00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.

2
00:00:03,799 --> 00:00:07,919
Speaker 2: Hasday Hester and Hester got it far on a pot.

3
00:00:07,879 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: From carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:18,839
other on the air control live from the Raising Kine Studio,

5
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:20,359
It's Off the Bench.

6
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,359
Speaker 3: Welcome back in our number three, a Friday edition of

7
00:00:54,359 --> 00:00:56,359
Off the Bench, Taylor Sharp and the host show Landra

8
00:00:56,439 --> 00:01:01,560
Villar y Alcasis bizzally along as well. Speaking of the

9
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,200
Bomp music, the only person trying to sabotage O TB

10
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:08,799
is our guy Joel. Joel thumps that guy.

11
00:01:09,079 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: We were walking out yesterday and he saw this again.

12
00:01:12,359 --> 00:01:15,000
Oh wait, I don't think we told you this. So

13
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:19,359
after the show yesterday, Mickey Loomis comes up and he's like,

14
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,640
they let y'all out of Baton Rouge and starts like laughing,

15
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:23,200
or like.

16
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 4: They let you have a job, like.

17
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,079
Speaker 3: What jesus Mickey.

18
00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:32,359
Speaker 4: So, Mickey, Mickey might be a O TBP one.

19
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: We don't know, but I'm sure he loves me.

20
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,159
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's heard me talk about I

21
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,840
don't think he would have liked what I had to

22
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:39,400
say about him.

23
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 3: I'm sure you appreciate my Mickey Loomis fact checks.

24
00:01:42,599 --> 00:01:45,519
Speaker 2: When we were leaving, Joel was leaving also, and I

25
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,799
was like, Hey, maybe we can get you on like

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,120
next week to recap the Senior Bowl and what you

27
00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:53,840
saw like in terms of scouting for the Saints and

28
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,359
blah blah blah. And he was like, Oh, I'd love to.

29
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,920
I'm like, I'm sure he would. I'm sure you would.

30
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:01,879
Speaker 3: Here aware it is all right here now our number

31
00:02:01,879 --> 00:02:03,760
three guys, We're gonna have a little bit of fun.

32
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,319
We'll do an early Super Bowl talk here real quick.

33
00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:08,919
Super Bowl next Sunday, but Jake's gonna be out all

34
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,240
week next week, so kind of want to do like

35
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,719
initial thoughts here on this game. I got some fun

36
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:17,520
facts for you guys. You're gonna love well have jace

37
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:19,719
Lejarn of grid Iron Football coming up at nine to

38
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,639
fifteen to win the next segment talk their All Star Bowl,

39
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:26,120
some of the top players coming up into the high

40
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,120
school ranks, and then kind of get his thoughts on

41
00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:30,919
all things LSU and then we'll close it out like

42
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,919
we do every day with ass the bench. But obviously

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,120
Super Bowl next Sunday, Patriots versus Seahawks. Nightmare scenario for me, guys,

44
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:42,080
probably to my two least favorite teams in the entire NFL.

45
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,479
And it's weird, like I hated the Patriots for twenty

46
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,840
years of my life because of Tom Brady. I love

47
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:52,199
Tom Brady now and I still hate the New England Patriots.

48
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,479
I think it's a Belichick thing. Not a big Belichick fan,

49
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,159
not a huge Robbertcraft fan either. But look, the Seahawks

50
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:00,719
had the tougher path. I mean, on pay they probably

51
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,120
have the advantage here and they're they're pretty good sized

52
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:06,000
favor favorite for the Super Bowl, so that makes sense.

53
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:10,240
Everyone mentions the Patriots easy schedule, and then on the

54
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,199
flip side of things, the Seahawks had a tough path

55
00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:14,159
and they always find a way to win. Now, the

56
00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:16,759
Patriots in the playoffs, you look at the teams they played,

57
00:03:16,759 --> 00:03:22,000
They're all top five defenses, So I mean that they

58
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:24,240
didn't have an easy path to get here by any means.

59
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,400
As far as the regular season. Now, when you go

60
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:29,840
look at what the Patriots did in the regular season,

61
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,719
they played seventeen games. Three of the coaches they played

62
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,560
did not get fired, So fourteen out of the seventeen

63
00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:43,960
coaches that they faced last year got fired. Dave Canalis

64
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,879
with the Panthers he's back, Kellen Moore with the Saints

65
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:50,400
obviously he's not going anywhere, and then somehow Zach Taylor

66
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:53,159
with the Bengals. Those are the three coaches they faced

67
00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:56,240
last year that kept their job. So it was easy

68
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,240
in the regular season. That was kind of the knock

69
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,280
on Drake Mays. You know, when they were talk abou

70
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,039
who's gonna win the MVP, it was the Patriots had

71
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,520
beaten one team with a five hundred or better record,

72
00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:08,280
it was the Buffalo Bills, and they went one and

73
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,960
one in that So that's kind of a wash. Like

74
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:16,720
maybe I'll eat my words on this. I'm just I'm

75
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:18,839
one of those people that she's like, you're gonna have

76
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,360
to show me you can do it at the highest

77
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:23,120
level before I take back the things I say about you.

78
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,920
I understand he's been great. Sam Donald's gotta go do

79
00:04:25,959 --> 00:04:28,319
it one more time. Sam Donald wins this game coming

80
00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:30,959
up on Sunday. I'm on board. I'm a Sam Donald believer,

81
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,160
no question about it.

82
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: Now.

83
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 3: I think the team around Sam Donald is phenomenal. I

84
00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:38,040
do think New England has the advantage of quarterback, but

85
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,839
every other spot seems to favor Seat in a big way.

86
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,879
I think that with Zach Sharpenayott it does take a hit,

87
00:04:45,959 --> 00:04:48,600
but power running game. Kenneth Walker is one of the

88
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:49,399
best in the business.

89
00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:49,639
Speaker 4: Now.

90
00:04:49,959 --> 00:04:52,319
Speaker 3: The Patriots are great as well. I think Treyvon Henderson

91
00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:54,120
was the best rookie running back in the NFL. I

92
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,240
think he's going to wind up being the best rookie

93
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,800
running back out of that draft class when it's all

94
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,680
said and done. Or and Andre Stevenson really good player.

95
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,800
But the power running game the Seahawks have following that

96
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,959
big offensive line, letting Sam Donald just I mean Sam

97
00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:11,000
Donald could take over games, he could manage games. But

98
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,079
Sam Donald does exactly what he needs to do in

99
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:15,519
that offense, and that's why he's been so successful. Like

100
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,800
you go look at the game against the Seahawks and

101
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,120
nobody's like, oh, they dominated him forty one to six.

102
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,519
Sam Donald was twelve of sixteen for one hundred and

103
00:05:24,519 --> 00:05:27,040
twenty four yards in that game. Sometimes he doesn't have

104
00:05:27,079 --> 00:05:28,399
to do it all, and that's a credit to the

105
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,720
rest of the Seahawks team. Like when the Saints traded

106
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,800
Rashid Shaheed first few weeks, like Shaheed didn't do anything

107
00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:36,959
all right, Okay, no big deal, and he really hasn't

108
00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:39,959
done a ton in the receiving game. Rashid chi Heat

109
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,439
has been a godsend for that team on special teams,

110
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:46,120
special teams, defense, running the football that wins games where

111
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,319
you and Seahawks do all three of those things very

112
00:05:48,399 --> 00:05:51,800
very well. So they obviously have the advantage in this game.

113
00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:54,560
But I do think New England has the quarterback advantage.

114
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,839
I understand Sam Donald's been great, he's a good story,

115
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,480
but what I've seen from Drake May and or two

116
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,879
is is a lot to be excited about. But here's

117
00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:07,040
a nugget for you guys.

118
00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 5: Two.

