Speaker 1: All start to you to presents. Off the Bench with
Jacob Hester and t Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and see Bob aber.
Speaker 3: I got to come off the bitch.
Speaker 1: Now here's Jacob Hester and te Bob Abert. Joe.
Speaker 3: What's happening, y'all?
Speaker 2: Welcome to hour number three of OTB.
Speaker 3: I hope everyone's having a good morning thus far. Again,
we've tried not to be a sensitive We've tried to
just be an a skate from some of the brutal
tragedy and realities that have taken place in our beloved
state and city of New Orleans. And we continue to
pray for everybody mentally physically affected and will continue to
do so. Coming up on the final hour of this show,
we'll probably end up previewing the Sugar Bowl a bit
as it's taking place this afternoon. We got Big Dealer,
no big deal real quick right here, we got Mond Jeez,
chef Michael Johnson. It's gonna be a fun clothes. It
feels good to be back with the entire squad setting
our intention for twenty twenty five. To you, what hitting
up that evolved class this morning was.
Speaker 2: A rough one, you know. And it's not like I
didn't do you know, I got a couple, we got
dinner with the Brave, But.
Speaker 3: I mean kind of like a week of not waking
up at four thirty am and getting after it, and
geez dude, I could feel all that pastalia with every
step that I took on that treadmill. I felt like
I was just breathing like a morbidly obese man. But
we made it. The only way to get back is
to push through, so we made it trying to get
back into rhythm here twenty five. Unfortunately too, probably the
guilt free gluttony has to stop today as well, which
sucks because it is so nice during the holiday just
to stuff your face and feel justified in doing so,
like you don't have to feel bad about it.
Speaker 4: I do want to say and point out last time
we did a show together. Who knows when that was,
but you were about to go to an event at
James Bond themed party. Yes, and I want to give
you your flowers. Oh you looked incredible.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: It's a great suit. It's a great tucks. Shout out
Pierce Bespoke. They do a good job. You do a
really good job.
Speaker 2: I look at my boy, Bob, I know it was.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, i'd be lying of it is that
I wasn't happy with the picture as well. Yeah, it's
also the suit that people gave you a lot of,
or it's a different suit, but it's both Pierce bespoke.
It's like the suit that were of the company party.
Me and a lodger took a picture that I think
we both looked very good in and people give me
credit there. I need to call Pierce and look, it's
it's done, certainly. Look, I mean I feel great. I
like my body right now, shout out of all its love.
But but the suit is also let's not pretend like
the suit's not doing work there.
Speaker 4: The suit's great, but I got to look, you're working
your butt off. Shout out to Tea Bob, even though
he's still a pig Baylor.
Speaker 3: Look, you did look right.
Speaker 2: Don't let the joke take away from the fact that
you did look good. You're working hard.
Speaker 4: Fun party, I bet it was. My god, that's a
great name. That's a very game.
Speaker 2: I might steal that.
Speaker 3: Very fun party. And I think we got home to
the babysitter till about two am. Now did everybody else
get home at eleven thirty? No?
Speaker 2: No, this one of the situations where you were there
with the families.
Speaker 3: Not like the Nutcracker cast party, in which I stayed
at these people's houses with until it was the last
one left at like one thirty am.
Speaker 1: No, this was it.
Speaker 3: No, we actually were some of the first to lead
because because we had to get home. This is a
bunch of parents acting, which is always great to see
act in let it loose. You don't get an opportunity often. Yeah,
I agree, I agree. So again, well, I don't know
what the again was I forgot what you're talking about
that you looked great in the suit. No, it's kind
that was the original point.
Speaker 2: You were just talking about how hard it is during
the new year.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, No, it just sucks because I'm sad to
see the the fat ass eating come to an end.
It's been really fun, guilt free to be able to
just eat cookies. Eat another Postliz, like not have do
they intermad fast? Like you want to eat at ten o'clock?
