Speaker 1: It's the most wonderful time of the year and off
the benches here to bring you some holidays year presented
by All Star Toyota, join us for a cozy chat
about sports, laughter and the spirit of Christmas Alive from
the Mercedes Benz of Baton Rouge Studio.
Speaker 2: Here's Jacob Hester and Taba a Bear Christmas this.
Speaker 3: Seven. Oh goodness, hey LSU hire Zach Mettenberger, Okay, any
tight ends?
Speaker 4: Coach any more? LSU guys at LSU. Bring Zach back
and Craig is up real quick.
Speaker 5: There we go.
Speaker 6: That's the good stuff.
Speaker 7: I hate when I think that, like something that I'm
about to do is so funny that I laugh at
it myself and I can't be serious through it.
Speaker 5: Because the other day.
Speaker 7: When you got mad at me, I was trying so
hard not to laugh but kept playing. I think I
was back here like literally tears in my eyes because
I was laughing so hard at it.
Speaker 4: My uh yeah. My wife's so annoying in that regard.
She's notorious. Like if she thinks something's funny, she can't
tell the story, like and it just becomes awkward for
everybody because she's just laughing and.
Speaker 8: No matter how funny it is, it's never.
Speaker 4: She's butchering it and we're all kind of like, uh huh.
It's kind of waiting for her to get it out.
Speaker 5: But before I even played the song.
Speaker 4: I mean, she likes she likes uh, but she likes
my jokes too, so like you, she pumps me up.
That makes me feel good, y'all talking about san Antonio,
big women.
Speaker 5: In the chat, we're just talking.
Speaker 7: They're just talking about Someone said that Texas cities don't
have soul, and I can agree for the most part.
But San Antonio has got a lot of soul to
it and a lot of culture.
Speaker 4: I feel like, is san Antonio like the text mex
Culture or capital I.
Speaker 5: Would say so yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, even Houston's weird because it's like it's so concrete.
Speaker 5: It's me so much anxiety.
Speaker 6: I know, I know, I know, and it's wait to
ate all that stuff.
Speaker 4: But like I've seen enough documentaries and stuff on like
the Houston food scene where that seems like cool.
Speaker 6: I mean, that seems pretty emn cool.
Speaker 4: It's like a huge melting pot of different culinary cultures
all coming together.
Speaker 7: Maybe I don't go there enough to know, because it,
like I.
Speaker 8: Don't go there either.
Speaker 4: I've just seen like shows to your point, though, like
I try to avoid Texas at all costs.
Speaker 8: It's weird. I go to Houston like somewhat often and
cook they why what what's in Houston?
Speaker 6: You tell me who's in Houston? You and Victoria probably
know who? Do you go see? What's his name? What's
his build the ball?
Speaker 5: Taylor?
Speaker 6: Is that him?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 6: H town Bill?
Speaker 8: No, he goes by William anyway, go ahead. It's one
of the most like racially culturally diverse. Like yeah, like
you could like culture, you could like walk into that
gallery or whatever they have in Houston and see the
entire world.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 4: I mean that's a dream of America in some ways,
the melting pot. All right, so this hour, you know,
it's the last hour Friday. Let's have some fun, guys,
but maybe not as fun.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 4: We spent a lot of time talking recruiting this week
because of course, and chances are that a lot of
you out there listening spend a lot of emotion thinking
about recruiting this week.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: But Taylor has noticed something and put together some data.
Thanks to our friend up there in Monroe, Mark Monroe,
Mark Zuckerbergy, that's what we call him, Mark Monroe. Mark,
thank you for sitting this data our way. But Taylor's
collated the data, and I think we're going to engage
in an exercise of like showing that nobody actually knows
what the hell's going on, and that even the best
laid plans of mice and men can go awry, and
that you know, sometimes this can all be much ado
about nothing. Now I'm gonna preface I'm not saying obviously obviously,
I'm not saying that recruit doesn't matter one thousand does
you have to keep up with the Joneses. You gotta
be in the top ten. But my god, things can
go weird and sideways fast. So Taylor, what did you find?
Speaker 8: Well, first off, I got to give credit where credits due.
About a month ago, Hunt came up to me, was like, hey,
when's the last time you looked at the twenty twenty
three class? He goes, I feel like you shut up.
