Speaker 1: I'll start Toyota Presents off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Say Hester and Hester got it fata from.
Speaker 1: Carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each other
on the.
Speaker 3: Air where there's prop control.
Speaker 1: Live from downtown Vaton Rouge.
Speaker 4: It's off the bench, Welcome back in I Renumber three
O T B. Hester and Flynn here on location our
three Wow pro Dreams pro Dash Dreams dot Com. Does
Trey know that since we are doing the show here,
we get to pick out one piece of memorabilia that
we get to just walk out with.
Speaker 5: No, he doesn't know that yet. He'll figure that out
when he s does inventory.
Speaker 4: In inventory, he sees me loading it in the car.
I'll next week at a Conseco Jersey.
Speaker 3: We show up.
Speaker 4: He's like, Hey, that Larry Bird jersey I'm missing. Are
you wearing that? You're gonna steal it? At least steal
it right?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I thoughts, So, what.
Speaker 5: Would you take if you had to take something in here?
Because there's a lot of you know, you could go, oh,
I see it, I see what I got.
Speaker 4: I think I would go the techmobile bo Jackson with
the old school Nintendo controller inside of the frame.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: See, we started talking about taking stuff and Trey walked
out of his office.
Speaker 3: Excuse me what?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Trey, what's up? If you see us in
a Jose Canseco jersey next week, didn't get it from you.
You didn't know that was part of the deal that
we get to wear one of the jerseys every week.
I'm looking at this autographed Saved by the Bell tank
top back. Wait a minute, who's signed that? Tray Zach Morris,
that's you, Yeah, that's me. I mean we've done two
hour shows where we've talked just about Saved by the
Bell before. Yeah, there's a tank top o there on
a little half torso mannequin. Yeah, and Jesse, Zach Morris
and Jesse Wow, Jesse Spano Spannah For some reason, I
went Jesse cassopos there and that's from full House. It's
on me, Jesse Spanna. Yeah, I mean you can go
back in the archives. We did a two hour show
where I'm pretty sure we talked about Saved by the
Bell for about an hour and forty minutes of the show.
Speaker 3: YEP on six D Radio.
Speaker 5: When Jesse got addictioned to those caffeine pills, really changed
kids' lives.
Speaker 3: It did. She's so excited. So she's so scared, too scared.
Those caffeine pills can get you every single time.
Speaker 4: All Right, we are gonna we are gonna have chef
Michael Johnson join us in about fifteen minutes from now.
Speaker 3: I do want to ask here, what.
Speaker 4: Maybe is the most intriguing thing this week in college
football for you?
Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be a game. It can be
a storyline.
Speaker 4: It can be based off what happened in week one,
because I know a lot of people can be like
eye hustling Alabama even though they're playing Louisiana Monroe, Like
how do they come out? Like how do they react
to what happened to them in week number one? How
do teams handle success? Because like, for the most part,
like the teams that had success, they got to lay
up this week. Ohio State's playing Grandlin l She's playing
Louisiana Tech, Florida's Florida's playing with who'd you say?
Speaker 3: East Texas?
Speaker 5: East Texas A and m sure and Commerce Commerce.
Speaker 4: We all knows, idiots obvious that your big dummies, big
dummies the Tennessee who had a great Week one. They
played East Tennessee State, and so you know, for all
these teams that had like, you know, some pretty big victories,
like they don't really have a tough test, but there's
still things like you can look like Texas playing San
Jose State, so like it's a great opportunity for them
to bounce back. But of like all the things going
on in college football.
Speaker 3: Where are you at?
Speaker 5: So I'm looking, I'm trying to look at the slate
here and what is intriguing to me. One of the
bigger matchups and one of the good matchups that we
think is going to happen this week is to see
how Baylor bounces back. They're going and playing at number
seventeen SMU to see.
Speaker 3: How they see what that game is like?
Speaker 5: Is is Auburn better than we thought they were?
Speaker 3: Did they play well?
Speaker 5: Of course, Baylor losing a home opener versus an SEC opponent, Well,
you were high on Baylor. We thought they were very
good offensive, we thought they're how do they bounce back?
That's going to be an intriguing one for us to watch.
But just curiosity and hopefulness about the SEC quarterback landscape.
How does John Matteer, how his his improvement because he is,
like we have said, he is this guy that the sky.