Eat at ten o'clock. Who gives a damn? But now
we're getting back on it, guys, twenty twenty five, back
we're back in rhythm.
Speaker 4: We're getting back on I probably gosh, I was doing
the fasting thing with you for a while because it's
easy for what we do because we get here so
early and by the time you get home you get
things going on.
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, I can delay this.
Speaker 4: A little natural it's a natural rhythm. But I've been
instead of coffee, I've been a little proffee. I put
protein into my coffee, like a fair life protein shape
is the creamer.
Speaker 2: For my coffee. But that probably breaks the fastest. I
I think you're only a lot of black coffee. Ye
if eighty one breaks the fast because I do drink.
Speaker 3: That in the morning. Yah, I'm not sure, so maybe
I'm done.
Speaker 4: I'm not doing it at all, But I don't know, man,
I've really enjoyed. I mean it's you know, it's very
meat haatish, which is on brand. But putting a little
protein into the coffee instead.
Speaker 3: Of makes you need I need some protein in my life,
like I don't drink a protein cheke.
Speaker 2: I should.
Speaker 3: What do you do after your workout?
Speaker 2: Really good?
Speaker 3: What do you have to your work out? I mean,
I don't know, time out, streak, water, you.
Speaker 2: Know, how disappointed Tommy moff it would be no yell
at a lot of you.
Speaker 4: Are wasting everything you just did if you're not replenishing
it with protein.
Speaker 3: I'm leaving a lot on the table. That's actually depressingly, you.
Speaker 4: Would have at least three abs right now instead of
one if you did the thing that I didn't think
you could make me.
Speaker 2: More mad with not having the Starbucks app as you
are right now.
Speaker 3: I still don't have it.
Speaker 2: By the way, Oh god, I'm not going to you
know how many freak you would have free coffee for life.
Speaker 3: So what I've realized in by not being an annoying orderer,
you find your way to some free coffees anyway. I
I I am convinced that because all I all I
have them do is double hot coffee in a cup
and handed to me, and I feel like it is
such a a nice respite for them amidst the cavalcade
of Karen's that are asking for peppermint double mocho octaes
with a half pump of vanilla, not a full pump.
That I mean, my wife has literally made me order
half pumps before.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I'm actually gonna go the other one.
Speaker 5: I think you're stressing them out more by doing that
because so many people order off the wall crap that
they're like, there's no way I heard this guy correctly.
Speaker 3: Well, but he ordered this. I'm getting it wrong. Maybe
if it was random, but I know them all now, okay,
and no, I mean a good portion of times, it's
just like take the coffee.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that makes that does make a lot of sense there.
I mean I tipped Starbucks every time.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 2: I feel bad for you. Yeah, and I know, look,
that's their job.
Speaker 3: Take a dollar on your coffee.
Speaker 4: But to you, I'm talking about like, and people get
so mad if you get it wrong, even though they
have like seventeen steps that they want you to follow.
Speaker 3: The Starbucks is in coffee. It's a smoothie milkshake place.
I mean that's how a lot of people treat it.
Or for for sure. All right, let's do a quick
bigdal or no big deal, big deal, no big deal,

Speaker 2: All right, big dealer, no big deal.
Speaker 3: The Eagles not letting Saquon try to break the all
time rushing record, big deal, huge deal for me. Yeah,
you mean sarcastic again, No.
Speaker 5: No, this is I understand that they said this was
Saquan's decision at the end of the day.
Speaker 3: I don't know how true that is.
Speaker 5: And like, okay, why are you why are you not
letting Saquon play in this game because you want to
rest him for the playoffs?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 5: I think this puts incredible amount of pressure on Nick
Sirianni and the rest of the team.
Speaker 3: You're asked better win the super Bowl. You better go
and win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5: If you don't let Saquon win this rushing record, I
think this puts unnecessary pressure on you.
Speaker 3: The Philadelphia already don't like.
