Speaker 1: I'll start to what you want to present. Off the
bench with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert. Yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah, Off the bench with Jacob Hester and T
Bob aber.
Speaker 2: I got to come off the pitch.
Speaker 1: Now here's Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Client something privilege? What's happening y'all? Welcome back to O
T B or number D Black Monday going on right now?
So am I wrong? Okay? So am I wrong? Is
the whole list only five coaches right now? We have
Robert Salah, we have Dinnis and these guys just fired
this year. Dennis Allen iber flues Mayo, which is you know,
one year one and done in New England for drawed
Mayo and then Doug Peterson. Am I missing anyone because
no day balls getting retained? Yep? They just said that
him and Shane uh yeah wow, congrats. Who else was
on the hot seat?
Speaker 3: They were talking Stefanski. I don't think they move on
from him yet to really he just made the playoffs
a year ago. His quarterback situation is terrible. They got
the number two pick in the draft.
Speaker 2: And Dallas, I guess is not the movie gone? You know?
Speaker 3: Jerry played his frigging mind games again yesterday. He was like, oh,
you know, I love Mike McCarthy. I think you know,
he did as good a job as anybody this year
under the circumstances. And they're like, well, was I mean
he's coming back next year? He's like, well, you know,
I don't know. I mean we're gonna evaluate everything, Like
the hell up, Jerry.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's that's also what it was. The Dolphins also
did a which I mean that makes sense right with
the quarterback injuries and everything, but they felt the need
to come out there and do a No, we still
believe in our guys. I mean they win a record. Yeah,
they finished, they finished, they finished solid once I know,
but I mean I you never know how the locals,
Yeah what what the.
Speaker 4: Local temperatures and sounds like maybe I mean Marty Schottenheimer
once got fired after going fourteen and two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so never was that with the Chiefs, Chargers Chargers or.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well Tyreek Hill wants out.
Speaker 2: Y know what happened there? Man? It seemed like they
were so happy and then it just.
Speaker 3: All he couldn't get the ball this year, But again,
like it all blew up to his herb but what
does that mean for his future?
Speaker 4: You just look, I'm not saying that he can't be
an effective NFL player, But when your biggest asset is speed,
what diminishes over time? Yeah, speed more than anything, more
than anything, And so you still really fast and fat.
In fact, you're fast fast, like we'd like to stay
in the locker room. All right, But if that's your
biggest asset, and you know, as time goes on, like
you've been in a league a long time now, like
you know, you lose a step hand.
Speaker 2: It's been a long time. You still think of Tyreek
as being like happens when you get older, you think
of players as not being six Yeah, how it because
we talk about so wait, Carson Wentz is only two
years older than Tyreek Hill. That feels crazy. I was
watching a game this year.
Speaker 4: I think they were playing Buffalo where they tried man.
They tried to get him involved by you know, running
down the seams, and I mean the guys are just
running step for step with him. Again, I'm not saying
he's not still an elite athlete with a role somewhere,
but the role that he's looking for to be receiver
number one, to have fourteen hundred.
Speaker 2: Yards and I just I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's wild. It was just two years ago
he was pushing for two thousand. It happens like that.
Speaker 2: Gino Smith made six million in bonuses yesterday. Yes, oh, Gino,
Hell yeah, good day at the office, my friend, Good
day of the office. I'm going to say something that
will piss many Saint Sam's off. I'm happy for Mike Kevins.
You know, I think you can have respect for a
warrior that shows honor on the battlefield. And now you
may say, what about the sucker punch and all those
stors stuff. Yeah, I mean, look, it happens. Okay, your
battle for over a decade, Stuff's gonna happen. But my
point is that is an opponent that you've gone toe
to toe with for over a decade now, and you've
had some great battles, and I'm not gonna lie. I
felt truly awful for him when I thought he was
gonna come up five yard shorts, five yard short of
his eleventh thousand yard receiving season in a row. Because
that's something, I mean, you you just can't. It's not
that's not getting hot, it's the culmination of a life's work,
you know. And so I say, credit the balls and
credit the Baker, and credit to the Bucks for finding
a way to get Evans that record, you know with it.
