot, allowing him to connect with a communities all
over the globe, including, like we said, throughout South America.
Else who's currently number eight in RPI. That's great. Don't
want to fall out the top ten. And if you
win two of three this week, like you're going to
finish top eight and RPI, which will matter a lot.
Pope Leo, prior to his election, led the Vatican office
responsible for appointing bishops. See okay, guys, you know, I
don't know if that does anything to do with the cardinals,
but like maybe this is how he's Oh, I remember
when you gave me that appointment. Now I'm gonna vote
for you.
Speaker 8: Well under the cardinals. So I mean a lot of
these but some.
Speaker 2: Of them, some appointed became cardinals, right yeah, uh it said.
It showcases administrative acumen in global perspective. He's also known
for a balanced approach to church governance, aiming a bridge
divides between progressive and conservative factions. Okay, we have a
nice middleman there, LSU baseball the need to stay ahead
of Auburn. Okay, look at the top eight right now.
Who are the locks for a national seat?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was gonna say, like audio answer.
Speaker 4: Yeah in Arkansas, six spots left, Florida State, North Carolina.
Speaker 2: You're locking them up.
Speaker 4: I mean they got a series coming up, so, like
you know that that can change things if if one
of those teams sweeps.
Speaker 5: But I think one of those two teams is.
Speaker 7: At North Carolina probably.
Speaker 3: Yeah, high up.
Speaker 2: Okay, so I'll take both them out, but we'll only
give them one spot for now. So we'll say three
spots are taken, five spots left, and it's what U
g A l s U Auburn, remember Auburn, say hit
over Auburn, Vandy, Oregon State Oregon, Oregon. Yeah, Clemson and
maybe Tennessee they got that's gonna be very tough for them.
Speaker 3: Though.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they had to do something out of their norm
recently to even be in the conversation.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think like these past few weeks have just
been obviously, is that a gnat.
Speaker 7: It it came over here. I'm confused where it's from.
Speaker 2: But you know, Loki once turned himself into a gnat
to uh mess with these Morvin brothers who were trying
to forge gifts for the god because he couldn't have
them winning this competition because they were going to cut
off his head if he did if they won the competition.
Loki also, I know the.
Speaker 7: Gnat came over here too, and it was bothered, and
I was like, where is this coming from? So he
went to you next.
Speaker 2: Did you know that Loki once uh turned into a
horse and then got impregnated by another horse and then
gave birth to Odin's horse, an eight legged horse. That's
pretty bad ass. Imagine horse eight legs.
Speaker 7: No, I can't and I don't.
Speaker 8: Trip over itself. The horse ain't no bigger.
Speaker 2: Maybe what's a giant horse means an Odin horse probably
is anyway, Sorry Lon, what we're saying, No.
Speaker 7: I mean, I was just gonna say, I don't test.
Speaker 6: Tennessee has just not been great the past few weeks,
so their resume is not going to add up to
a top eight national seed.
Speaker 2: Here you go, tete uh pop Leo chose to PayPal
named Leo to honor Pope Leo the thirteenth, signaling a
commitment to Catholic social teaching and the rights of workers.
He's a big advocate for social justice. Like you said,
White Sox fans, it's among the destitute and the poor.
It all says that he's recognized for his compassionate leadership
style and dedication is serving marginalized populations.
Speaker 7: Shout out Pope Leo fourteenth.
Speaker 8: Love Pope, love them, love them, And wonder what names
you're not allowed to have? Taylor, Probably, I mean probably right,
But I'm just thinking, like he's Leo the fourteenth. A
lot of peop chose Leo obviously.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like what names Like first Leo must have
been really good, but yeah, like what names have never been.
Speaker 7: Like one Pope Urban and I don't know if there's
been another one Urban.
Speaker 2: I think there's been a few Urbans. Okay, I'm not
sure that I'm not Catholic.
Speaker 7: That's how I found out Urban Meyer was Catholic.
Speaker 2: That makes sense.
Speaker 5: Yeah, not the best role model.
Speaker 7: That's probably why they stopped.
Speaker 8: They hit Urban. He had some hit some uh Vatican,
he had Vatican issues.
Speaker 2: Okay, guys, Relax. You're acting like you never felt up
an eighteen year old in your bar instead of going
back on the team play. Okay, relax, guys, can't say
everybody makes mistakes.
Speaker 8: You look like you've never kicked your kicker. It probably
it was really wild.
Speaker 2: When he was Jack's head coaching. He did not care
at all at all.
Speaker 8: Whenever you got hired, you know, you're like, okay, is
he gonna be able to make the jump to the league.
He didn't know I was gonna go.
Speaker 2: Nobody thought he was going to be that bad.
Speaker 8: But he last ten games something.
Speaker 4: Like that, like not flying back on the team plane
and then that video coming out absolute just nobody's been
nobody's ever done that.
Speaker 2: Insane behavior. Insane baby like you. He was checked out
from day one.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
Speaker 7: Was he married?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah she forgave that.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 8: Yeah, but it was after a loss. He was upset.
Speaker 3: What you do?
Speaker 2: He's just looking for some solas.