Speaker 2: I think there's already pressure to win the Super Bowl.
I think I look.
Speaker 3: I think Saquon is just respecting the sixteen game season.
He's saying it would be unfair for me to break
a record set in sixteen games in seventeen games, So
I'm not gonna do it.
Speaker 2: No big deal. Good job, Saquon. Proud of you. Also,
should Saqua Barkley be MVP? That's the better question.
Speaker 4: It's certainly fair. There's four guys right now that are
in that conversation. It's one of the better MVP races
that I can remember. Yeah, between Lamar, Josh, Allen, Joe,
and Saquon, I just.
Speaker 3: Kind of want to running back to win it. You know,
it's been so long disrespected. Adrian Peterson last.
Speaker 2: One probably the SEMAC number won one.
Speaker 3: Right, how about Giants fans got to watch Drew Locke
play so well that they lose the number one pick
at the same time that Sakuon Barkley is on the
verge of break NFL Rushie records and leading the Eagles
to division time.
Speaker 5: Not only that, though, Like, here's why it's a big
deal for me. Who do the Eagles play in Week eighteen?
The New York Giants? You let Saquon Barkley break that
record against his former team.
Speaker 3: I don't know why they're not. I don't know there's
something pinky up about not playing him at all, Like, hey,
we don't even have to play our gay Yes, yeah,
ule Peasants, goodbye.
Speaker 4: This is tough for me because you'll know I'm a
meat head now, so I love like, hey, if you've
got a game, go out there and play. But I've
been a part of teams where all of us sat
because we couldn't, you know, better our position, It couldn't
get any worse, we already clinched whatever. So if he
goes out there and he gets hurt, then that's a
whole different conversation it's being had. So if you can't
better your position in.
Speaker 2: The playoffs, that's no big deal.
Speaker 4: Blondre You agree, agree, Yeah, I agree, big dealer, no
big deal. Brian Thomas junior does not make it to
the Pro Bowl squad. I don't know Zay Flowers made it.
Just kind of give you an example of receivers that made.
Speaker 2: It over him.
Speaker 3: That's a big deal.
Speaker 5: We were talking about it, like he set the Jaguars
franchise record. He has a thousand yards as a rookie.
I think, without a doubt, the best rookie wide receiver
in the NFL this year.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't see how you.
Speaker 4: Right now receiving yard and didn't make the Pro Bowl
over you know, other guys that certainly don't have the stats. Again,
it's one of those hey, we're not gonna let the
rookie why. It's even more impressive that he's a rookie
and dominating like he is. Well, it's also impressive that
he's had Trevor Lawrence and Mac Jones as this quarterback
and they're an awful football team. Everybody knows that he's
getting the football and it still doesn't matter. He's got
one thousand and seventy nine yards and.
Speaker 3: Only on eighty catches, so out of the top ten
yardage guys, he's fifth, but justin Jefferson, the only player
of the higher per catch average. Thomas is fourteen point seven,
Jefferson's fourteen point eight. Yeah, it's crazy, big snub. Yeah,
I think that's a big deal.
Speaker 4: Brian Thomas Junior is quietly having an amazing season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he's with the jack Quiet because he's in
Jacksonville unfortunately. Yeah, Okay, big deal or no big deal?
Speaker 2: T Bob picking Baylor over huge huge deal?
Speaker 3: No big deal?
Speaker 2: I mean, no, my real one. Yeah, Carson Wentz.
Speaker 3: He's gonna be playing for the Chiefs versus the Broncos,
which for the Chiefs isn't that big of a deal,
but it could be a big deal for the Broncos,
who need a win to get into the playoffs. I
want this to be a big deal because I want
them to I don't want the Broncos to make the playoffs. Yeah,
I never want any success for those that I feel
burned by. In as much I think, as much as
I have a you know, a lot of thanks to
Sean Payton, I do have a bad taste about how
it all ended. And I don't want him to go
have sis with his new girlfriend, right. I want them
to blow it by losing three games in a row.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Also, Screwbo Knicks, Jade.