119
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:13,319
Speaker 3: Actually, the New England Patriots are the first team in

120
00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:16,160
NFL history to go a perfect nine and oh on

121
00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:19,800
the road. That's regular season and postseason, so they can

122
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,199
win away from their backyard, which is important here in

123
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:27,279
the Super Bowl. Also, a landra is gonna love this one.

124
00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:31,639
Every time this century the Super Bowl is played between

125
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,920
two teams, one traveling East and one traveling West. The

126
00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:41,399
team traveling West wins. And this goes back how it

127
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:43,480
goes back to two thousand and two. This is little

128
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,600
graphic every single time, Like I.

129
00:06:46,519 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 4: Don't understand how people come up with that stat.

130
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,879
Speaker 3: When the Super Bowl was in New Orleans in two

131
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:54,680
thousand and two, the Rams traveled east, the Patriots traveled west.

132
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,759
They won. Patriots are traveling west in this game and

133
00:06:57,759 --> 00:06:59,240
they're a perfect nine and oh on the road.

134
00:06:59,439 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 4: I don't get that. I give find that.

135
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 3: I gave Hunt this stat before the playoffs even started.

136
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,680
I told him to bet on the Seahawks. He didn't

137
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,399
believe me, he said, he's what was the one about

138
00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:12,120
the Pope's that's the one. That's what I'm getting at.

139
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,319
So in two thousand and six there was a new pope.

140
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:17,319
It was Pope Benedict. Seattle Seahawks made the Super Bowl

141
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:23,319
that year. Twenty fourteen, new Pope, The Seattle Seahawks made

142
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,439
the Super Bowl that year. What happened this summer boom?

143
00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:28,040
New Pope, Seattle Seahawks back in the super Bowl. That's

144
00:07:28,079 --> 00:07:30,319
three times in a row, guys. And it's not like, oh,

145
00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:31,959
it's every four years every No, it's just when the

146
00:07:31,959 --> 00:07:33,639
pope dies and they elect a new one. Yeah, it's

147
00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:36,040
at random, and it still works out in Seahawks favor.

148
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 4: That's God giving you a lot right.

149
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,279
Speaker 3: Well, now, if you're wondering, oh, the Seahawks are gonna win.

150
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:41,920
They're one and one in the in the last two,

151
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,040
so I mean they they lost in O six. They

152
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,879
won in the previous time. It was against the Denver Broncos,

153
00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:50,439
so they're won in one in that game. But they

154
00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:52,639
make it every time there's a new pope. So next

155
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:54,279
time we have a new pope, Oh, sprinkle a little

156
00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:56,399
bit of money on the Seattle Seahawks to win the

157
00:07:56,399 --> 00:08:00,680
Super Bowl. But yeah, nightmare scenario for me. Team wise.

158
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,519
I've never been a fan of either of these teams.

159
00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:06,600
And if you think that you don't want to watch

160
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:09,240
this Super Bowl or you're not interested, I want you

161
00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:13,839
to think about how Tyler Lockett feels. Tyler Lockett spent

162
00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:16,480
a decade on the Seattle Seahawks, and it wasn't like

163
00:08:16,519 --> 00:08:18,360
he was a scrub. Like he was a Pro bowler

164
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,560
in twenty fifteen. So he was in Seattle from twenty

165
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,560
fifteen until twenty twenty four. Last season, last time the

166
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,279
Seahawks went to the Super Bowl was fourteen, so he

167
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,000
missed that last Super Bowl. Went on an incredible ten

168
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,440
year run with them left in the offseason they go

169
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:37,480
back to the Super Bowl. He had been there two

170
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:40,039
years and was a season short of two Super Bowls.

171
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:42,519
If that's not bad enough that two teams he played

172
00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:44,440
for this year with the Titans and the Raiders, who

173
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,279
are probably the two worst teams in the NFL, but

174
00:08:47,919 --> 00:08:49,960
to off a break for him as far as this

175
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,360
game goes, though, I keep wanting to pick the Patriots

176
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,960
in this game. And I don't know why because I

177
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,799
think Seattle's better. That may change next week, but I

178
00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:03,320
trust Mike Rabel and I understand it's his first year

179
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,919
in New England. But you got to remember, this is

180
00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:09,480
a Mike Vrabel that played under Belichick, he played with Brady,

181
00:09:09,639 --> 00:09:11,759
He's played in these big games. He's won these big

182
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:15,080
games as a player, obviously not a coach. But when

183
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,960
he gets hired on with the Tennessee Titans, he takes

184
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,559
them to the one seed. Not only are they the

185
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,799
one seed, they're the one seed with Ryan Tannehill as

186
00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:28,600
their quarterback, and they had every opportunity to go to

187
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,519
the Super Bowl. Some things didn't fall their way. But

188
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,559
think about the Tennessee Titans being the one seed in

189
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,840
the AFC with Ryan Tannehill as their quarterback. Since the

190
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,960
Titans moved on from Ryan Tannehill a few years ago.

191
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,039
He hasn't even been back in the NFL. And look

192
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:45,200
where they're at now. They're a bottom feeder. They've been

193
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,000
one of the worst teams in the NFL over this

194
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,399
last three to four year span. And here's Mike Rabel

195
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,519
taking the Patriots to the Super Bowl in year one

196
00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:55,000
in New England. I mean, he was the talk of

197
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,679
the town last year, right, Like, there were a lot

198
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,320
of people down here in New Orleans was like, hey,

199
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,200
could you go after Mike Rabel. The Patriots snatched him

200
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,679
up so quick. He was the first coach off the

201
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,039
board last year. I mean, that's how much they believed

202
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,440
in him and what he could do in this city.

203
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,120
And you know, it's like, if you're a Patriots fan,

204
00:10:12,159 --> 00:10:13,759
you're loving this. If you're a fan of any other

205
00:10:13,799 --> 00:10:15,759
fan base, you hate this. Because think about all the

206
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:19,159
teams out there, yes, the teams I routed for in general,

207
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,519
that haven't made it to the Super Bowl. You see

208
00:10:22,519 --> 00:10:26,159
the Patriots form a dynasty, win six super Bowls. The

209
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,200
greatest player in NFL history leaves wins the Super Bowl. Elsewhere,

210
00:10:29,399 --> 00:10:32,360
you fire your Hall of Fame coach, you burn it

211
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:34,159
all to the ground. And you build it right back

212
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,039
up and get back to the super Bowl before some

213
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,799
of these teams even had an opportunity to go. Think

214
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,840
about how well run of an organization that is. And

215
00:10:41,879 --> 00:10:44,000
you can say what you want about Robert Kraft and

216
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,320
all this. I understand everybody you know gives all the

217
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,080
flowers to the Rooney family and the Steelers for how

218
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,120
that organization's ran. And it's great. I don't think there's

219
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,120
a better run organization in the NFL than the New

220
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,639
England Patriots. And I don't even like the Patriots, but

221
00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:01,720
what they have done, like, let's tear it down to

222
00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:07,120
the base and build it back up almost perfectly in

223
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,480
such a short period of time. I I mean, Belichick's

224
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,120
only been gone two years. Like a lot of people

225
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,200
forget about that because he's been in the media so

226
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,039
much and he's done so much since then. They had

227
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,440
Girodmeo for a year last year, it didn't work out,

228
00:11:17,639 --> 00:11:19,679
it got rid of him. They hired Mike Vrabel. This

229
00:11:19,759 --> 00:11:22,320
is year one for Vrabel. So Belichick's only been gone

230
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,080
two years. So you move on from Brady and Belichick

231
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,200
two years later you're back in the super Bowl. That

232
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,480
gets a lot of opposing fan base is Matt. I'm

233
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:32,799
sure the Patriots love it though. But you know, we'll

234
00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:35,720
get into this a lot more next week, but just

235
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,000
wanted to kind of give surface level thoughts there. I

236
00:11:38,039 --> 00:11:40,600
don't know why I keep leaning Patriots in this game.