Speaker 3: Could be the limit.
Speaker 5: Is the Oklahoma offense going to be back to where
it was when they were winning heismans after highs and
putting up sixty points a game? Last year they took
a big, big, big step back. They took like ten
steps back offensively, So can they get back to that?
I think Jeometier has some potential, has that electricity like
I just want to see and I can't wait till
he gets more into the sec play. But this is
a good test for him. How is he going to
fit in with the Oklahoma offense? Are they going.
Speaker 4: To be able to spread it out enough, move the
ball enough, create big plays which they were just not
able to do a year ago when they were.
Speaker 3: Still like that. I like johnme Tier.
Speaker 4: I think he is a combination of Matt Flynn and
Baker Mayfield. When I met him, and if you ever
meet him, you'll know exactly.
Speaker 3: What I'm talking about.
Speaker 4: I'm rooting for that guy until LSU plays them basically
like I just he's an easy guy to root for.
So that's a good storyline. Rock Obeck and Iowa State,
like if they go out there and they kind of
handle Iowa. I think that's a very impressive win and
may be three and zero, and I think they would
be a real play to win the Big Twelve if
they go out there and do that, even though I
know I was not in the Big Twelve, but that's
a rivalry game you play every single year. You would
have a win over Kansas State, a win over Iowa,
it'd be one of the better resumes in college football.
But another game that nobody's really talking about that I
think is going to be a good game is Illinois
and Duke. That game is at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham.
Duke is a football team that is good enough to
beat anybody really on their schedule. Not saying they're going
to by any means, but they certainly are good enough.
Many Diaz is somebody who's going to be uber aggressive
on defense. And you got Minta coming over from Tulane
to be your quarterback, and they got some real juice
to them. And Illinois is a team that a lot
of people are putting as the last Big Ten team
in the College Football playoff, and when you look at
their schedule, they have got these are their home games
all right. Their home games are USC, Ohio State, Rutgers, Maryland, Northwestern, Right,
so your toughest game, Ohio State is going to be
at home. Now for them, they got to be good
on the road if they want to fulfill that prophecy
of them being in the College Football Playoff because they
could lose to Ohio State at home.
Speaker 3: You win your road games, you're in.
Speaker 4: So the road games are at Duke, at Indiana, at Purdue,
at Washington, at Wisconsin.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 4: So there's some tricky ones in there, but this one
feels like one that they have to have. They can't
lose this one and make it to the College Football playoffs.
So you were in must win mode in week number
two on the road against a team that is good
enough to beat you. Right now, Illinois only a three
and a half point favorite. So I want to see
old Bee Lama. I want to see Luke Altmeyer, who
I picked I picked to be the Big Ten preseason
offensive player of the year.
Speaker 3: I think he's going to have every opportunity to do so.
Speaker 4: I think he is going to have you passing yards,
rushing yards, passing touchdowns, rushing touchdowns, and so I was
high on Illinois. But this is one of those games
where if you have step into it on the road,
Duke is good enough to beat you. So like that's
a game that it's not ranked on rank, but it
very easily could be.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean this is I mean, if we're pulling
out an Illinois versus Duke game as one of the
highlights this week, you know it's down week.
Speaker 3: I know. See, I knew you were going to say that.
I'm just telling you, I get it. Illinois good.
Speaker 5: Illinois is good. But I'm telling you Duke is not
bad either. Okay, I know they beat they whipped up
on Elon last week.
Speaker 4: I mean, but remember, like, I mean the thing I know, listen,
I know everything you're about to say.
Speaker 3: Gave us seventy eight points.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 4: But they're a good football team, and this is a
test for Illinois.
Speaker 3: If Illinois goes.
Speaker 4: Out there and beats them by twenty eight points, I
think I'm just saying that's okay. Notice that, because that
means Illinois is going to be in it for the
long can come got it? Where get all their good players?
Uh transferred portal? Yeah, two lane, I'm all in Blue Devils.
Let's go football.
Speaker 3: School.
Speaker 4: And it did be Clemson in the opener a couple
of years ago.
Speaker 3: We could say we did that too. Now, yeah, we
did that too.
Speaker 4: Whipped them with the sixty two grade too. Could have
had a good game in Baylor SMU, but sick them
didn't do their job.