Speaker 2: And Daniels Hive Jad five. Yeah, let's go, JD.
Speaker 3: Let's go.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 5: Carson Wentz might actually directly ties to what something Jake
just said. We hadn't talked about it on this show yet,
but when I was doing Hunt show Friday, me and him,
we're talking. Or Monday, me and him, we're talking about it.
Jamar Chays, Justin Jefferson, Cede Lamb, Brian Thomas Junior to
my league neighbors. Okay, all five of those players are
in the top eight in the NFL and receiving yards.
All of them grew up within one hundred and twenty
miles of each other right here in the state of Louisiana.
So the receiver talent in Louisiana a big dealer, No
big deal.
Speaker 2: It's always been a big deal.
Speaker 4: I mean it's been something even when LSU didn't have
a quarterback, he still had receiver talent, right, I mean
you go back to I mean, you can go back
as far as you want, Honestly you can. I mean
even a guy like Josh Reed, who is a running
back at a rain right, and he comes in here
and he's one of the best receivers and sec history
and early d Said and Buster Davis and all these
guys that have been so good Ruben Randall and Jarvis
and Odell like you can go on and on and
on of the great receivers from Louisiana. I think it's
actually the position that Louisiana produces better than anybody in
the country. Seems like it when you look at it.
So I think it's a big deal. Guy is always
going to like DeVonta Smith like.
Speaker 3: Yeaheah.
Speaker 2: I didn't actually know that CD was born.
Speaker 5: After Katrina, he moved to Texas and then he ultimately
played at Oklahoma obviously, but uh yeah, all five of
them with that, So it goes Opoloosas area from CD
down to the New Orleans area. That's the gap, that's
that's the furthest the way the all five of those
guys are all right.
Speaker 3: When we get back, let's talk to our favorite executive
five star chef of course about chef Michael Johnsons going on.
Speaker 4: I had one more yeah, go ahead, Uh, by the way,
to Neil Hunter didn't make the Pro Bowl and he's
third in the NFL and sacks, but big deal, no
big deal. Zach Bond finishes fourth in the NFL with
one hundred and fifty one tackles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, and like every Zach Vond, every Zack
Bond interview that you have read, is him being like, man,
it was a dark time for me in New Orleans.
Like I was depressed. I would cry in the car.
Speaker 4: I had no like guidance. Second in the NFL with
ninety three solo tackles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3: Again, it's weird. Even when Mickey's drafted, well, all too
often they've let those players leave, yeah and go elsewhere.
Speaker 2: All sorry.
Speaker 3: Von Bell was awesome for a minute there. Marcus Williams,
I don't know. It's yeah, not good, all right when
we get back chet Michael Johnson, get your munchies questions

Speaker 3: Off the Bench, No FLA. What's hadding y'all? Welcome back
to OTV and UH right now it is our pleasure
to be joined by the executive chef of Els You

the bench, everybody's favorite segment and his chef, Michael Johnson.
Speaker 2: And this is Monkey's.
Speaker 1: Get ready to tantalyze your taste buds and leave this
segment hungry. This is Monkey's with executive chef Michael Johnson.
Speaker 3: Chef. What's up?
Speaker 6: Brother?
Speaker 2: Happy New Year?
Speaker 3: How was how are the holidays?
Speaker 6: Hey? We're good man. You know, we drove to Missouri
and back, which is like a fourteen and a half
hour truck ride with to get two teenagers and the dogs.
So you know, surviving that is always pleasant.
Speaker 3: What do teens do in the car for fourteen hours? Uh?
Speaker 6: Mostly sleep? Yeah, you know the dog is more interactive
with me than my teens are in the car.
Speaker 3: Just in life. Yeah, sag munchies. I'm making risotta tonight, chef.
Speaker 2: Any tips?