Like every time I hear of somebody like why isn't
this guy playing and he's like, they're from the twenty
twenty three class. So yesterday I went and looked with
all the transfers and everything. The twenty twenty three recruiting class,
according to one three, ranked fifth in the country, is
a good class, third in the SEC, behind only Alabama
and Georgia. Kelly's first class, right, yes, yeah, first full class,
because so we got there in twenty two. You know
you got there, laid That was basically all transfers. Twenty
six high school signees, fifteen of them are no longer
on the Lshue rosters. That's fifty eight percent of your
class is no longer here. To show you how bad
it is. Your top five players in that class Zalance heard,
Deshaun Womack, Jvan Toviano, Jaylen Brown, and Shelton Sampson four
of the five not on the roster. Four of the
top five highest ranked players in that class.
Speaker 6: Wait, Toviano and Samson aren't still here.
Speaker 8: No, Toviano is the only one. Samson entered yesterday.
Speaker 4: Oh Samson or the portal sod Womack, Jaylen Brown, Shelton
Samson all gone.
Speaker 8: Samson and I And then you go look at the
rest of the class though, guys, I mean you have
DJ Chester, who's your starting center? Now you got Whitweeks
and he got Ashton Stamps. That's about it. I mean,
Kyle Parker showed promise before he got hurt. We'll see
what he does. He took a step back this year.
Speaker 4: This is supposed to be when that class really starts
to come online.
Speaker 8: Paul mcbinga, you know, he showed promise the last couple games.
Struggled a little bit, but he's getting better. Dylan Carpenter
hasn't really played. I mean, guys, who's not a touch.
Trey Holly, we don't know what whose situation is. Caleb
Jackson hasn't played a ton. Ricky Collins was in this class.
Tyree Adams, they like him. He hasn't seen the field
a ton. I mean it's Camorian Pempton, But I mean
you really have dj Chester, wit Weeks and Ashton Stamps.
Everyone else either has not played or is not even
on the team anymore.
Speaker 6: Yikes.
Speaker 4: And again, that was an objectively awesome class built through Louisiana.
Fifth in the country, like Taylor said, and look at
how it looks just two years later.
Speaker 8: So I will say that they have they have, they
have the transfers listed. Kelly did a really good job
in the portal this year. I mean Brayden Swinson, he
went and got Aaron Anderson, he went and got Omar
Spates was in this class. Logan Diggs was good until
he wasn't. Paris Shand was in this class. Jordan Jefferson,
Zia Alexander's like he did really good in the transfer portal,
but the high school recruiting class not what they thought
it was gonna be.
Speaker 6: That's uh.
Speaker 4: What would be interesting though, would be you said, Alabama
and who finished at Georgia.
Speaker 8: Alabama and Georgia.
Speaker 4: I would be very fascinated to see how much of
their class is left because I wonder is this par
for the course kind of nowadays? When you because because
in theory kind of the better your classes overall, the
more transfers you're gonna end up with, right because not
everybody can play.
Speaker 6: And those top level recruits, that's the sound of sickness
spreading the world.
Speaker 4: Those top level recruits are going to be the guys
that most teams are going to be interested in bringing in.
So it does feel extreme. I wonder if it's as
extreme as it feels to us right now. I still
think it's crazy that this class that was just two
years ago would only have produced two starters thus far.
Speaker 6: Like, that's not good.
Speaker 4: That that that that that that that that's kind of
a bit of a disaster class though that could get
bumped up if m Binga and Tyree Adams become very
good players next year, then okay then and you're starting
to gain some there.
Speaker 8: Well, so you're I'm sorry, you're actually fourth in the SEC.
A and M was ahead of you. We know how
that class turned out. That was not great. That was
Jimbo's best class money can buy?
Speaker 6: Wait was that slice bread? That was a slice bread class?
Speaker 8: I believe it was, Oh wow, and that one objectively
awful for Texas A and M so, but I mean
there's was There was a top five class in the
country as well.
Speaker 4: Matcy says the A and M class couple years ago,
the one we saw him out was considered the best ever.
Of the top ten players, only two are still on
the team and only one of them starts. Yeah, man,
so you never quite know. You never quite know. There's
so many elements that go into talent evaluation, how a
guy fits in situation. I mean, you see in the
NFL all the time, like look at Sam Darnold, he
sucked for so long, and now he gets with a
good coach in a good situation in Minnesota, and he
looks awesome.
Speaker 6: Judge me off for year three.
Speaker 4: I was summoned, dude to talking about BKA's year three.
We're talking about his year three. Yeah, look it was again.