237
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,879
I do think Seattle is the better team, but we'll

238
00:11:42,879 --> 00:11:46,279
break it down more as next week goes along. Okay,

239
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,080
we're gonna take a quick time out right now. Coming

240
00:11:49,159 --> 00:11:51,200
up on the other side of this break, I got

241
00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:53,519
Jace Lejeern if Gridin football is gonna hop one. They

242
00:11:53,519 --> 00:11:57,080
hosted an All American Bowl for Gritar football a few

243
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,080
weeks back. We'll talk about some of the top prospects

244
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,360
in that game aims to watch and I'll just get

245
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,480
his thoughts on all things LSU. That's coming up next

246
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,120

00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:32,360

00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,840
Jace Ljerne from grid Aron Football Jas. How are you

277
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:50,279

278
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 9: Doing good? Taylor's been a minute. Hope you're having yourself

279
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:54,639
a good new year so far.

280
00:13:54,919 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 3: Dude, it has been a minute. I missed you. It's

281
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,600
no more episcopal football, Like what are what are we

282
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:03,679
gonna do with our lives here? But speaking of football,

283
00:14:03,759 --> 00:14:05,639
you guys have grit ourn football y'all. A little all

284
00:14:05,639 --> 00:14:08,519
star game a few weeks back. How'd it go?

285
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:09,879
Speaker 2: Oh?

286
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 9: Very busy? It was a very busy event, I could.

287
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,480
I could say that for sure, Taylor. We had about

288
00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:19,919
one hundred sixty senior players and attendance from five different

289
00:14:19,919 --> 00:14:22,519
states across the country, and we had four different teams,

290
00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:23,799
so we actually had like a little bit of a

291
00:14:23,799 --> 00:14:28,200
tournament elimination for the four teams, so we had three games,

292
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,039
including a championship round. So it was a lot of

293
00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:34,559
great football. Was at LSU Louisian Christian University, and we

294
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,279
actually had a junior high game as well. That way

295
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,399
we can cover a lot of the players that are

296
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,480
on the rise as well from sixth or eighth grade.

297
00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:44,000
But we also had the senior game that's really our

298
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,639
main event through that day on December thirtieth. But it

299
00:14:47,039 --> 00:14:47,639
was a great event.

300
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 3: Who standouts we have? Man, you'll got any big time

301
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,200
players out there?

302
00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 9: Oh? Yeah, we have a lot of talent. This year,

303
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,519
it was plenty of really great talents. And what the

304
00:14:57,559 --> 00:14:59,879
talent has been better every single year since I've been

305
00:14:59,879 --> 00:15:02,399
there at grid Iron Football, and in this year, we've

306
00:15:02,879 --> 00:15:05,080
actually had a lot of LSU fans will probably remember

307
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,759
the last name Randall, Marcus Randall. His son actually played

308
00:15:08,799 --> 00:15:11,639
in our bowl game, Cayden Randall. And you know, he

309
00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:14,399
actually was a defensive MVP of the bowl game. He

310
00:15:14,519 --> 00:15:16,759
was making a bunch of hard hits throughout the game.

311
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,639
He's actually signed to play at Southeastern Louisiana University. Uh,

312
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,399
we had a scambia in Pensacola. That's actually where Emitt

313
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,200
Smith played high school football at. They had a defensive

314
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,480
lineman Andrew in Battle. He was pretty much unblockable the

315
00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:35,080
entire game. And Marshall South Florida. Some of those types

316
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,440
of schools are looking at him. Johnny McCarty, he's actually

317
00:15:38,519 --> 00:15:41,519
receiver from Saint Michael High School right here in Baton Verge.

318
00:15:41,799 --> 00:15:44,360
He actually made a little bit of national headlines. It

319
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:50,639
was actually when you got moss right, yeah right, you know,

320
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,639
one handed catch and pretty acrobat catch as well. But yeah,

321
00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:57,840
we had a lot of great players. Uh that took

322
00:15:57,879 --> 00:16:01,399
place Zion Lee. He's at You're gonna play football at

323
00:16:01,399 --> 00:16:04,159
the Naval Academy and running back from Monkey High School.

324
00:16:04,279 --> 00:16:06,840
So we're with the talent. It just gets better and

325
00:16:06,879 --> 00:16:09,039
better each and every year. And these are gonna be

326
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,240
a lot of prospects that you might not hear about,

327
00:16:11,559 --> 00:16:14,759
you know, immelily. But because of the transfer portal, I

328
00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:17,320
think that's what this Green Iron Football Game really helps.

329
00:16:17,399 --> 00:16:19,919
You'll see these guys the next two or three years,

330
00:16:19,919 --> 00:16:22,080
and that's where we've seen from the bowl game of

331
00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:23,519
those guys going up the charts.

332
00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 10: Really.

333
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I'm glad you mentioned the portal because that

334
00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:28,759
kind of gets into what I want to talk about next. Look,

335
00:16:28,799 --> 00:16:31,039
obviously you know a lot of those guys, those are

336
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,360
the names to watch coming out throughout the high school ranks.

337
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,120
But Jason, as far as college football goes, transition a

338
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,440
little bit to LSU, like it has been all about

339
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,000
the transfer portal for about three or four weeks now

340
00:16:42,039 --> 00:16:45,360
really since it opened, and LSU finishes with the whale

341
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,240
of a class, I mean, number one class in the country,

342
00:16:47,279 --> 00:16:51,679
forty two transfer portal signees. If I had to ask you, like, okay,

343
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,759
letter grade, what do you give Lane Kiffin and the

344
00:16:54,799 --> 00:16:56,759
staff first transfer portal class.

345
00:16:57,279 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 9: Oh, I have to give themselves an a. I mean

346
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:02,759
just what they were able to do, especially because you

347
00:17:02,879 --> 00:17:06,000
come into a situation like Lane and you have a

348
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
lot of players that are leaving and you're trying to

349
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,799
figure out which guys are coming back and staying and

350
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:12,200
and you have a lot of holes you have to

351
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,279
fill in your roster when you're whenever you have a

352
00:17:14,279 --> 00:17:18,000
coach and change, especially uh you're being coming a new

353
00:17:18,039 --> 00:17:20,400
coach of the of the team. But really have to

354
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,880
give itself today with the class. I mean, I don't

355
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,000
think you can really do a better job considering the

356
00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:28,680
circumstances that Lane Kiffen and the staff did.

357
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 11: Uh.

358
00:17:29,279 --> 00:17:32,079
Speaker 9: They pretty much reloaded at you know, pretty much every

359
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,559
position you look on offensively and defensively. And you look

360
00:17:35,599 --> 00:17:38,759
at they got three really talented quarterbacks. Obviously Sam Levitt,

361
00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:42,319
you know, leads the headlines the class and the wide receivers.

362
00:17:42,519 --> 00:17:45,480
I'm really interested in spring football. Would go see the

363
00:17:45,559 --> 00:17:48,440
Tigers in the spring proasses, they wich which of these

364
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,200
receivers stands out? Because they got themselves like nine of

365
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,759
receivers from the transfer portal. And you know, I think

366
00:17:53,759 --> 00:17:55,599
they did a better job and the offensive line was

367
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,279
obviously weakness last year, and I think they got themselves

368
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,559
at least two starters from that group when we talk

369
00:18:01,599 --> 00:18:05,920
about you know, Jordan Seton and Devin Harper. But I'm

370
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,519
actually more excited to about the defensive side and the

371
00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:12,680
additions that got on that side of football. I mean, Princeville,

372
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,960
you my mio, and I mean there's a big time

373
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,279
pickup for them on the defensive end, and really the

374
00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:18,720
two Ole Miss guys, him and TJ.