Speaker 6: Yeah, So you know risotto people like to add a
lot of liquid and try to stir it in, and
that's you know, that's not how you make risotto. That
you know that you have to have your your temp
relatively low, constantly stirring. That's it's a it's a mixture
of trying to cream the risotto that the starch out
of the rice and get that out into the liquid,
the liquid into the right the grain right and and
not evaporate out. And you know when you're when you
put it into a broad pan and you turn up
to heat too much and a simmering, you're losing liquid
out by evaporation than you are into absorption. And so
you know, not only that, you don't want it to
absorb too quickly because then you don't get the creaminess
of the starch in the in the dish. And so
that's the beauty of risotta, right, So you got to
take your time, keep it moving, you know, put in
a flat up this is I have a risotto spoon.
It's a flat, flat, edged wooden so I think it's
bamboo spoon. I think I have like three of them.
Actually that's how much I like risotta. Yeah, yeah, So
take your time, make sure you're scraping the bottom of
the pan so that the so that the grains aren't sticking,
and keep it stirring.
Speaker 3: Hashtag munchies. What was on Chef's New Year Day menu?
Speaker 6: We had some I actually cooked on New Year's Day,
we had some fried speckled trout that my brother gave
my dad and had up in the freezer. And a
couple of years ago I went up saclet fishing with
a buddy of mine in Missouri for Mother's Day. I
stopped at his place the day before Mother's Day and
caught some saclee and took it, took up. So we
kind of liked to, you know, do fish fries on
on on occasions and special occasions, and so you know,
I cooked and you know, let my old man rest
and he cooked all he cooked all Christmas throughout. So
it was kind of one of those days where where
you know, son gets to step in and cook in
the kitchen. And we had the family. You know, there's
probably sixteen people in the house.
Speaker 2: So no no cabbage, no black eyed peas for your chef.
Speaker 6: No, you know, we ate ham. But my dad, my
dad cooked a hand that was enough to feed probably
thirty people. On Christmas Day. We were we were we
were over the the uh you know, kind of the
traditionals for a little while.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my wife at about nine to thirty last night,
bums some cabbage and black eyed peas from the neighbor,
just so we could both take and bite of it
to fight off all of our superstititions that before.
Speaker 2: Or after you dumped the trash in their trash cans.
That was before, Okay, it was before?
Speaker 3: All right? Yeah, did you hear about this? Chef? I
missed the Christmas pickup day? Oh so last night I
was scurrying around to my neighbors cans that were already
on the street and dumping extra bags in there, like
just a true degenerate.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, man, that's next level right there. You gotta do, bro,
you know, I mean the fear of trash backing up
in the house. Man, that's real, brother, it is real.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure you know better meybody having ideo
with like restaurant trash.
Speaker 6: Oh man, you can't mess around like that. Man.
Speaker 3: The I did learn how to make an over easy
egg yesterday.
Speaker 6: There you go.
Speaker 2: I had.
Speaker 3: I had a weird thing where I woke up. I
was like, man, no want to you know, like, it
can't be that hard, just sure enough, look a couple,
look up a couple of YouTube videos and maybe did
a lazy Man's way, chef, because I don't flip it,
But what I ended up doing. Know, you have about
a tablespoon of grease cracked the egg right there on
to it, I used bay and grease and uh and
then and then this is the part that I thought
was interesting, A tablespoon of water around the egg, then
cover it up so it steams it up, cooks the
egg white, and then the yolk was runny. I was
very happy with it. I'm pumping now I can make easy.
Speaker 6: Yeah that's for people who can't flip an egg.
Speaker 3: Relaxed guy. Okay, maybe i'll get how do you make
your over easy egg?
Speaker 6: Well, one, you know, you got to start with a
good and fresh egg, and you don't want to you
don't want to. You don't want to drop the egg
from too far. You got to like rest the egg
and your skillet or on the flat top or whatever
so it doesn't the albumen doesn't. Uh, if it's not
a high quality egg or it's an old egg, the
albumen will split, will like spread out.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, what's them?