It was not a pass year. It was a failure,
but it didn't go full disaster, which it felt like
it could have. I think the thing that smarts the
most with me right now is the fact that everything
actually broke your way. And if you had only beaten
Florida or A and M, you'd be playing Championship weekend
as well.
Speaker 6: This weekend.
Speaker 7: We would like dominated the first half the A and
M games Like That's like I know y'all were saying
that the Florida one is more annoying because of the bombs.
Speaker 6: J Jake agrees with you.
Speaker 8: Jake said, the A and M and you controlled that game.
You hadn't a business losing.
Speaker 6: If only you would let Connor Wegman score.
Speaker 4: Yeah, wanted, We're just driving down and get you a
field goal. It's some weirdest thing I've ever felt. I
feel like if they score one touchdown with Connor, we
win that game.
Speaker 7: And it's also like we were kind of like the
first ones that they experimented that on, where they just
put Marcel Reid in at the like whenever Connor wasn't working,
and they figured him out before like the other teams
that faced him since figured him out.
Speaker 4: Because yes, well, I mean we said it to Mars
Reed is going to be really good. But also there's
a Matt we said at the time, there's a massive
difference between game planning for a guy and having coming
out of nowhere and even beyond that, having a guy
who's a running quarterback come out of nowhere with nothing
to lose because the game's already lost, and so you
you only have the chance to be the hero and.
Speaker 6: You're gonna give him twenty yard fields to work.
Speaker 4: It was a perfect recipe of that.
Speaker 6: Speaking of bad you know, you know sometimes seems to
be so bad they're good.
Speaker 4: I love Nick Wright's hair. Oh don't I need so insane?
I mean, Elanda, look at him right there, it is.
He's so successful. Fox loves him. They make him like
their main guy, and my man straight up looks like
Jesus or he killed Jesus. Okay, he might, but look
at that dude that greasy, lank, long hair. My man,
Nick Right, I don't hate it. He wears it with
such confidence it's insane.
Speaker 5: I don't hate it. But you can't be up on that.
Speaker 8: I don't like it.
Speaker 6: He can, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: But he's like Foxes like main, Like what are their
main He's like the guy at fox Like. So for
all all of you out there who you're wondering, like, oh,
I didn't make it because I wasn't good looking enough,
Nick Wright's.
Speaker 6: Like, how about you sharpen up your takes?
Speaker 3: Bum.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's good looking.
Speaker 6: Good look at me. You think I don't know. I
don't know.
Speaker 5: Maybe I'm mothe. The angle is not great. Also notoriously
don't have good taste of its.
Speaker 6: Yes, we were talking about that commercial breaks. All I
know is there's a couple of guys that it's on site.
Speaker 4: If we see you, I'm not gonna name it games
out of respect for a laundre's privacy, but yeah, it's
a big do. And just know that I know what
your name is and that if we see you in
the two two five, you gonna end up like that
body they found outside of Jeff Mancher's house.
Speaker 6: The other night.
Speaker 7: See, I always wondered, like, Okay, the Dave Portnoy thing,
like if that happened to me, Are T, Bob and
Jake gonna go that hard for me?
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you're proving that you are.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll make a diss track.
Speaker 5: I appreciate it.

ben Verge.
Speaker 4: All right, when we get back here or no TV uh,
let's start do our parlay and we got a t
NFL story of the day day, give you a lock.
Speaker 2: Off the bench.
Speaker 6: Said the night when to the little land?
Speaker 2: Do you see what I see?
Speaker 1: Welcome back to more sports talk. What's some other stuff
mixed in off the bench with hester at bob.
Speaker 6: Or to home handbom to that mean coin.
Speaker 4: So I've been reading about the hawk to a meme coin.
I don't know why people keep falling for this. I'm
not even sure if it's legal. I know people are
trying to get her in jail. But like, celebrities keep
doing this, right, Paul's did it. A ton of people don't.
The Tate brothers did it. They're talking crap up people
who did it. If you ever, if you're someone who
hates crypto and you love watching crypto people be called
out for their scams, you should watch the coffee Zilla
YouTube channel.
Speaker 6: It's an incredible YouTube channel.
Speaker 4: But the celebrities, they create these meme coins, and they
create a bunch of hype around it and then they
immediately dump it. And I guess that's what Talk to
his team did, where they do the pre sale you
know sales a ton hit a market cap of five
hundred million, and then right when it goes public, all
the big buyers immediately sell everything and it drops ninety
twenty five million, uh, and you're left hold in the bag. Well, they.