375
00:18:18,839 --> 00:18:19,279
Speaker 6: Dottary.

376
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,519
Speaker 9: I think it's gonna be two big time pickups for

377
00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:24,480
the Tigers and Todd Benneville and in the secondary as well.

378
00:18:24,599 --> 00:18:27,440
Say you go with a really great group in the

379
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,279
back end of the defense. I'm really excited about the

380
00:18:29,319 --> 00:18:30,440
transfi world class.

381
00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:33,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned the defense, you know, to

382
00:18:33,599 --> 00:18:35,319
start the show, was talking about a little bit earlier,

383
00:18:35,319 --> 00:18:38,119
like the top transfers. Ti Bennefield might be my favorite

384
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,599
player in this transfer portal class. Like I understand, it

385
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,200
wasn't maybe not a huge need because you already had

386
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,240
Deshaun Spears and Tamarcus Cooley, but that's going to mean

387
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,440
so much to your defense because he's so versatile. I

388
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,079
love that signing. So let's get away from individual players.

389
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,119
Maybe look at uh position groups as a whole. Like

390
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,400
obviously kicking in the staff, I mean I just mentioned

391
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,720
forty two players. They they dominated in every aspect, But

392
00:19:01,079 --> 00:19:04,400
is there one position group like remember last year's edge rusher, Right,

393
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,160
you brought in Pyeburn Butler, Patrick Payton. I mean, is

394
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,680
there any position group this year? You're like, yeah, all

395
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:10,920
those guys can make an impact.

396
00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I really I can look away from

397
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,720
the wide receiver position because you look at some of

398
00:19:17,759 --> 00:19:19,480
these guys, right, you have a little bit of a

399
00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:22,079
mix of everything. Because you know, Lane Kiffin likes to speed.

400
00:19:22,279 --> 00:19:24,440
He's got these speedy guys at the wide receiver position.

401
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,920
He's also got some length at the receiver position too,

402
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,319
and it's improven commodities as well. So now you look

403
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,720
at I mean, Winston Watkin is another old miss guy,

404
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,119
Trey Wilson from Florida, I mean Jackson Harrison. Why Chase Brown.

405
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,480
I pretty much figured that at least it's gonna be

406
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,319
hard to really take a guess who's going to really

407
00:19:42,319 --> 00:19:44,680
be starting. But I feel like Jase Brown's gonna at

408
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,960
least be one of those starting receivers in that rotation

409
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:48,880
or you know, at least going to be in the mix.

410
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,839
So I feel like at the wide receiver position, I

411
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,559
know the coaches really like Roman mother Shiit as welcome Troy,

412
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,599
So that really stands out to me the most when

413
00:19:57,599 --> 00:20:01,279
we talk about a position group, and and really you

414
00:20:01,319 --> 00:20:03,720
got to also commend them for the quarterback position because

415
00:20:03,759 --> 00:20:06,799
for a while there was no scholarship quarterback on the roster,

416
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,319
and I feel like you have three guys. I mean,

417
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,839
Sam Levitt, you've seen what he can do at the

418
00:20:11,839 --> 00:20:15,839
Arizona State and going back was at the track record

419
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,240
of getting Arizona State quarterbacks has been pretty good for LSU.

420
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,319
But you look at the back of quarterbacks as well,

421
00:20:21,559 --> 00:20:24,680
in Long Street from USC and Landing Car from ME.

422
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,480
I like both those two guys as well once Levit

423
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,680
does leave. So I mean, I think, really look at

424
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,240
the two skilled positions. Here is what really drew my interest.

425
00:20:33,279 --> 00:20:35,799
And we talk about this transfer port class'd, I'm glad.

426
00:20:35,599 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 3: You talked about the quarterback spot. Like, look, Sam Levitt

427
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,359
was my favorite quarterback in the transfer portal. I mean,

428
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,839
I think, you know fully healthy, most people probably feel

429
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,599
the same way him and Brendan Soarsby, Like, I think

430
00:20:44,599 --> 00:20:47,400
those two guys are interchangeable. I understand that, you know,

431
00:20:47,559 --> 00:20:50,680
lsu Vans were upset when when Soresby big Texas Tech.

432
00:20:50,799 --> 00:20:52,640
That was early on in the process, and like if

433
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,319
you followed Soresby, like it was always going to be

434
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,079
Texas Tech. But you know, you wind up getting Levitt,

435
00:20:58,079 --> 00:21:01,680
who not going to participate in spring ball. But I'm

436
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,079
not concerned about that as much like he could still

437
00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:06,640
throw with the receivers, he could still learn the playbook.

438
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,359
He's just not gonna be out there full contact, which

439
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,079
what quarterbacks in full contact are in spring anyways. But

440
00:21:12,319 --> 00:21:14,039
as far as the other two guys go, who'sa on

441
00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:16,480
long Street? Land and Clark? What do you make of

442
00:21:16,519 --> 00:21:18,960
both of those guys because they're both talented, but you

443
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,400
see Whusa on Long Street? I mean, the former five

444
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,400
star didn't play a ton last year. I believe he

445
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,559
played in about three games last year for USC. Then

446
00:21:26,759 --> 00:21:29,720
you have Land and Clark from Elon, an under recruited guy,

447
00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:32,599
but he's a baller. His tapes impressive. He put up

448
00:21:32,599 --> 00:21:35,200
a heck of a lot of numbers last year at Elon.

449
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,359
I think the spring's gonna be huge for both of

450
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,279
them because they're battling for that number two spot and

451
00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:43,480
you're a playaway from Sam Levitt re injuring that foot

452
00:21:43,559 --> 00:21:45,079
to getting in there. Do you what do you think

453
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,799
of the battle that's gonna happen between those two?

454
00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 9: Noah, I agree. I think really the backup quarterback position

455
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,960
is gonna be really looked at even more than it

456
00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:55,720
usually is, just because you talked about you know, Levit's

457
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,960
injury history. But yeah, it's gonna be interesting to watch.

458
00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:01,119
I mean, in the good thing is all three of

459
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,359
these guys, if you know, they're pretty much interchangeable what

460
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:05,359
Lane Kivin wants to do.

461
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 5: I mean, these are two.

462
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 9: Guys that were dual threat guys. They can beat you,

463
00:22:09,079 --> 00:22:11,240
They can beat defenses with their arm, they can beat

464
00:22:11,279 --> 00:22:13,759
defenses with their legs. Those are the type of quarterbacks

465
00:22:13,759 --> 00:22:17,599
that obviously that Kiffin would like in his offense. And

466
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,119
you saw, I mean you pretty much trust h Charlie White,

467
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,119
you trust Lane Kiffen their quarterback violation because you saw

468
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,640
what they took a chance on trend at Chamis and

469
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,279
you saw what happened there and then you know landing

470
00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:32,519
card definitely gives me a lot of those you know

471
00:22:32,559 --> 00:22:35,359
type of similarities as a guy that's you know, really

472
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,119
under the radar. But really, I mean, I think it's

473
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,119
a perfect fit for his offense. And if he's on

474
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,160
Long Street, you know his ability as well running the

475
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,359
football and being a five star quarterback too. So seeing

476
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,119
both these two guys in spring football's really important because

477
00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:51,640
I truly believe there's a good chance you'll see you know,

478
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,440
one or even both of them a lot this year

479
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,599
because of uh, you know, Levitt and his injury history

480
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,200
in the past. But I really like all three pickups.

481
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,759
Tell what you did getting those quarterbacks.

482
00:23:02,039 --> 00:23:04,079
Speaker 3: Chase Joon of Gridain Football our guest right now. I'm

483
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,720
glad you mentioned Lane and Clark kind of being an

484
00:23:05,759 --> 00:23:07,480
under the radar guy. That's where I kind of want

485
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,440
to go next. I mean, you know, like take take

486
00:23:09,519 --> 00:23:11,920
quarterback out of it. You know, all the big time guys.