Speaker 5: Oh no, that would have been electric too, Yeah. Did
a game day would have been in Dallas. Where is
game day this week there at Oklahoma? Oh yeah, uh yeah,
it's only ring game.
Speaker 3: Uh they have gone. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 4: If Florida puts it on South Florida, Oh hello, you
could be looking at game day right across the street
here bo.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe set up right here out right outside of
Pro Dreams. And why not just do it right there
in the parking lot. Yeah, probably can do it on
the preyground.
Speaker 3: But it's giving you a secondary location. If we are
at ESPN affiliate.
Speaker 4: So so week three, Week three in college football, I'll
give you some of the games that could be up
for the same conversation. You've got Vanderbilt in South Carolina
in Columbia. You have got Clemson in Georgia, Tech in Atlanta,
they're Bobby Dodd Stadium. You have Wisconsin and Alabama. No,
I don't think that one. You do have Georgia Tennessee. Okay, well,
speaking of this week though, let's stick with it. There
is an SEC matchup. Were you not intrigued at all
by Ole Miss hitting the road and going and taking
on Kentucky we talked about a little bit nowur number one,
you were probably spaced out looking at all the cool
stuff here in prodrens.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of a lot of shiny objects here.
Speaker 4: Look, Kentucky did beat Ole Miss last year. That game
was in Oxford too. I just I don't know that
Kentucky and last year they were bad too, and they
found a way, but they just Look. I picked Toledo
to cover for a reason last week and they did.
I just don't know what Kentucky can give you.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 4: It's only a nine and a half point spread in
favor of Old Miss, so you know, nobody's really expecting
a blowout. But I just I don't know that Kentucky
right now is in a polution champion Friends of Year
makes them all right with my Kentucky, whether you're Kentucky, yeah,
that's not going to do it. Look, oh poops, he's
just he's done. I think he's gone after this year.
Speaker 3: I don't know why you and Ti Bob could not
understand this, all right.
Speaker 4: I just I picked teams that I think are undervalued
before the season, and I talk about them because I
think they deserve to get more love. Kentucky just so
happened to be that team for multiple, multiple years.
Speaker 3: That's right now, it's now. Now it's Missouri.
Speaker 5: Oh, I give you cheer for a team, and I'm
not even saying you're you're gonna be like, oh, I
wouldn't cheering for him. I was just like, I was
just being a sports guy. Uh national sports dude. Well,
if you do that enough, you're a fan. At some
point it turns into.
Speaker 4: Oh, I look, okay, I've got no issue full disclosure.
If Mark Stops is playing somebody and it's not one
of the teams that.
Speaker 3: I care for, absolutely I would hope they win. That's fine.
Speaker 4: I've got a relationship with Shops, just like I got
a relationship with Eli Drinkwitz, and if Drink's not playing
l s U, I wouldn't hate it if Missouri won.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not rooting for him, but I'm like, oh,
that's cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of root against Missouri because you don't
think they're in the SEA. I don't. I don't think
they should be. It's kind of a week a week
everything go ahead week name week state.
Speaker 3: Week name. How's it a week name Missouri? Week? State?
How's it a week? States to show state?
Speaker 4: Just uh yeah, show me, show me, show your way
out the SEC.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you have nothing to back that takeout?
Speaker 4: No, I don't. It's just a feeling. Can you explain
feelings sometimes?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 5: I just it's it's something. I it's a hill. I
decided to die a long time ago. When they first joined.
I just didn't think they needed to be in the SEC.
So I'm just gonna stick with it. Mm hmm sure.
Speaker 4: Teapal says old miss to cover is free money. Gotta
know it feels like it, doesn't it. What is this
from nine and a half in favor of old miss
the revs? Yeah, uh, Daniel says Flynn saying Missouri isn't
in the SEC is a Grandpa Simpson take.
Speaker 3: It's fine. That is fine.
Speaker 4: I don't disagree with you either. Self awareness is uh
elandra blank space Villa Reale. Inside the Bydo four chat,
they don't need to be in the SEC. They're in
the Midwest.
Speaker 5: Then go see there you go, Landra gets it. Thank you,
Elandra Foxhall, Jake's not making fun of me.
Speaker 3: From old man shout out to Ryan Wooldridge.