Speaker 6: Talk to A team made fifty million dollars.
Speaker 4: But I think I think you're kind of an idiot.
So I don't think you deserve legal repercussion. I don't
think you deserve I don't think you deserve protection if
you bought into the talk to A or the talk
to A uh meme coin scheme, that's natural selection, that's Darwinism,
Like you're an idiot. Although I gotta say the craziest
thing about this thread that I was reading, I knew
the Talk to A podcast became like a meme thinking
about you know, with people making jokes and videos about
like how pumped they were for talk to and you
see like groups of guys sitting around and getting like
hyped and.
Speaker 6: They chew a clip.
Speaker 4: Did y'all know talk to A become the became the
fifth biggest podcast in the world.
Speaker 8: That's actually the I honestly thought it was higher than that.
Speaker 4: That's insane. Do you act think about like, think about
like Joe wrote me, like, that's the level that we're
talking about here. And I'm not hating. I'm not hating
on Haley.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 4: I don't know how much knowledge he had of the
meme coin stuff. I feel like a lot of times
those people just get other people around them that are like, dude,
we should do this, and they make money, they're name market. Yeah,
exactly right, and ends up giving the same thing that
happened to the Walking Bets girl. And I've always actually
liked her because I think there is actual skill to
her stay in power. Like it is a little bit
by happenstance, but it's not by a complete accident that
you somehow create the fifth largest podcast in the entire world.
Speaker 6: That's insanity. Credit to Haley Welch, but.
Speaker 4: It's just never good luck when you steal from your fans.
Speaker 7: I can't really give her the credit for that, to
be honest. That's but plenty of people go viral, Yeah,
plenty of people go viral. But like now she has
people around her that are telling her how to stay relevant.
Speaker 4: This isn't on her, but plenty of people have that
as well, and they don't. They don't, they don't have
the staying power. All I'm saying is there's more there.
I mean, I watched her go toe to toe with
Bill Meyer and make him look pretty dumb.
Speaker 6: How she just like.
Speaker 5: Me, not like the smartest person on earth either.
Speaker 4: I mean, look, he's someone who has his ten thousand
hours hours put in talking into a mic. Yeah, And
like when they got together, I thought, you know, he
was trying to maybe like River a little bit, like
trying to get.
Speaker 6: Over on and I thought she got over on him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that was impressing me because that's like going
you know, regardless what you think about Bill maher Like
he said, he's got his ten thousand hours, Like like
you're you're sitting down.
Speaker 5: With a uh, judge for myself.
Speaker 4: I'll show you the clip he's he's I think he's.
I'll show you the clip and you can judge for yourself.
Really not you think, but yeah, this is some real
idiocracy stuff. Uh. William Anthony did OTV touch on Bill
Belichick interviewing for the UNC head coach be you know,
we did not. I cannot fathom that Belichick's gonna coach
college So.
Speaker 8: You know, I was I was actually going to ask you, guys,
NFL story of the day, which one do y'all want
this one or another one? But since we're already talking
about it the other one, let's talk about the same.
I think that would be an awful decision to hire
Bill Belichick at the college level, not because he's a
good not because he's not a good coach. Is he
ever coached at the college level, as far as being
a head coach.
Speaker 6: Not a head coach.
Speaker 8: College football is as complex as it ever is. You
have an ever changing landscape of recruiting in IL, revenue
sharing and all that, and you're going to hire a
guy that's never done it at the college level. I
think that's a bad idea. I mean, maybe he's now.
You could argue the other way and say Bill Belichick's
at NFL coach. College football is closer to the NFL
than it ever has been in terms of salary cap
and roster management, so you could go that way, But
I mean, he was college football scouting.
Speaker 4: You could argue it one way or the long Way
and recruiting, like Bill Belichick shows up to your home.
I don't know, but yeah, so you could argue it, Ryan,
I mean, he loves to grind. To be fair, we
do know that him chanting new your job, new year job.
Speaker 8: I just think scouting in the NFL and drafting players
is way different than recruiting. Like, no, no, I don't know
if Belichick wants to do that.
Speaker 4: I think all of your concerns are valid, and I
have I honestly can't even offer a take on whether
or not this would be a good decision or not. Uh,
but it's deeply interesting if he were to end up
as a college coach. I mean, is the NFL just
done with him? They just put Bill out to pasture?
Speaker 6: That hard?
Speaker 8: I mean kind of because like we were talking about
it the other day, right, Like, I mean, the Saints
head coaching job is open. Look at all the other ones.