487
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,759
Is there a guy that you know, maybe a lot

488
00:23:13,839 --> 00:23:15,640
of people aren't talking about that you think can flash

489
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:16,240
for these guys.

490
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean there's a couple of guys on here

491
00:23:20,519 --> 00:23:24,480
for example, I mean there is there's Dylan Jones from Wiscott, Wisconsin,

492
00:23:24,599 --> 00:23:26,319
you know, as a running back. We haven't really talked

493
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,559
too much of the running mass because you you kind

494
00:23:28,559 --> 00:23:30,640
of know what you get at the top of that

495
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,640
pecking order coming back and Kayden Durham and and obviously

496
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,279
Harlem Barry, but you need some depth there as well

497
00:23:37,279 --> 00:23:40,200
at that position. So I think lsu I mean that

498
00:23:40,519 --> 00:23:42,599
kind of went on our notice or under the radar.

499
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,839
We're getting that some of those guys at the running

500
00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:47,519
back position, and and Gilry from du Tauh and Rod

501
00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:50,039
Ganey from Charlotte, So those gonna be guys look at.

502
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,839
And uh, Jordan Ross, I think he's another guy to

503
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,559
kind of look at from Tennessee. Uh, And I think

504
00:23:55,599 --> 00:23:57,279
a change of pace and change the scenery for him

505
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,079
is gonna be really good. But this is a guy

506
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,799
with plenty of talent him and he was a five

507
00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:03,880
star coming out of high school. And now I mean,

508
00:24:04,039 --> 00:24:06,680
I think he can really be into rotation. So watch

509
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,599
out for some of those guys on the defensive line.

510
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,440
We all know about Princeville, but some of these other

511
00:24:11,519 --> 00:24:15,160
guys like like Jordan Ross and Leek Blocked and guys

512
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,519
like that Achilles Woods. I'll try I'll probably keep an

513
00:24:18,559 --> 00:24:19,839
eye on them as well.

514
00:24:20,279 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 3: All right, Jason, one more for you. You know, I

515
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,839
was just a second ago talking about how Todd Bennerfield

516
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,400
might be my favorite player in this class. Like obviously,

517
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,440
you know, we all know about Levitt, but is there

518
00:24:29,559 --> 00:24:31,759
one guy in this class you're like, if somebody makes

519
00:24:31,759 --> 00:24:34,000
an immediate impact, it's this guy, Like, who's maybe your

520
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,039
favorite player they signed?

521
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I mean he's definitely one because you're looking

522
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,880
for somebody and he's I probably agree with you there,

523
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,799
because he's somebody that you can put in the star position.

524
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,400
You know, you can put him in the box, and

525
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,440
that's something that's a position that you know, LSU really

526
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,440
takes a lot of pride in at that star position.

527
00:24:53,599 --> 00:24:56,680
We get Harold Perkins in the year's past, so you

528
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,119
can line up Time Benningfield pretty much if you need

529
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,880
him in the you put them in, you know, as

530
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,880
a deep safety, you can put them there as well.

531
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,240
So his versatility I think is gonna be really huge

532
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,200
for the secondary. And this is really a strength for

533
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,839
this OLSE football team coming back. But I also really

534
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:13,359
like TJ.

535
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 5: Dottary.

536
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,519
Speaker 9: I mean I really like that pickup as well. I mean,

537
00:25:16,519 --> 00:25:18,519
he's won the leading tackers I think he believe he

538
00:25:18,599 --> 00:25:21,000
was lean tackle with the SEC last year, and you Pitt,

539
00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:24,640
you really place him with Devon Keys and with Weeks

540
00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:27,119
that that lineback and Creer is gonna be pretty scary,

541
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,200
and uh taking up t J. Dottary, that's that's a

542
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,119
really good pickup for this defense.

543
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 5: And play Baker Jace.

544
00:25:33,839 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 3: Year one before we get you out of here. Like

545
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,519
expectations for Lane Kiffin. I mean, after you put together

546
00:25:38,519 --> 00:25:40,799
this portal class is it? Is it playoffs or bush

547
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:41,240
You're one?

548
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, you don't. I mean you don't really want to

549
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,640
stay playoffs or bus you're one, But it kind of

550
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,559
almost feels like like it because you see what Indiana

551
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,839
has done in only two years, and you've seen what,

552
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,720
uh what other teams have done. It's just a sure

553
00:25:54,759 --> 00:25:57,440
amount of time because of the transfer portal, and it

554
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,119
was a little bit of a shorter window because you

555
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,759
got the expand play off and you can get these

556
00:26:01,759 --> 00:26:04,680
guys you can win right away in the transfer portal,

557
00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:07,480
so you know what to expect from Lane Kiff and offense.

558
00:26:07,519 --> 00:26:09,759
You know they won't score some points and I know

559
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,599
I have a question about that. And then you bring

560
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,079
Blake Baker back. You don't know how much you got

561
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,039
Blake Baker left when you're coaching staff. So to be

562
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,720
honest with you, it kind of does feel like, even

563
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,480
though this is year one, it does feel like a

564
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,400
playoff or bus And I know that the LSU fans are.

565
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,319
I've been pretty hungry for ls you get back into

566
00:26:28,319 --> 00:26:31,279
the playoffs. So a really a lot of proven talent

567
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,839
from the transfer portal and with this transfer portal class,

568
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,759
you can kind of see now that, Yeah, this is

569
00:26:37,759 --> 00:26:40,160
that type of year for all Is Shoe to make

570
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,240
the playoffs, and you know, I know that will be

571
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,079
a great first impression for Lane Kiff in his first year.

572
00:26:46,519 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 3: Jason Football Jays, thanks so much for hopping on with us.

to actually show up after being out there in mobile.

614
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,319
So Taylor Sharp here with the Elandra Villa Reale, Cassie Spizzally.

616
00:28:42,319 --> 00:28:44,640
call this morning. Sorry about that, Cassie. You can blame

617
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:45,559
Matt Flatt, not me.

618
00:28:47,799 --> 00:28:48,119
Speaker 5: Andandra.

619
00:28:48,279 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 3: You keep hestering me about this show.

620
00:28:51,359 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 4: I pester everybody about this.

621
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 3: The Traders. Okay, so get it off your chest. What

622
00:28:56,599 --> 00:28:56,839
is it?

623
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 4: Jacob Matt got it all?

624
00:28:58,799 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 2: Like, what do we have here? It's the best show

625
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,880
of all time and it's a great show. Okay, It's

626
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,640
like the best show on TV right now.

627
00:29:07,759 --> 00:29:08,359
Speaker 4: It really is.

628
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:08,759
Speaker 3: Okay.

629
00:29:09,319 --> 00:29:13,799
Speaker 2: So it's basically like a murder mystery clue type situation.

630
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,839
There's a bunch of people living in a mansion, Alan

631
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,000
Cummings mansion, and three of them are traders. This season

632
00:29:23,039 --> 00:29:26,119
there's a secret trader though, and nobody knew, not even

633
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,359
the audience knew who the trade the secret trader was. Yes,

634
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,960
and then so the traders know who each other are,

635
00:29:35,079 --> 00:29:37,119
but nobody else knows who it is. Every night they

636
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,799
kill somebody out of the they kill somebody off the castle.

637
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,839
And then every night there's also a round table traders included,

638
00:29:44,319 --> 00:29:45,599
where everybody is.

639
00:29:45,599 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 3: Like calling each other out each other out not like

640
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,400
that that seems like.