Speaker 4: Inside the by four chat, he gives us a two
dollars super chat and asks the question, Hi, bro, what
NFL team should I pick for Survivor board? You already
gave that out Eagles Eagles. So we're doing the first
game right out of the gate to.
Speaker 5: The gate, so like we're doing an OTB Survivor. We're
going to see how long the foxhold Camega will decide.
We'll figure out which member is going to give the
pick next week.
Speaker 4: But since you know, it was kind of my I
thought of this while using the restroom during a break,
that we should do this. We uh, we did it,
and I gave the first pick, and yes, okay, a
little bit of a cop out, I got it. It's
what are they eight and a half point favorites, which
is a very large number in the NFL.
Speaker 3: But I just think, you.
Speaker 4: Know, it's like a it's like a seventeen and a
half point spread.
Speaker 3: And cop pretty much.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's ridiculous, and I just think that
go with what you know. We don't know anything about
these teams right now.
Speaker 3: Go let you know. I know the Eagles are really good.
Speaker 4: They got the best one of the best rosters, if
not the best roster in the NFL.
Speaker 3: And I think they cowboys as much.
Speaker 5: As they're going to say all the right things and
do all the right things publicly, I think they're just
so much noise around that program. There is just so
much drama that has been self created. Nobody asked them
to do all this. Their owner did. Jerry Jones asked
for this. He has done this to himself. I just
think it's a pretty simple pick on this one. I
hate to pick the best team in the NFL the
first week too. It's a little bit of a cop out.
But it's week one. We really don't know anything.
Speaker 4: We can watch these teams and maybe next week we'll
pick the Panthers or pick the Saints or whatever it is,
and we'll get a little bit more creative, little move,
more juicy. But it's week one, all right. Cajun curveball
into the body four chat bad week for OTB Squad.
Three of the five last shows got pulled off YouTube.
Speaker 3: Who's holding us down? That feels like they got pulled
off YouTube? Yeah, and I'm just gonna get him back on.
Speaker 4: She's a fixer, probably probably because like the other shows
are like, hey, whoa, guys say something for the rest of.
Speaker 3: Us, save something to say some views.
Speaker 4: Let's take those down so you know they don't have
the same amount.
Speaker 3: Maybe too many people were smashing that like button, I
think that's what it was. These views are making the
rest of us kind of look bad down below, down below,
So that's what that is.
Speaker 4: Smash the wife, uh look at Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: We'll get those back on there. I don't know why.
Why are they taking down trying to hold us down?
You can't do that. He can't do that, So we'll
figure that out. It's okay, all right.
Speaker 4: We do have chef Michael Johnson joining us coming up
here in this next segment. Also, high school football does
start tonight.
Speaker 3: Let's go cubs.

was a great point yesterday.
Speaker 3: One of the few he's made.
Speaker 4: If you want a kidney shaped that's your things. Always
wanted a kidney shaped pool in my backyard, they can

bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 4: Welcome, Welcome, yo yo, cro dreamss is where we're at.
Speaker 3: Before we get to our guys.
Speaker 4: Chef Michael Johnson shout out to Carly and Side to
buy you four chat. She asked, did she start JD
five or Joe Burrow in Fantasy Week number one? So
JD five going against the Giants at home, I believe,
and then Joe is going against Cleveland away the cleve.
I'm going JD five. I'm going JD five. I'm gonna
go there as well being at home. And then you
get the you know, the dual threat possibilities in Cleveland's
actually got a pretty decent defense. And you never quite
know how the wind in that stadium is going to be.
I mean it can be no matter what time of
the day, time of the year, like the wind it's
a wind tunnel, and you never quite know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you never know.
Speaker 5: And then I talk all the time about that year
one to two jump, I mean good what means good?
Speaker 3: Lord?
Speaker 5: If JD makes a you're one to two jump, what
can he be? So I just looked for him to
improve and get better from a historically amazing rookie season.
Speaker 3: I think that kid is special.
Speaker 5: I think his mental makeup and certainly his genetic makeup,
but his mental makeup is is very special and different
and could continue on him a very fast paced trajectory.
Speaker 4: All right, let's get to our guys, Chef Michael Johnson,
who joins us now to answer your munchie question, Chef,
what's going on?
Speaker 3: Brother? How are we doing? How we living?
Speaker 6: More of them? Good guys? You know, I gotta I
gotta say the fact that she has to make a
decision between those two.