We have brought up a lot of different candidates for
a lot of different jobs. Bill Belichick ain't on any
of them.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 4: I know that's crazy. I mean, the Saints too need
a bridge coach more than anything. I know. That's weird because,
like you say, you want to hire the guy that's
gonna get it right. But with what Mickey Loomis has
done to the team, it feels like you're so far
off from getting it right that you almost need a
Patsy in some ways, And like, so why not I
don't know, Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean he's not being brought up at any
job that's open now or will come up. If that
was Bill, I'd be I'd be done with the NFL.
Like dudes made his money. He has six super Bowls.
Speaker 4: He's in his seventies, Like, uh oh uh oh, I
think a holiday Rizzler Verse just dropped what yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm gonna put this in the doctor and we have
to get to this uh here in a little bit
and let this brain rot Friday of a show just
really just crank up to another level. As you've been
really good about diving in the brain rot today.
Speaker 5: I know we hit hawk to a girl what I'm saying,
Tiger dropping.
Speaker 6: We we did.
Speaker 4: We did the entire Boom song, yeah boom, Yeah, we
were just going full brain rot. The only thing we're
missing is even though this probably feels like it's old
personnel and not cool anymore, but the skivity Ohio riz

Speaker 4: No, you why, I firmly believe I would have been
right if I had you not not listened during the
show and zoned out and then immediately broadsided the pick
that I picked.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that said, I don't know how you called that
Baylor game.
Speaker 4: Kansas was so hot.
Speaker 6: I know, apparently to be fair.
Speaker 7: I also zoned out because that's when I got the
video of somebody hitting my parked car, so.
Speaker 4: Oh that was it. Yeah, that's why I was geez,
what an awful, awful break.
Speaker 5: And then I was like, Baylor, You're like I just said, Kansas, Yeah, like.
Speaker 6: I was the son of them.

Speaker 4: Taylor. Let's you a little Tata NFL story of the Day.
Speaker 1: Day, it's time for Tata's NFL Story of the Day. Day,
your daily dose of NFL news from Taylor Sharp damp bad.
Speaker 8: Was it a good mood today?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Wait, a really good show. Hey no, it's been positive vibes,
but uh, this is stuff like this really puts me
to bad news. So this is actually announced a few
days ago, we just haven't got to it yet. The
Baltimore Ravens have suspended wide receiver Deontay Johnson. If you
guys remember before Week nine they traded for Deontay Johnson.
I believe they gave up a third round pick to
the Panthers to get Deontay Johnson. He hasn't played a ton.
He's only played thirty nine snaps actually total since joining
the Ravens, so his usage rate has not been super high.
Deontay Johnson has been suspended for a game for refusing
to enter the game against the Philadelphia Eagles when called
up on last week. They asked the general manager, you know,
he said, this was a difficult decision, but we think
it's the right move. This is not enough. Deontay Johnson
should be kicked off of this team right now. There
should be no suspension, There should be no multiple games suspension.
There should be no fine. Kick him off the team
right now. Whatever you traded to the Caroline of Panthers,
you're just going to have to eat that. Johnson has
come out and said, well, you know, I just haven't
been happy with my usage, So you're not happy that
you're unhappy that you're not playing enough. But when they
decide to play you, you're ass fans on the sidelines
and says I'm not going into the game. He needs
to be kicked off the team right now. This is
ridiculous for the Ravens.
Speaker 4: They I mean, I kind of agree that that's toxic,
Like that's toxic masculinity, where like he thinks he's the man,
so much like Taylor said, like you're you, you're bitching
about not playing, but then they tell you to play, and.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm not playing some unhappy.
Speaker 8: One of the worst teams in the NFL to one
of the best teams in the NFL, and you're complaining
about it and refusing to go into the game. Get
the hell out the locker room. You're off the team, dude.
This is ridiculous.
Speaker 6: I mean, I actually don't disagree with Taylor here.
Speaker 5: I don't disagree either. He's just very fired up.
Speaker 6: I do love how fired up you are.
Speaker 4: Two.
Speaker 8: It's always the receivers, right, it's always the receivers. One
of the receivers causing.
Speaker 6: Problems, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 8: It's all always a wide receiver.
Speaker 4: It always is. To be fair, I'd be so mad.
Man would be so mad of us on the team.
I'd be so mad of as a front off as
you wasted resources getting him.