641
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: A perfect Yeah, it's so funny because everyone's so paranoid

642
00:29:54,279 --> 00:29:57,759
and they're so loud and so wrong, like they have

643
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,920
no idea who they are, and then they like make

644
00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:03,160
got stuff to convince themselves that somebody who's a faithful

645
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:03,799
as a trader.

646
00:30:03,839 --> 00:30:06,599
Speaker 4: It's so funny. Is the best show on TV right now?

647
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 10: Rob?

648
00:30:07,519 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 4: This guy Rob is on it.

649
00:30:09,359 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 2: He might be one of the I still think season

650
00:30:11,519 --> 00:30:14,759
one SuRie she was the best trader that I've seen,

651
00:30:15,079 --> 00:30:17,680
but Rob is giving her a run for her money.

652
00:30:17,759 --> 00:30:20,839
And Rob is also very attractive.

653
00:30:21,119 --> 00:30:22,759
Speaker 3: Okay, are these celebrities?

654
00:30:23,079 --> 00:30:28,839
Speaker 2: They are celebrities. They're like reality TV people. Yeah, so

655
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,079
they like separate them. So there's gamers so like Survivor

656
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,920
Big Brother stuff like that, and then there's like Daniel

657
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,200
Saine hashtag justice for Ron on here.

658
00:30:39,279 --> 00:30:40,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, justice for Ron.

659
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 2: They said he was a trader just because he was

660
00:30:42,519 --> 00:30:44,799
super quiet and he wasn't freak.

661
00:30:47,079 --> 00:30:50,359
Speaker 4: It is like housewives are on there too.

662
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 2: It's reality TV people, but the first season was like

663
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,200
half celebrities and then half normal people.

664
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:58,839
Speaker 3: Okay, so I.

665
00:30:58,839 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 4: Really liked that one because it was just so funny.

666
00:31:01,519 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think this is like one of the

667
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,400
most entertaining shows on TV right now.

668
00:31:05,559 --> 00:31:09,799
Speaker 3: So I know it's highly unlikely, but I guess it's possible.

669
00:31:09,839 --> 00:31:12,720
What happens if like there's three traders, four traders have

670
00:31:12,839 --> 00:31:14,880
many and like they all just get eliminated within the

671
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:15,759
first four weeks.

672
00:31:15,839 --> 00:31:18,119
Speaker 4: I don't know, like just hasn't happened yet.

673
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I guess it's possible.

674
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 2: It's just over faithful's like they split the money up

675
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,720
or something like that, because they're also doing challenges, right,

676
00:31:26,839 --> 00:31:29,359
and like every challenge you can win money toward the pot.

677
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 4: So like if there's a trade.

678
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,799
Speaker 2: And then like if there's two traders left or like

679
00:31:33,839 --> 00:31:36,000
three traders left, they can decide if they want to

680
00:31:36,039 --> 00:31:38,079
like throw each other under the bus or split it

681
00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:38,960
amongst themselves.

682
00:31:39,799 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 3: Cassie, it's great. Should we should we give should we

683
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:42,599
give Traders a show?

684
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:43,079
Speaker 5: What do you think?

685
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 10: I don't know.

686
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,319
Speaker 11: I I feel like I might like it, but I

687
00:31:48,319 --> 00:31:50,640
don't really watch like reality.

688
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 3: That's true, You're not You're not a big TV person anyways,

689
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,079
like in general, Oh.

690
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 11: No, I binge watch shows. I don't watch like reality TV.

691
00:31:57,839 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: See I love Uh, I like I like Love is

692
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,519
Blind Like that's that's that's a shame with like, I

693
00:32:03,519 --> 00:32:05,559
don't care who admits it. Look, I do hot yoga

694
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,359
and watch Love is Blind people. Okay, it's twenty twenty six.

695
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,880
I can do what I want. Yeah, And I hate

696
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,000
to tell you you're wrong though.

697
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,599
Speaker 4: No, I'm not. I don't care.

698
00:32:16,599 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 3: See she says Traders is the best show on TV.

699
00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:21,839
It's not the best show on TV.

700
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: Is the Pit?

701
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,039
Speaker 4: No, Traders is better?

702
00:32:24,279 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 3: I've never Okay, So the pit it takes place at

703
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,720
just like some generic Pittsburgh medical center. Okay, And they're

704
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,880
in like the trauma room, the operating center, like worse

705
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,680
are the worst? Right? The entire season is one bit

706
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,200
like season one episode one starts as at six am,

707
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,279
seven am, so like it takes you real time, and

708
00:32:41,279 --> 00:32:42,799
I mean they're this back to back to back, and

709
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,200
like they don't pull any punches either. It's not like

710
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:50,240
a grae anatomy where like everybody everybody lives. There's a

711
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,200
bunch of drama. No no, no, I mean the season one,

712
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,519
like you lose multiple people per episode. Like it's like

713
00:32:57,559 --> 00:32:59,759
it's like harditting, yeah, but it's it's not like a

714
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,759
it's not real. Well it's not real though, like it

715
00:33:02,799 --> 00:33:04,599
seems like it's real, but like they were still actors

716
00:33:04,599 --> 00:33:06,759
playing parts, you know what I mean. But like they

717
00:33:06,839 --> 00:33:10,039
had a mass shooting at a music festival in Pittsburgh

718
00:33:10,079 --> 00:33:12,640
and like that was two episodes worth of like bring it,

719
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,839
like it is like real life stuff. It's it's intense,

720
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,359
but I love it because there's like six or seven

721
00:33:19,359 --> 00:33:21,279
things happen in per episode. It's like you gotta go

722
00:33:21,319 --> 00:33:22,880
to each room and each room and it's just like

723
00:33:23,359 --> 00:33:24,680
it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Like

724
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,000
I love it so much that, like, Okay, a lot

725
00:33:28,039 --> 00:33:30,200
of people two bubb used to make fun of me

726
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,400
a lot because like I don't watch any TV shows,

727
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,480
Like I watch a ton of movies, no TV shows.

728
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,319
I couldn't get anything done around the house because of

729
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,880
this show, Like we would watch it every night in

730
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,680
my Victoria, you want to watch the pit like we're

731
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,799
watching it together, which trying to get that woman to

732
00:33:46,839 --> 00:33:50,079
watch any TV show with me is impossible. She's like, no,

733
00:33:50,119 --> 00:33:52,079
you'll just fall asleep, and I'm gonna watch it by myself.

734
00:33:52,079 --> 00:33:59,599
I'm like, then restart the episode, Victoria, You're gonna because

735
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,599
it's it's guys, It's something we could do together as

736
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,000
a couple, Okay, Like do I want to fall are?

737
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,880
Do I want to fall asleep three minutes after it starts? No, Okay,

738
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,840
I clearly have a condition. Okay, I don't want to

739
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,639
do that, but I do. I'm telling you, guys, I

740
00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:14,639
can like be wide awake. I will pick out the movie.

741
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,519
I will be excited for it. We turn it on

742
00:34:16,599 --> 00:34:19,920
three minutes in, I'm out for it for hours, like

743
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,280
and I'm not even tired when we start it, like

744
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,559
if it's seven thirty And Victoria's like, you want to

745
00:34:24,559 --> 00:34:26,719
start a movie, I'm like, no, I fall asleep. Can't

746
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,480
do it daytime movies only, Like I can't. I can't

747
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,360
do it. I've fallen asleep in movie theaters twice, like

748
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:33,880
during the movie.

749
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:34,119
Speaker 5: I can't.

750
00:34:34,119 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 3: I can't do it. It's just something about come on, it

751
00:34:37,519 --> 00:34:40,880
relaxes me. But so season two is out of the

752
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,400
pit and I'm scared to start it because there's only

753
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,119
four episodes and I'm like, I can't wait a week

754
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:48,000
for each. So like that's me, like I can't wait,

755
00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:51,320
Like I can't watch it episode by episode, week by week,

756
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,960
like I gotta have the whole season out. I gotta

757
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,679
binge it all of that. So, like Traders may be good.