Speaker 3: Incredible, Yeah, Nick kidding?
Speaker 4: Like holy holy fantasy football draft, Carly, like say something
for everybody else.
Speaker 3: My gosh, it's a great choice to be able to.
Speaker 4: Have no running backs. Probably that's all right, right, Sorry,
that's why you go JD five. He's gonna get you
the rushing person. So uh, chef man, it's always our pleasure,
But we gotta we gotta go back before we get
to the munchy questions. How about last week Clemson South Carolina.
Speaker 3: I have to imagine the.
Speaker 4: Vibes have been at an elite level this week with
the team.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, man. Uh you know, obviously the guys come back
feeling good about that. Man. I I uh just love
being a part of it.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 6: To see these guys come home up with the number
one way like that, to get the team of that magnitude. Man,
it always feels good. But you know by Thursday, they're refocused.
You know, you don't. You don't reel in it for
too long. You gotta stay focused on what you do.
So that's and that's what I love about the team.
You know, like they they're real in it for a
while and then they then they refocus and understand that
there's more more to do, and there's lots more to do.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 6: You know I said at last Thursday, I think a
lot of people are going to be surprised by this team,
and I'm standing by those words.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't think it's going to be a surprise
anymore after the informers they put on. So I want
to ask you, So I was on a couple of
the teams that I had the privilege to be on
throughout my football career. When you had a big win,
you had kind of like a victory meal, so you
got you got a little bit extra.
Speaker 5: Maybe it was a file at instead of a curl on.
Maybe it was just a little bit something extra. And
if you lost, of course you'd probably get your hamburger helpers.
But like, do y'all do anything special for big wins,
you know, like we have in the past, We are
not currently doing that.
Speaker 6: We're just making sure that the guys we kind of
found that, you know, when you serve lots of tales
and crab legs, it's not exactly the comfortable menu that
they're looking for. And what we're looking to do is
make sure that they're going to eat well on Sunday
because it's more importantly the victory. It's a recovery meal, right,
they need to they need their bodies of recovery to
get to recover, to go into money, and it's a
super important meal. So we see we have kind of
dialed back away from the high dollar fancy meals and
gone more to a Southern comfort something that they're gonna
you know, make sure that they're gonna eat right, you know,
lots of comfortable foods, and it seems to be going better.
Speaker 3: Yet hashtag munchies.
Speaker 4: My wife and I need a ruling on the age
old question. In a dishwasher, do utensils point up?
Speaker 6: That's a good.
Speaker 3: Question, great question.
Speaker 6: I mind point up. The handles go down with the
exception of the knives because I don't want to reach
into my dishwasher and you know, take off any falangies,
so my knives go down, my forks and spins go Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think that's how I do it. My wife, Yeah,
I listen and think you do it. You never do
the dishes, and she'd probably be right, But when I do,
that's how I do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 6: Actually my first response to that was I was surprised that,
you know, he was washing the distance the judo's on him,
you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yep, trust me when I say she's probably already
formatting the text.
Speaker 3: Uh huh, yeah. We Yeah.
Speaker 5: So forever we were handle up, we were handle up family.
I think over the last eighteen months or so, we grow,
We've really grown.
Speaker 3: We're a handle down company.
Speaker 5: And I get the argument against you don't want to
touch like the business end of a utensil and somebody
else might be eating, but it just for whatever reason,
you can fit more in that basket.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5: Uh, let's see, so we got I got a hastack,
might as I got a good one here. It's it's
kind of a Brian question. So like do different cuts
or different animals require different brine ratios?
Speaker 6: So the Brian ratio is always good, like the salt
of sugar, salt to sugar to water is pettically going
to be the same, right, Brian is typically meant to
do its thing at a at a particular ratio, but
different flavors that go into those, you know, like you
have a red meat versus a white meat, I think
you will do use different flavors and more importantly, like
tougher cuts, leaner cuts versus more tender cuts. I would
never brine a tender cut of beef or a tender
cut of pork. You know, I'm not putting pork tender
loin into a brine. It's really for like tougher cuts
that have a lot of connected tissue. And I even
go to the point if it's if it's like pork,
for instance, we take the top off of a it's
like a it's it would be like the flat iron
of a beef, but it's called something else off the port.