Speaker 7: Okay, sorry, I've seen this question like a hundred times
in the chat in the past week, so let's answer it.
Do we think Juwan Johnson remains at running back? Feels
like he's the new Perkins. Don't know where he'll end up.
I've seen it a million times.
Speaker 8: Tough question because you're that's kind of both a position
of need, right, do you move him back to corner?
Full disclosure, When I was out there at fall practice,
he was Major Burns's primary backup at the star position
before they moved him over at running back. They really
liked him there. However, what happens to running back? We
were talking about yesterday, you need a guy out of
the portal. I think maybe if you get a guy
out of the portal, you move Juwan Johnson. If you
don't get a guy out of the portal, he might
stay there because he didn't play a ton. I mean
the first two or three weeks you put him there,
he had played a lot. He even went in there
and did a wildcat run. But later down the stretch
he didn't.
Speaker 4: He didn't play it to a couple of critical errors,
which is not really his fault. I mean he had, uh,
technically his fault, but he got thrown into a pretty
unenviable situation.
Speaker 5: Wrong or did he score a touchdown?
Speaker 6: He scored a couple.
Speaker 5: Okay, so uh, I mean talk about utility player, that's him.
Speaker 6: I think that. Yeah, I mean there's a role for him.
Speaker 4: I have no idea what it's gonna be, though, there
is a role for him.
Speaker 8: Okay, look, guys in the check you can't defend Deontay Johnson.
I get it. He's unhappy. Ryan Ryan Smith goes, hey,
look they're not throwing in the ball. He had five
targets and two are uncatchable. Yeah, guess what, when you're
not going into the game, you got zero targets. Hope
you didn't get any targets from any team.
Speaker 4: Also, again, you're cutting off your nose to spite your face. Yeah,
get out of hereuse you know it's gonna look way
worse for anybody that wants to sign you next time
is you literally wouldn't go in the game like you better.
And granted, he probably is an athletic freak because that's
the only way you get away with this behavior, but like,
come on now.
Speaker 8: Well apparently they're they're gonna have more conversations about his
future uh in the in the coming week because they're
going into their bye week, so they suspended him for
the game after the bye week. Just cut him, cut ties,
be done with it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, energy drink did you drink today?
Speaker 6: I can't believe you.
Speaker 8: Know, I'm so maybe that's why I'm cranky. Guys. I
went to the gas station. I was like, guys, are
doing AFR today. It's a noise kind of morning. They
only had the nis zeros. Now I know what you're thinking, Well,
most zeros taste the exact same as normal energy drinks. No, no,
not the nosse the noise regular. I love the energy.
The lost zero awful. I had to get some other
C four crap that I didn't want.
Speaker 4: That's just crazy. Because I never think about drinking something
like that for the taste. I drink it for the efficacy.
Speaker 8: Of I'm just saying the drop off from regular to
zero in terms of noise.
Speaker 4: And if I'm going to drink something, I want to
drink the zero. So I don't want to take in
these crazy calories. For the reason. He's easy noose calories.
You all right, before get to Parley, Let's let's let's
check out the new the Rizzler's new Christmas bars here
you got all right, Let's see and I have not
heard this, so let's see. You see what he says here,
like the polar.
Speaker 1: Exquessed the way my name ring bells, I checked out
all the people in the hotel. Maybe all I.
Speaker 2: Gotta do is that's a job and I can steal him.
Speaker 1: Let's Tarry Bretshew the Princh the way you do.
Speaker 2: I never heard of you. That's why you live in
black pant What conniverse do you killed?
Speaker 6: My god?
Speaker 8: Brou That was honestly, bars Uh.
Speaker 6: That's why he.
Speaker 5: Killed a.
Speaker 7: Check people out or people will check me out more
than a hotel.
Speaker 8: Let's go, I never heard of you. That's why you.
Speaker 4: I like you, and I can steal her like Terry
Bradshaw Stealer Bradshaw Louisiana shout out. Is the Rizzler trying
to separate from Big Justice? I'm not sure this could
be part of a larger This could be part of
a larger Boom Family video that they just cut the
Wrizzler's verse out of. But bars on bars for the
Rizzler there swag levels just out of control, dude, swag,
sander bag grabber, black panther. What kind of verse do
you kill?
Speaker 7: Damn?
Speaker 5: And you call this brain rod? Those are bars?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I think we're all smarter
and better people for having heard that. All right, poptoo, parlay?
Where were going?
Speaker 6: Guys?