758
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,119
I think Alundra's rolling on this one.

759
00:35:00,199 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 4: This is so good.

760
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,639
Speaker 2: And wait, Daniel did like he brings up a good point.

761
00:35:03,679 --> 00:35:06,840
I forgot about this. There has been times where like

762
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,960
they knock out like a trader or two, and they

763
00:35:09,639 --> 00:35:12,719
sometimes the traders can pick to make somebody in the

764
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,920
castle a Trader, or they'll bring in other people, like

765
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,679
they'll bring in like a surprise person.

766
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 4: I think they did that with Uh. I think her

767
00:35:21,559 --> 00:35:22,920
name is Kate from Below Deck.

768
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,119
Speaker 3: Victoria loves Below Deck. I've never watched it.

769
00:35:27,199 --> 00:35:28,079
Speaker 4: I never really got it.

770
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 3: She loves it. Okay, so you mentioned you mentioned a

771
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,519
secret Trader yeah, do the other Traders and then okay,

772
00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:36,960
so they don't.

773
00:35:37,119 --> 00:35:37,639
Speaker 4: They don't even know.

774
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 3: She were saying, like all the Traders know each other. Yeah,

775
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:40,760
but they don't even know that.

776
00:35:41,119 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 2: But this is the first season they did the secret Trader. Okay,

777
00:35:44,119 --> 00:35:46,480
but the three Traders didn't know.

778
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 3: Who it was the season three Season four?

779
00:35:48,599 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 4: Is this season four?

780
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 3: Season four?

781
00:35:50,079 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 5: Yeah?

782
00:35:51,039 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean.

783
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 4: Maybe this one is really good.

784
00:35:54,039 --> 00:35:56,159
Speaker 2: Season one is still the best to me, but like

785
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,119
this one is depending on how it goes the rest

786
00:35:59,159 --> 00:36:00,360
of the way.

787
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 4: This is like pretty good too.

788
00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 3: We we watched something Victoria made me watch something last year.

789
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,519
It's not that, but it's on Netflix. And it's like

790
00:36:10,559 --> 00:36:13,920
you're intentionally cat phishing the other members of this apartment complex.

791
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,599
Like well, everybody knows now you can be yourself, like

792
00:36:17,679 --> 00:36:19,800
all of you talk online. And the goal at the

793
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,719
end is like everybody has to vote, like if you're

794
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,079
you either got it, you're either voted out or at

795
00:36:25,119 --> 00:36:27,360
the end, they're like that person deserved it. Like so

796
00:36:27,679 --> 00:36:29,679
so each person votes on who wins the money. It

797
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,639
wasn't great, but like it's it's similar. So like some

798
00:36:32,679 --> 00:36:35,119
people choose to be their actual selves, like other people

799
00:36:35,159 --> 00:36:37,559
are like no, that's not you, right, and then some

800
00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:40,320
people are like, obviously not them, and then people think

801
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,119
it is like it's just it's based on your answers

802
00:36:42,119 --> 00:36:45,000
and stuff. But so, I mean it's it's similar. I'm

803
00:36:45,039 --> 00:36:47,519
not a huge fan of that, but I'll give this

804
00:36:47,559 --> 00:36:49,320
a shot. Victor has been wanting to watch it, like

805
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,199
even before you brought it up to me. She was like, hey,

806
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,840
there's a show called The Traders. I mean, apparently it's

807
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,639
the best show ever. So, I mean, we gotta it's

808
00:36:57,639 --> 00:36:58,000
so good.

809
00:36:58,039 --> 00:36:59,519
Speaker 4: I've been trying to get people to watch it for

810
00:36:59,599 --> 00:37:00,639
like a year and a half.

811
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 3: We got to check it out.

812
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 10: But so good.

813
00:37:03,119 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 3: Well, we'll give it a shot. Maybe if either of

814
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,119
you actually watched The pit No, okay, well I'm not

815
00:37:08,119 --> 00:37:12,599
watching this. Sorry, I guess I'm already.

816
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 10: Watching this show.

817
00:37:13,039 --> 00:37:13,639
Speaker 3: What are you watching?

818
00:37:14,159 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 10: Well, the new season of Bridgerton.

819
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,679
Speaker 11: Came out last year Bridgerton, but it's only it was

820
00:37:19,679 --> 00:37:22,639
only the first four episodes. Like I have to I

821
00:37:22,679 --> 00:37:25,599
watched what I watched all four episodes last night, right,

822
00:37:26,159 --> 00:37:28,880
but like I have to wait until the end of

823
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,039
February for the second half of the season to come out.

824
00:37:32,119 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 10: But I love Bridgards.

825
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:39,159
Speaker 3: So we use at our wedding the like bridesmaids walked

826
00:37:39,159 --> 00:37:42,159

Speaker 10: The music is so.

829
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 3: Because it was on Bridgerton. We we did that at

830
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,280
our wedding. Shortly after we got married, Victoria invited her

831
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,039
sister over. She's like, yeah, I'm cooking this big breakfast

832
00:37:55,119 --> 00:37:57,960
or whatever. Never really told me why her sister's there,

833
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,440
and like, I'm like, oh, okay, what's up. She's oh, we

834
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,239
came to watch the season premiere for Ridgerton. Yeah, Mike,

835
00:38:04,039 --> 00:38:07,079

836
00:38:07,199 --> 00:38:11,159
food just so y'all can watch the season premiere of Bridgerton.

837
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:11,599
Speaker 10: Yes.

838
00:38:11,679 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 3: I stayed in my run for like two hours. I

839
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:14,360
was like, what am I gonna do? What am I

840
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,119
gonna do in this situation where am I gonna get?

841
00:38:16,599 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 11: Yeah?

842
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,159
Speaker 3: And it was a Saturday. I'm like, store, it's Saturday,

into Bridgerton.

845
00:38:23,599 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 10: But I don't wake up earlier. But I would wake

846
00:38:25,519 --> 00:38:26,079
up to do that.

847
00:38:26,159 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 3: All right, we may give traders a shot. We'll see,

848
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,800

Cassie's Bazaly here and we've been rocking and rolling all

860
00:39:09,199 --> 00:39:12,880
morning long. We got one segment left. It's time for

861
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,480
a little bit of Ask the Bench. This first one

862
00:39:15,519 --> 00:39:20,400
is for Cassie. Ask the Bench Cassie's favorite lego sets.

863
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 11: Oh, I think I have to go with a Millennium Falcon,

864
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:27,480
so it's it's okay.

865
00:39:27,679 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 10: Yeah.

866
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 3: See I'm learning a lot about it with this whole Yeah.

867
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,599
Speaker 11: Yes, they are super expensive, so I usually asked for

868
00:39:34,639 --> 00:39:38,519
them for like Christmas, for my birthday, so I did.

869
00:39:38,599 --> 00:39:40,599
I got this one for my birthday, so I have

870
00:39:40,599 --> 00:39:43,360
no idea how much it was, but it's like it's

871
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,960
it's pretty big and like it's it's thick, so like

872
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,239
like there's so much inside of it.

873
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,079
Speaker 10: And that one took me a while. But that's like

874
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:52,039
my pride.

875
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,039
Speaker 3: To joy I was we were talking about a little

876
00:39:54,039 --> 00:39:57,840
bit earlier, went to the Lego store at Downtown Disney

877
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,039
when we went to Universal back and scept yeah, and

878
00:40:01,079 --> 00:40:02,280
you know, I mean we flew so I was like,

879
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,599
I'm not gonna buy anything big, like cause I got

880
00:40:04,679 --> 00:40:06,880
limited space in my suitcase. So we just went and

881
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,679
looked around. There was like some Star Wars when I

882
00:40:08,679 --> 00:40:10,400
don't even remember what it was. I'm not big on

883
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:11,039
Start Wars.