It's called a I'm brain parting right now, but it's
a it's a tough part of sirloin, if you will,
off of the port, and it's tough, right, And so
we take what's called a jakard. It's it's like a
it almost looks like a block, right, if you can,
like a brick or something, and it has all these
blades that come down out of it and when you
press down onto the meat, the blades go in and
cut the muscle tissues. And what that does it offers
perporation in between the muscle tissues so that the brine
can get in there as well. And it works exceptionally well,
you know, it allows more it allows more brine to well, uh,
you know, like water water from the from the muscle
tissue to exchange. And that's what you're trying to do.
You're trying to you're trying to get the salty water,
salty brining water into the muscle tissue and pull the myoglobein,
if you will, out of the out of the muscle
tissue or that exchange so that when you cook it's
retaining moisture.
Speaker 4: That's the smartest thing I've ever heard, and even the
smartest on the show show that just blows me.
Speaker 3: Away hashtag munchies.
Speaker 4: I got about fifteen pounds of Gator sauce it stashed
up for umber three.
Speaker 3: What is the best way to cook it up?
Speaker 6: You know, I'm a fan of eating Gator sausage as
it is like in a po boy or something, you know,
and people disagree with me here and I know care.
You know, like I always cook sausage in a steamy
bath first, not boiling, not boiling it and even in
steam because you know, like if you put it down
into the liquid, there's more density there. The skin of
the sausage is going to maintain. It's not going to pop,
it's not gonna break. And specifically with Gator super lean, right,
so you don't want any of the fat to leap
out of it while you're cooking it, or it's going
to be draggater and the you know, then you're going
to have a bad experience. So if you put it
into a steamy bath that you know, like one hundred
and seventy five degrees maybe a little bit lower, even
you don't want too much water motion, you don't want
too much bubbling to you know, like disrupt the sausage
coming apart er out the end, but that water is
going to heat it up faster, more efficiently. And then
once you get it hot, you take it out, you
let the skin steam dry, and then you put it
into your skillet or onto your grill, and you know
it's spending less time on there. If the skin does pop,
it's already ready to eat anyway, because the pin cooked already.
So you really just getting the skin to the place
to where you get the pop, right to where you
buy it, and you get to snap. And it's a
more effective it's a more efficient way of cooking sausage,
any sausage that has the skin on it.
Speaker 4: So you just don't throw it on the grill like
I do, just pop it on there straight out of
the fridge. Okay, all right, okay, I'm gonna try your way.
I'm going to improve my sausage cooking here, chef. What's
your schedule like on a home a home game? I
know that I know the team's got to get fed.
You got other yeah, I'm sure you got other sports
to deal with. Do you do you feed the team?
Do you cook?
Speaker 5: Do you get a chance to kind of like mingle
around and go check out some of the tailgating culinary fair.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Saturdays are my only day off there you go,
good for you. So so people are always like, I know,
you got to do this, you got to do that.
And actually, you know, like I am more likely to
sit go home and you know, be at home, or
be at a friend's house or be a family members
how watching the game from their house. I usually do
make a couple of games a year with my kids
just to enjoy the experience. But you know, I I
love fans, right, but fans say some pretty pretty brutal
stuff about our boys sometimes, and being in that environment
sometimes this isn't always good easy for me, right, Like
listening to average you know, LSU fans kind of go
up and down with their opinion of the guys that
are playing on the field. So you know, I'm fully
brought into this. I'm quite passionate about it as well.
And I know these guys as well as anybody does here,
you know, like personality wise. So sometimes when you hear
that abrasive talk, it gets a little bit difficult, right.
So I cheer from home a lot. I will go
to a couple of games a year, and I do
go go and and mill about the friends tailgates. But honestly,
you know, it's just a lot less stress and and
I mean it's my data relax, So I usually take
that opportunity to do so.
Speaker 3: Hashtag munchies.
Speaker 4: In the nineteen eighties, LSU used to withhold serving milk
on Saturdays for football players.
Speaker 2: Is this still a thing? Wild made them last?
Speaker 6: That's a wild No, absolutely not still say thing like
what happened in the eighties.
Speaker 4: The first time I've heard that one too, Chef oh Man,
that's a good one.
Speaker 3: I actually had. I was on a team. I can't
remember which team it was.