Speaker 7: It comes in play two and a half for me, okay,
because I agree with you.
Speaker 5: I think they're more ready for.
Speaker 6: It than s m U s h t te.
Speaker 8: You know, Am I really going to uh side with
James Franklin in a big Game? Of course I'm not.
I'm going to Oregon to cover the three and a half.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm not a bad play even though I got
that game at three, but not a bad.
Speaker 8: Three three and a half. I don't care where it is.
I'm taking Oregon to cover.
Speaker 4: Mmm, what is the problem? Would say, because I know
I chose a house to stay to Iowa State twin,
but I have not actually watched a lot of Iowa
State this year. I'm more choosing because Jordan Tyson being Now, mm,
do I dare take Texas to cover the three?
Speaker 7: So if you were going to take Clemson, I was
going to take Texas to cover the three.
Speaker 4: You.
Speaker 5: I don't think they lose to Georgia again. Hard to
beat the same team twice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he really is all right because I've watched
way more Texas in Georgia. I'll go Texas minus three
instead if I was there.
Speaker 8: Okay, So we have Texas minus three, Clemson plus two
and a half, Oregon minus three.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the big boys.
Speaker 5: Okay. I texted Jake to see if he has a pick.
Speaker 4: We're front runners this weekend. Guys, Emil, how much money
did you lose on to a coin? I don't want
to talk about it, dud. Okay, this is the reason
why I'm so fired up on it today. I thought
Haley was gonna be my ticket to the big time,
but instead she welched on all of her promises, Like yeah, yeah,
We're gonna launch her own meme quick pomp and dump. Baby, Yeah, Jack,
what did tae after every show?
Speaker 6: All right, when we get back, let's close the other show.
A little asked.
Speaker 2: A bench off the bench, not a ring.
Speaker 4: You know you're the math.
Speaker 1: Welcome in to the best morning sports this show around
off the bench with Esther and t Bob.
Speaker 4: What's happening y'all? Run round? Rudolph Christmas here loving it.
This is probably the This is probably number one on
my labor Yeah, probably See. I love that man's good
to everybody, you know. I love the different opinions of
what everybody's Number one with.
Speaker 6: A bullet is.
Speaker 7: Jake's pick for the pontoon parlays Arizona State by the way, Okay.
Speaker 4: Good, I'm glad you didn't go see even though Emial's
got me thinking hard about TWU Lane here, says John
Summral's three and over Service Academy Schools is defensive, giving
up a combined nine points. Give me the green wave
to cover the spread. It's four and a half and
win the acc title. It's on the road, which you
don't love. But they did beat the hell up out
of Navy.
Speaker 5: But I also think that they cover if they lose.
Speaker 6: I don't want to make the switch.
Speaker 5: I mean, we where.
Speaker 4: I'm at with with Texas betting against Smart George.
Speaker 5: We already did last week.
Speaker 8: This is conference championship. All these games are tight. All
I'm gonna be tough. Stick with your gut because if
you don't and you switched to two lane and Army wins,
You're gonna be.
Speaker 5: Like, damn it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm I don't.
Speaker 4: I think I think emails right. But okay, we'll stay.
Speaker 6: We'll go s a T.
Speaker 4: We'll stay, stick with our original uh instincts. By Cold Curse,
Live Visitor, tell me what brought you? By Cold Curse
Live Visita Artels from Blue Moon Lights. Guys, just just

Speaker 4: I'm kind of excited to just chill and have no
whisky wine and be able to like watch all the
games live as they're happeningstead of having to go back
Sunday and watch all the games that happened during the
l s U game.
Speaker 6: But a little sad for sure.
Speaker 4: That's the bench. Has anyone seen the movie Hot Frosty
on Netflix. It's so hot and Ali Hansol, m mmmmm, No,
it's a recently added I'm sure I'll have to watch it.
I will say though, I'm a big fan. I mean
I cannot say about I cannot say enough about.
Speaker 6: Scouting Crew.
Speaker 4: If you're a Star Wars fan, and if you grew
up loving like Spielberg kid movies, your ET's, your Goonies,
Jurassic Parks.
Speaker 6: It is nailing those vibes.
Speaker 4: I love the main actor, the kid in it. It's
got a great all the kids do. They've got this
adorable little alien kid that is one of the cutest
things I've ever seen in my entire life. I watched
first episode last night. My wife said, my daughters woke
up this morning. They were like, so hype teller. They
can't wait to watch the second episode and I I
can't either. Daniel Basha, that's a ringing endorsement for me.