Speaker 6: That's the white? Okay, right, okay, yeah, so you want
that white to hold steady in a in a circle
versus you know, if it's if it's an older egg,
it kind of gets water and will spread out a
bit and it makes it a lot more difficult to
turn the egg when it's when it when you look
at it and it's holding its shape and like a circle.
It takes a little bit longer to cook, but it's
going to set up firmer, right, and what what the
steam is doing is cooking it from both sides. You
understand that. But if you cook it a little bit slower,
a little bit lower, and that the album set and
then turn it over really quickly, you know that that
the stick of that albumen is the less likely it
is to tear apart. And it doesn't I mean you
don't have to take it over. You don't have to
turn it over, but for like maybe maybe thirty seconds and.
Speaker 3: Break when you flip it onto the yolk.
Speaker 6: Though, so well, that's that's the beauty of it, you know,
like the albumen is holding it in place, you know
as as it's cooking that you want that circle. If
that's the that's the the idea behind it having a
fresh egg is there should be a relatively even sept
you know, like even amount of albumen around the yolk.
Speaker 3: M Well, thank you for shaming me. Chef, I thought, my.
Speaker 6: Friend, I'm sure it turned out hashtag. But you know, yeah,
that's another thing you can do if you have if
you have oil in your pan, you can ladle the
oil over the top of the yolk just before you
flip it, and it kind of gives it a little
bit of so.
Speaker 3: To be fair, the best like the highest ranking video
that I watched, you watch three and the like actual
like big time chef one, that's what he did. He
had some butter in there that he was ladling onto
the white and I thought, oh my god, that looks incredible.
Speaker 6: Yeah, on the top as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's that's a little bit more respectful when you're getting
into the hot grease. You know, it's just using sam
I'm just kidding, Bob.
Speaker 2: Well, dude, I.
Speaker 3: Can fry an egg now with dipping the I can
finally make dipping the bread eggs. Let's go. You just
poach the egg, you know, and you just poach eggs
are fine too, But even then I don't really poach it.
Speaker 4: I have a cheap like poaching pan. Yeah, cupsle disc am.
I am I in the minority here where I just
like scrambled eggs better.
Speaker 2: I I think scriminals are good, but not my favorite chef.
Speaker 4: You know, you know the best meathead technique for scrambled
eggs and still a little cottage cheese in there.
Speaker 6: Really?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you should try.
Speaker 6: We have to try this. I love cottage cheese.
Speaker 4: I do too, and I'm like, how can I get
like the maximum amount of protein in these eggs?
Speaker 2: And you know, sometimes you can throw cheese in there, obviously,
but it's like none almost have.
Speaker 4: A little bit healthier, a little bit higher protein cottage
cheese and eggs.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you to go to.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna try this. You know, like I put sour
cream in my eggs and keeps them from going green.
Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of kind of the same. The same thing
with cottage cheese a little bit.
Speaker 4: But again you're trying to maximize the protein here, chef
we got you know, it's a new Year, New Mek
kind of deal.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna try it.
Speaker 3: Let's see how you answered this one smart guy jav
says hashtag mund cheese. He mentions that he I'm not
gonna read exactly how I wrote it, but he mentions
that he has been on the fast that you were
on chef and he seems to be using the bathroom constantly.
He wants to know how long were you stuck in
the turlet?
Speaker 6: Well, you know, you increase your fiber. That's that's you know,
like you're reducing your protein increasing your fiber. It's just
an outcome. So without sharing too much about my bowels,
I'll just say that, you know, it's a thing you
have to get used to.
Speaker 3: You uh, jag munchies, whaters they're making homemade pizzas. Any
advice or tips about making the dough.