Speaker 4: Uh, it's kind of risky. Oh yeah, I mean now
I'm not talking about injury. I'm just talking about even
the game situation. To me, throwing the football in that
situation knowing you've got the playoffs on the line.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean I don't know, no way, so
you would end have done it for the homie, for
the leader of your team for like a decade.
Speaker 4: But think if they throw a pick six, I get it,
and then people are getting fired.
Speaker 2: Hey are you foxhole or not? Like I like, well,
you're not. I'm just saying it was a certified foxhole move.
That's true. False, it is true.
Speaker 4: But I do like that the first time T is
going to be in the foxholes for Mike Evans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not in his foxhol feels like no, no, no, no, no,
no no no. But that's a fox old road in there.
That's a foxhole move from Bulls and Baker. Is anybody
scream foxhole more than bakery? No Baker is foxhole ballot one?
Speaker 4: So Baker's like I was talking about on Friday. I
don't care if you're right, wrong, or indifferent. If you're
my boy, you're my girl and you're like, hey this
person wronged me, or hey I need you.
Speaker 2: I'm going to take your side. Baker feels like that
kind of person.
Speaker 4: He doesn't need to hear the details, he doesn't need
to find out what happened to lead to that situation.
Speaker 2: He feels like, No, K has the same body type
as Jeremy Renner as well. I could you know, I
could see it. I think so it is. I bet
you he's bigger. I bet you he's a little bit bigger.
That's what I'm saying. I bet you he's a little
bit bigger. But in how they look compared to their peers,
I do find them to be a similar feeling.
Speaker 3: Okay, but whatever Jimmy Renner five to nine get, you
can get mad.
Speaker 2: You can get mad about the Mike Evans thing. I look,
I think it's impossible for me not to empathize with
somebody that that is. Again, that is a lifetime of work,
a career achievement, and a come up five yard short,
Especially when Baker missed him on what would have been
like a thirty to forty yard game would have been
absolutely brutal.
Speaker 3: So you can't you can't get mad at that. Like again,
I get it. Saints fans are like, oh, well they
did it against us. Look, we had we had had
this discussion all off season when Dennis Allen came out
and didn't have his players back, when they wanted to
get Jamal Williams his first touchdown of the year late
in the game against the Falcons.
Speaker 2: It's the same thing.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is actually a bigger deal than that
they just wanted Williams to have his first touchdown of
the year. I mean, you you joined Jerry Rice in
the number one thousand yards receiving, you have eleven straight layers.
I mean that's also he even beats Jerry Rice because
he's the first receiver with eleven straight thousand yard seasons
and double digit touchdowns to start his career. Jerry had
nine one of those years. So Mike is actually in
a category all by himself.
Speaker 2: Now, like you can't look at the quarterbacks. You don't
got Joe Montagney and Steve Young than No.
Speaker 3: Well, they talked about it like okay, sure you had
Brady for three years, you had Baker for two, you
had Jamis for a few years, you had Mike Glennon
for a year.
Speaker 4: I mean it had he been he catching, he might
have been too young for Josh Freeman.
Speaker 2: No, he went there with Freeman. Did y'all see Davis
Mills neck save him yesterday? I did that. That huge
thick neck he got flipped over on the goal line.
Looked like it snapped. But hey, big thick neck win
for Davis Mills yesterday. The yeah Jason, Yeah, he married
one of my best friends little sisters. Big gamer, good
guy I think, continues to win these last games of
the season and cost his team draft picks or draft placement.
The what was I thought? I had one more thought?
Oh oh, and and look if your episode about the
Evans thing too, like whatever. The Falcons didna make the playoffs,
so you know, so that's that's kind of the the
the silver lining in all of it for the for
the New Orleans Saints. I did see the GM of
the Bucks.