Hot frost he is so terrible.
Speaker 8: It's great. I'm watching it. No, I love movies like that.
Speaker 6: Me too.
Speaker 4: Ask the bench colored lights or white lights on the
Christmas tree or a combination. I prefer white. My kids
like the rainbow. So I got the you know the
ones that can switch and go back and forth. But
at night I want just a cool white, just a
steady white.
Speaker 8: Colored on't mind right now, but I've done both. I mean,
it doesn't I don't really have a preference.
Speaker 4: Years change or did you put up colored lights on it? No,
there's colored lights on it. But I mean, but the
change do they change?
Speaker 8: We have to put a different We have two different strands.
Speaker 4: Hashtag as the bench, when's the last day players cannae
a choice going in the draft?
Speaker 6: I don't know. I'm sorry, I'm.
Speaker 8: Believe it's into January, early February somewhere in there.
Speaker 4: I thought you're gonna see indigestion. He's it into January.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, not the same thing.
Speaker 4: Hashtag asked the bench who would win in a fight,
long horn or a bulldog. Well, we literally almost saw
Bevo kill Yeah, Longhorn. Here's to hope and he can
finish the fight.
Speaker 5: They're not letting him in.
Speaker 7: What there's like some some huge anti Bevo rhetoric going
around right now?
Speaker 5: Does get to go in? No, he doesn't get to go.
Speaker 7: And also if they make it to the national championship,
he's not allowed at the National championship.
Speaker 2: Why.
Speaker 5: I don't know why, but they're not letting him.
Speaker 8: Here's my question though, Seriously, if they get him off
the truck or trailer or wherever he strolled in on
and just start walking him in the stadium, who's gonna
push him out?
Speaker 5: What do you mean?
Speaker 8: Bring Bevo in the stadium? How they gonna stop you
from doing it? Walk and walk him down the corridor
and be like if you can pick him up and
carry him out and he can.
Speaker 4: Leave, Oh, why don't you just get like a fake steer?
You know, why don't they just rent a steer from
Florida and bring him there?
Speaker 8: Or no, you se same thing, right, rent it and
use it as a decoy. They're stopping him. Bevo sneaks
in the back.
Speaker 5: Has Bevo already been at Merced has been stadium?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's where they That's where you almost Yeah, that's.
Speaker 5: What I'm saying.
Speaker 7: So like, why are they suddenly saying, oh, no, we
don't have the space for you. Obviously you do, well,
then put Ugle somewhere else or don't let go in.
Speaker 6: I wish Ugga would have died to be clear.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you've talked about this, Yeah, crazy, relaxed guys. Relax Okay,
at least not Andy Steer like y'all are. Okay, that's
your own bigot itself you gotta work with. Yeah, has
been just the cyber truck, the ugliest car you've ever seen,
easily a little bit. It's so ugly that it's kind
of cool because it looks like it looks like it
looks like ps one graphics.
Speaker 8: To me, there's nothing cool ps one. No, that's like
Minecraft graphics.
Speaker 4: The thing is, though, I'm kind of seeing a lot
of them now and so it's lost a little bit
of the luster.
Speaker 6: I will say this.
Speaker 4: I did get to check out the inside of one,
and they are really insane vehicles like tanks.
Speaker 6: Nope, asked the bench, what is best in life.
Speaker 4: Living? Nope, it is uh to drive your enemies before you. Yeah,
the jeeps asualt their fields and to hear the lamentations
of their women. I'm missed in the middle of that,
but that's what ConA says.
Speaker 6: Obrien.
Speaker 8: Oh, I was just kinda ask like Barbarian or Brian.
Speaker 6: No Conan O'Brien.
Speaker 4: He's always said, drive your nies before you. Stealers have
and you know, hear the lamentations of their women. That's
a classic cone In line. Right after he does like
the scissors with his hips. Yeah, I could do better.
Speaker 7: I forgot what we were talking about because someone's trying
to say that Texas, Like Bilbo in the chat said,
why do people want to bring a massive longhorn across
the country to the Games?
Speaker 5: Georgia is not across the country from Texas. That is
not across the country. That's some tea geography right there.
Speaker 8: It's almost halfway.
Speaker 7: Okay, almost halfway across the country is not the same thing.
Speaker 4: It has to been favorite late night host pastor present
for me. Yeah, Conan was always the only one that
I watched Craig for they are yeah, Hider, that was