884
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 2: Cool.

885
00:40:12,039 --> 00:40:13,760
Speaker 3: Well, I walked in, I was like, oh, that looks

886
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,599
pretty cool. Let's see how much that is? Six hundred

887
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,400
dollars for that set, y'all.

888
00:40:18,159 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 11: Pass I refuse to spend like myself if I'm buying

889
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,320
for myself or super used to spend more than like

890
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:24,280
one hundred dollars on it.

891
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 3: Asked the bench most anticipated movie of the year, obviously

892
00:40:29,079 --> 00:40:32,840
Doublewares product. Were you doing hearing us? No, I'm big

893
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,920
on horror movies that there's a ton of them coming out.

894
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,719
I mean more to list right now any any of those.

895
00:40:38,199 --> 00:40:41,119
Everybody always says don't trust January and February horror movies

896
00:40:41,119 --> 00:40:42,960
because they were left over from the year before. See

897
00:40:43,079 --> 00:40:46,199
the Bankers in January and February. Like Friday the Thirteenth

898
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,440
came out in February back when I was in like

899
00:40:48,559 --> 00:40:50,880
seventh or eighth grade, like that one. That one's better

900
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:52,920
than the originals. I don't care what anyone says that

901
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,920
Friday the thirteenth is much better original Friday the thirteenth

902
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,440
not very good, like it's nostalgic, but like Jason's not

903
00:40:59,519 --> 00:41:02,440
even in it, like no, not not not that great

904
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,800
of a movie. So we're gonna skip on that one.

905
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:07,719
Ask the bench with he mash.

906
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 4: We didn't even answer.

907
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 2: The Odyssey is coming out this year this year, Yeah,

908
00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:17,039
I mean, I like any Christopher Nolan movie, so I'm like,

909
00:41:17,199 --> 00:41:20,239
I'm anticipating it, but also I'm not at the same time,

910
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,360
because like from the trailers, it just feels like maybe

911
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,159
Christopher Nolan might have his first miss of his career.

912
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,920
But also somebody said that Travis Scott is in it too,

913
00:41:32,199 --> 00:41:34,599
and I'm like, why is Travis Scott in The Odyssey?

914
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,280
Speaker 4: There's no reason for that.

915
00:41:37,159 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 2: So that kind of like is turning me off from it,

916
00:41:40,039 --> 00:41:44,199
but I still am looking forward to watch it.

917
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 11: Cassie is coming out, no, but I am looking forward

918
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,440
to Avengers Doomsday.

919
00:41:51,559 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, that's coming in November.

920
00:41:53,679 --> 00:41:57,159
Speaker 11: Yeah, so I mean the big Marvel Girl, big Star

921
00:41:57,199 --> 00:41:58,679
Wars girl Avengers legos up.

922
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 10: I would love of an Avenger's lego, said, they there's

923
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,519
not as many as Star Wars, but they're there.

924
00:42:07,599 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 3: I was telling you, like Victoria's big into the puzzles,

925
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,440
which I just kind of feel like are similar. Yeah,

926
00:42:12,599 --> 00:42:14,320
Like she'll sit there for like days at a time,

927
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:15,920
you know, like a few hours here, a few hours there,

928
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,719
and like build this puzzle and it's a massive and

929
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,960
then she immediately just tears it down and was like, okay,

930
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:21,199
time for the next one.

931
00:42:21,199 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 4: I'm like, Victoria, she doesn't even like frame them.

932
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 3: No, she'll leave them out for probably a day, just

933
00:42:26,519 --> 00:42:28,519
like sitting there. But no, she normally just takes them

934
00:42:28,519 --> 00:42:31,880
down starts on another one. I'm like, okay, well that's

935
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:36,840
that's a choice. Before I ask this, does anybody actually

936
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,119
know who is singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl?

937
00:42:40,199 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 11: No clue.

938
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 10: I feel like I've heard it but I can't remember.

939
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,599
Speaker 3: So somebody asked, is it going to go over the

940
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:49,480
allotted time? I don't know who is singing the national

941
00:42:49,559 --> 00:42:54,079
anthem at the Super Bowl. Oh it's Charlie Poot. Charlie Poot.

942
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,440
Charlie Poot could hit the notes, so I'm gonna say over.

943
00:42:58,679 --> 00:43:00,159
I don't know what the over under is. No, only

944
00:43:00,199 --> 00:43:02,519
it's about two and a half minutes to twenty somewhere

945
00:43:02,519 --> 00:43:02,800
in there.

946
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,119
Speaker 11: I don't think he'd go over. You know, he's really good,

947
00:43:05,199 --> 00:43:09,039
but I don't think he like overly holds out notes.

948
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,639
Speaker 3: Too long because I think a couple of years ago

949
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,920
Stapleton did it. Yeah, and everybody's like, oh, that's a

950
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,559
guarantee that it went over, and I don't think it did. Yeah,

951
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,599
I think it actually went under. That was like the

952
00:43:18,159 --> 00:43:20,840
the biggest surprise, Right, you've convinced me I'll filip it.

953
00:43:21,159 --> 00:43:23,639
I'll go under. Charlie Pooth gonna be quick faceted in

954
00:43:23,679 --> 00:43:31,760
a hurry with the national anthem, Ask the bitch? Are

955
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,119
y'all trashing? Full back one and QB one?

956
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 4: Yeah?

957
00:43:36,519 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 3: Yes and no?

958
00:43:37,199 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 2: Because I told them yesterday, I said no, if I'm

959
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,360
gonna be there, y'all better be there, Like I was

960
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:49,079
visibly irritated when they said they were gonna not come in.

961
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 3: But also like if we're just stating what actually happened,

962
00:43:52,679 --> 00:43:54,400
like we're just giving you the facts, like are we

963
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,360
actually are we trashing them or did they do it

964
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,119
to themselves? Because like we haven't made anything up, we

965
00:44:00,159 --> 00:44:04,920
haven't said here and like you know, exaggerated this whole thing.

966
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,239
They were all atomobile. They all got back roughly around

967
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,159
the same time. Flinnif's actually earlier and Elundra showed up

968
00:44:12,159 --> 00:44:14,320
and they didn't. I mean, I don't am I missing

969
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:14,920
anything here?

970
00:44:15,519 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 2: No, that's the those are facts. Those are objective facts.

971
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,920
The difference is I don't have like kids. I can't

972
00:44:23,519 --> 00:44:25,360
I can't be like, oh I need to see my kids,

973
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,519
which I get. I really understand that they were gone forever,

974
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,719
especially Jake, but like I.

975
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:35,079
Speaker 4: Don't, like, I don't have it like a I don't

976
00:44:35,079 --> 00:44:36,880
want to say excuse, but I don't have an excuse.

977
00:44:37,639 --> 00:44:42,599
Speaker 3: No, Well they did and they used it all right, guys.

978
00:44:42,679 --> 00:44:45,719
That'll that'll pretty much do it here for for Asadnchem,

979
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,320
I have about a minute left in the show. What

980
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,679
do you think? Jason Jern from grenawnd football hopping on

981
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:52,039
Ross Jackson.

982
00:44:52,199 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 5: Look.

983
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 3: Ross had a ton of articles coming out all week long.

984
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,400
And when I mean articles, I mean like articles thick boys,

985
00:44:59,639 --> 00:45:01,920
like they took a while to read, and I enjoyed

986
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,239
every bit of it. Like nobody's locked in on New

987
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:05,760
Orleans Saints quite like Rossa's.

988
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 11: Look.

989
00:45:06,039 --> 00:45:09,079
Speaker 3: We talked LSU football, We talked men's and women's basketball.

990
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:10,960
Here's the gist of that. The women are really good,

991