Speaker 6: Yeah, just don't overwork it. You know, it gets tough
when you get your dough set, you know, let it,
let it, let it stay. A lot of people will
will overwork their dough and it gets it gets tough
and stretchy. And when it cooks, it like you know,
stretches up, like you know, it seizes up or kind
of it's you know, in the in the world of
stretchy dough, it's kind of elastic. And if you if
you overwork it, you know, it like pulls, pulls together
and gets smaller. And so a little olive oil in
it too, yeah, helps helps, It helps relax the dough.
Speaker 2: See Bob were you asking that question for yourself?
Speaker 3: No those Scott, No, no, no, no. I went through
I went through my pizza phase.
Speaker 2: Using the I meant the restroom question.
Speaker 3: No, no, I'm not. I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2: He is asking the toilet question for fe No, no, no.
Speaker 3: Hashtag mudgies. Is beef tallow the way to go when
frying things?
Speaker 6: I mean, it's it's it's it's there, it's usable. I
don't use it. I actually like coconut oil a little
bit to beef tallow. But beef two it tastes good, man.
I mean, it's it's rich, it's uh, you know, it's
on the realm of healthiness. It's you know, like in
the middle, in the middle, I think. But it certainly
tastes good. And if you're trying to impress people with flavor,
it's a it's a viable solution for sure. You know,
fats that come off of animals typically have lower smoke points,
and so you have to be careful of that. You know,
like you really, if you're not going to get the
high tolerance for for frying something that you say that
you will out of beef tallow talow because it's been
rendered out. Is a little bit better, but it tastes good.
Speaker 3: Man, are you usus chev remimy? What is the best
fat in your opinion to coat your cast iron with?
Speaker 6: You can use talo for sure. Bacon fat is one
of the things. Is another thing, but you know, like
it just depends on It depends on what you're shooting for.
If you're shooting for flavor or or if you're shooting
for nonstick. You know, like coconut oil. Any any saturated
fat or any fat that's gonna sit solid at room
temperature is going to work really well. Okay, but you
know tallow and and bacon fat both work exceptionally well
if you're a meat eater. If if not, I would
go to coconut oil.

Speaker 2: I mean, pin.
Speaker 3: Soul, no Stockholm syndrome aloud. Let's do a little ta
te NFL Story of the Day Day.
Speaker 1: It's time for Dayday's NFL Story of the Day Day,
your daily dose of NFL news from Taylor.
Speaker 3: Sharp Hey tell.
Speaker 5: Pro Bowl rosters were announced yesterday for AFC and NFC.
Hell yeah, which y'all think is the most talented team
in the NFL?
Speaker 2: The Lions, Well, it's because still still fan votes.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Yes, I know it's a bit of a mixture, but
it's horse hockey. But that's just I feel like Taylor's
got still Cowboys I got.
Speaker 5: But I feel like Baltimore Ravens lead the way with
nine Pro Bowl selections this year. That is like almost
half of the AFC roster. I mean, the FC rosters
like twenty five guys and they got nine of them. So, uh,
the Ravens are up there. The New Orleans Saints, for
what it is worth, did not have a single player
on the Pro Bowl roster.
Speaker 3: Damn, I know, believe it or not. Teach shocked, No, he.
Speaker 5: Well, he was the coach, but they said you have
to be an active coach, so they he did get
replaced there he wasn't going to be uh the NFC
had well now they choose like retired players, don't like the.
Speaker 2: Mannings do it.
Speaker 3: The Mannings doing was coaching. He did it. And they
had like a receiver on the other side, if you
were to have one, there's no one Taysom Hill. Taysom Hill,
if he had remained healthy, could have been.
Speaker 4: But no, I do like the Saints have been bad, bad, right,
But shout out to Foster Morrow. Had had a big
game against his former team, and I have to imagine
that felt really good. He's played pretty well down the
stretch as well. So I'm gonna get from love to
to one to eight down there in New Orleans because
he had a good game against the Raiders and he's
actually played pretty well here down the stretch And that's
the only positive thing I can take. And Clyde Clyde
actually had a couple of nice touches. Kendre Miller did
oh did he really?