Speaker 5: Actually let you have a like one or two beers
the night before a game, so they I think that's
a little bit old school mentality.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I know a couple of guys that
are weightlifters that drink beer before they have you know,
like show where they performed, because it's like a caloric
intake without without any calorie or I don't know, I forget,
I forget what the explanation was, but it's it's like
empty calories that allows them to be full without without
actually eating something of that nature. I don't know, but
it's a weird deal.
Speaker 3: Some like health terms go drinking beer? Yeah, smart, right, smart?
Speaker 4: All right, chef, real quick, last one, where did you
watch the game Saturday?
Speaker 6: So believe it or not? I went off short fishing
Saturday with my brother.
Speaker 3: I believe it knowing you actually believe it very much.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I watched the game from my brother's camp
and grand out after a long day of fishing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: All right, now that's exactly where I thought you would
be if I'm being completely honest. Chef, we love you,
We thank you, and uh hopefully I'll run into you
on campus this weekend.
Speaker 3: If not, I'll see very soon.
Speaker 6: All right, look forward to you guys.
Speaker 3: All right.

Speaker 3: We jump back here off the bench. All right.
Speaker 4: As we know, game day deserves something legendary and nothing
goes better with football than ice cold Do Seki, so
maybe even a couple of ice cold Do Seqi.
Speaker 3: So whether you're tailgating.
Speaker 4: Outside of Tiger Stadium, watching from your favorite dive ball,
or you're grilling in your backyard, do Seqis is the
beer that keeps the party going. Is Chris is refreshing
and always the right call when your team takes the field.
So grab an ice cold do Seki, share it with
your friends, and make every Saturday feel like a championship
Do Sekis.
Speaker 3: Go for dose.
Speaker 4: That's right, tailgate the right way. We got the first
tailgate of the.

And but he did really well. Last week he played
really good against Dunham.
Speaker 3: High effort, high motor.
Speaker 4: And so we have a lot of our listeners right
now that have gone through this process that have either
been through it and went through it ten, fifteen, twenty
years ago, they're currently going through it right now.
Speaker 3: Or like you like you're one day you'll go through
it with Huck right now.
Speaker 4: Man, I I'm really excited for this process, but I'm
really nervous.
Speaker 3: Have you ever been nervous for a game? Now?
Speaker 5: I'm assuming cause I get that way with like fight,
like watch him do anything right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's like I was never just nervous for myself.
Speaker 4: No, like, oh no, I can only imagine like sitting there,
he's throwing the pads on, going against them like the
the best of the best than high school football, about
the hit people in the face and get hit in
the face.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't imagine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, It's it is hard to explain because I'm just
not a nervous person when I play football, like not
one game and people will like find that hard. I'm
just no, because like I always felt like I was prepared.
I was ready to go. And if like if you're
not ready, like you're gonna get exposed, so you better
be ready. It doesn't matter the game, National Championship, first,
NFL game last, and what like whatever for your son
playing high school football. I'm like, oh, you know, you
can't control it obviously, Like that's a part of it.
Speaker 3: You don't have the control.
Speaker 4: Like it's him, like it's the work that he's put in,
and you can't you know, you don't have a say
in the outcome. You're sitting there in your a spectator
and then like also like you know, look, I don't
I don't want to be the dad. It's like, you know,
trying to tell you what to do, certainly like during
the game, like coaches, I mean, did I say I
was gonna yell out there if he's given lack of effort.
That's the only time if you give a lack of effort,
I hear me. But I am very excited. Man. He's
put in a lot of hard work, and you know
a lot of people have always told us this, but
like these are some of the times, like you can't
get them back. You only get so many, and so
our our high school football journey starts.
Speaker 5: To get I'm excited about how excited that like I know,
just like you said, the listeners that have been through
it are going through it currently or now. Of course,
I got a lot of friends that have already been
through that, and they say, it's like the best part. Well,
some of the best parts of life is enjoying your
child do what they love to do, whether it's football,
whether it's dance, whatever, whatever it is. But to be
able there and sit and watch them do something that
they work hard for. I mean, that's all you can
hope and hope that they, you know, succeed with it.
But success comes in many different ways with kids. So
like it's a lot of people starting that journey, a
lot of people are continuing that journey this week with
with high school football, we wish all the high schools
out there successful seasons, enjoyable seasons, great games, great comp petition,
great victories.
Speaker 4: Man, it's gonna be fun. Uh but man, what time,
What a time for those kids' lives. And yeah, good
luck to your son. I know he's gonna play well.
Coach Andy Martin over there running an incredible, incredible program.
Speaker 3: I know y'all gonna have a good team. So just excited.
I can't wait to see all those big in inner city.
Speaker 4: Matchups this week or this uh this year. Yeah, it's
gonna be some great ones. I mean, you know, it's
fun getting to play done on the last week and uh,
you know you High Catholic are gonna play.
Speaker 3: Uh and the Car's got a.
Speaker 4: National game coming up next week, American Heritage coming to
the Superdome. So I think it's actually I think it's
you High and Rummel are going to get it kicked
off in the Superdome and then American Heritage and the
Car playing each other. That's gonna be a massive That's
a nationally televised game, so cool.
Speaker 3: And that what experience for those kids too? Man.
Speaker 5: I I kind of know that experience because I still
have I remember very vividly, like being able to play
as a high school kid in Texas Stadium, like the
old school Texas Stadium. So like for those kids, we
want to go playing the Dome and let alone, but
playing on television.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine maybe y'all did it. I don't know.
Speaker 5: I'm sure y'all did do it. You just running the
coatails of rock Berlin. I get it smart, but I
couldn't imagine like how nervous I would be like you.
I was kind of nervous because, like what I did
was kind of like a fine motor skill position. I
think kickers, hitters, pitchers, quarterbacks get a little bit more
nervous because it's like if you're a little bit off,
Like it's very noticeable, like if you miss a block
by like if you hit his outside shoulder so it's
inside shoulders, it's not like real.
Speaker 4: Yeah, noticeable running back and also helped me out. Yeah,
may have for it, Yeah for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah. We played a day loss out out of California
on ESPN. Smoked them.

fifteen game winning streak. We lost twenty twenty seven fourteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about that they were super well coached.

We'll wrap it up answering your questions like we always do.
A little asked tomnch here on O TV off the.
Speaker 3: Bench, all right.

Louisiana favorite, the go to rice for jambalayas at two
Phase two's red beans and gumbos. So no matter your style,
it can be brown rice, long grain, medium grain, and jasmine.
Speaker 3: Which is my personal favorite.
Speaker 4: Our got Handy put me on that years ago and
I have not gotten off since. Supreme Rice makes your
favorite dishes even better. So Supreme Rice, you know, built
for those tailgates we got coming up this weekend, holidays,
or anytime you're bringing people together around the table. But

at every single tailgate. Every bag is grown melt in
process right here in southwest Louisiana. So when you buy

Speaker 4: All right, let's get to some of your questions inside
about you four to chat here. Let's see ask the
bench what do you most want to see from l
s U Saturday.
Speaker 5: Execute And that's a big broad statement, I get it,
But execute the little things. The intensity of the passion
is going to be manufactured this week. It's not gonna
be organic like it was in a big first week
game on the road against the Clemson. Look, you're gonna
have to manufacture your energy. You're gonna have to have
the leaders step up and make sure that there is
no dip in execution. So what I mean by that,
make sure we're making the right mic calls on the
offensive line, make sure we are are blocking schemes are correct.
Make sure we're playing throw and catch the same way
on defense. Make sure we're being gaps ound, make sure
we're dropping. There's limit the mental errors. That is what
I want to see.
Speaker 3: Execute, Execute, Execute.
Speaker 4: When a game that I know that the passion is
going to be a little bit down, just rely on
the x's and o's and execute.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'm right there with you.
Speaker 4: I mean, I just want to see it be clean
and crispy and look like it's on schedule. And you know,
no mental bus, no coverage bus, no misassignments where it's
like a glaring like you're gonna miss like some small assignments.
But you know, hey, you know we're supposed to be
playing quarters and this side's playing quarters. But this side's
over here playing quarter quarter half and it's like, you know,
nobody's on the same page back there, Like just.
Speaker 3: Make sure it's a clean game.
Speaker 4: And I think that's exactly what you're gonna get from
the LSU Tiger.
Speaker 3: So we're looking forward to it.
Speaker 4: Remember we're gonna be on location at Rouse's tomorrow on Burbank.