Speaker 2: Yeah? He had a couple of nice touches.
Speaker 5: Three quarterbacks got selected a f C, NFC, AFC is easy.
It was Josh Allen, Joel Burro, Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3: We got that. That makes sense. The NFC, Sam Donald,
he made it for his first time. Jared Goff, good
on Sam Darnald, Dude, how valiating is that to be
a Pro Bowl quarterback?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, he's talking to the Jets. I got two
words for you.
Speaker 3: All right. Let me guess who the third NFC quarterback
Pro Bowl? I mean, for some reason, Matt Stafford pops
Hi ahead of someone who would be a well, say,
he's had a good year, Baker's had a good year.
I mean, all these guys have.
Speaker 2: You're obviously upset about. You're upset by Dad Prescott.
Speaker 3: I am not a Let me think about this.
Speaker 2: Jordan Love No.
Speaker 3: Why Jade and Daniels?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah selected uh in the Pro Bowl as the rookie.
So it's a Daniels golf and Donald.
Speaker 2: Sam's in out here fighting for.
Speaker 3: Years to get here. And Jaydon's like, all right, oh
it's easy? Is the NFL? Is it one four in
a row? We're not gonna make the playoffs and Pro Bowl? Okay?
Speaker 1: Cool?
Speaker 2: How about how cool was it? Did you see you.
Speaker 4: Who had had some mad house conversations earlier this week.
Cool video Marcus Mariota. When Jade takes that big hit
at the end of the game and he goes over
you can tell he's hurting, he's tired or whatever. He's
just like, hey, oh the one where he's like, make
a debreath, stand up, go use your god given ability
and go win the game.
Speaker 2: That's what he does.
Speaker 4: Pretty good moment from a veteran backup quarterback who's been
I mean a number two overall pick, just like Jaden
right right, he was number two, right, yes, and you know,
going over there, and that's that's why you signed like
a veteran backup like that for like little moments like
that and game prep and and all that leading into
the game as well, and if he's got to go obviously,
but in those moments to go have that and to
know like, hey, let me go help my guy. He
needs a little word of encouragement here. He needs some
VET leadership. That was pretty cool from Marcus Mariota.
Speaker 5: You know what was I was thinking about this the
other day watching the Commanders take down the Falcons, and
that that great over time game and each person can
have their own opinion to Jaden Daniels, Like, what is
your favorite part of his game? In my opinion, Jadeen
Daniels's best attribute in his game, whether they're down by twenty,
whether they're up by twenty, whether it is the biggest
moment of his life. The emotion of jade and Daniels
never changes, Yes, smiling, he is always even keel right
where he needs to be. He's never two highes, never
too low. And you've seen the come from behind victories.
I mean you saw the Hail Mary earlier this year
to beat the Bears. You saw the gotta have it
playoff clinching overtime win against the Falcons. Like the moment
is never too big for Jayden and Daniels, and we
saw it last season at LSU. But you're like, Okay,
he's a fifth year guy, like he's been there, done that.
He's doing this as a rookie in the NFL. I mean,
the guy's emotions never changed.
Speaker 3: Awesome, awesome to see. And you all are also bringing
out with us today. We got one more segment left,
so let's come back. We'll ask the bench, get your
questions in moro ODB roster bench.

I want to say I had one kid at the time,
and she might have been like two, maybe a little
under two the first time we ever went.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I know some people are like, oh,
well they're not I'm gonna remember, and that's fair.
Speaker 3: Like again, I'm in a unique position where because of
my in laws I am not. I do not have
the financial burden that these trips normally cost. So I
don't fault you if you're like I want them to
remember it. But if you can swing it, you know,
and you like seeing your kid happy and having fun,
it is really fun even if they're that young. Also, Karen,

about your chest and a little like, oh, it's the
best thing in the world.