Speaker 4: You know there's that video of Cam Jordan saying after
Brady left, well, now they's gonna go back to being
the same old Bucks. Well, last year they made the playoffs,
and the GM.
Speaker 2: Quote tweeted it.
Speaker 4: This year they made the playoffs, and so he quot
tweeted his quote tweet of Cam Jordan saying they're going
to come back to being the same old Bucks.
Speaker 2: It sucks, but Tampa clearly the class of the NFC
South right now. And unfortunately, with how the seasons ended
for everybody in the division, it's very hard not to
feel like the Saints are the worst because with Bryce
Young potentially coming online, will it be a flash in
the pan a heater that doesn't continue. Only time will tell.
But again, Bryce Young ended up showing a ton of potential.
The Panthers started winning consistently against the spread and then
even winning a couple of games, and so now you're like, oh, well, okay,
they have their young quarterback. Panix looks awesome in Atlanta, Bakers.
As we said, a top five quarterback objectively in the
league would, And.
Speaker 3: Even if you take quarterback out of it, these other
teams have a young talent. Yeah you do not like
Xavior look at Bucky Irving's a rookie.
Speaker 2: Interviews for just ever, Xavier loo Get have the best
accent in the NFL.
Speaker 4: Solid I mean that is a deep country accent. Boh,
it's super solid. I can't imagine like some of his
teammates that are from the West Coast or you know,
from the Northwest wherever they're from.
Speaker 2: Actually, man, that happens. Yeah, oh yeah, no, they freaked out.
They ain't ready for that. So that's while the Dampa's
won the South four years in a row.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then the year before that they were a
wild card team.
Speaker 2: They beat the Saints to the PLAYFFS two owed him
and then you lost in the in the third game
rematch because you lost because it's Tom Brady in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I guess, look credit Todd Bowles because
what's his name, Bruce Arians retired after that and nobody's like,
uh this, Todd Bowles really deserved this job. He wasn't
great with the Jets, and he's won four straight NFC
song titles.
Speaker 2: It's true. It's a good point, and doing it without
Tom Brady because also at the time it was like
Brady forced Arians out. Uh, and Bowles is just Brady's
pick just because Tom Brady gets what he wants. But
Bowles has done well post Brady. The so the Saints arguably,
like I said, looking like maybe the worst team in
the NFC South, but at least they have a top
twelve quarterback in Derek Carr. They do too bomb. Let's
go for those that don't remember. If Derek Carr did
not finish the year as a top twelve quarterback, I
was going to have to castrate myself live on the show.
And yet Tata hit him with the Carfax one more time.
Speaker 3: So I did not look at like Yard's touchdowns, all
that he didn't play enough games for all that NFL
QB are leaders sitting at number ten with a one
oh one rating, mister Derek Carr, let's go, dude. In
terms of NFL completion percentage in twenty twenty four, Derek
Carr comes in at number nine with sixty seven point
seven percent.
Speaker 6: And in UH yards per attempt believe it or not, YPA,
how do you pushing the ball downfield? Jake, Derek Carr
comes in at ten. He's tied checkdown, Charlie.
Speaker 2: He's tied with.
Speaker 3: About four guys for ten, so he's really on the
verge of fallowing out the top twelve. But seven point
seven yards per attempt tidy, Derek the same as.
Speaker 2: Kirk cousins, Josh Allen and Justin Herbert. That is the
yards forer at timpseat is particularly funny because it reminds
you what a marathon of a year it's been for
the New Orleans Saints. Because remember, there was a time
when Carr was throwing deep balls to Rashichi and both
got here might as well not exist. The first two.
Speaker 3: Games of the year, he was throwing like thirty yard
passes every play.
Speaker 2: So I would like to say thank you guys. You
know again, I told my wife this couple of days ago.
Sometimes the burden of being perpetually correct can be heavy
that way to bear, you know, my give me a
little back problems. Just some days I'm like, you know, lord,
can you just so you know what, if this is
my cup, I will I will suck from it. And
here I sit right once again. Derek Carr top twelve
quarterback in the NFL. How about it, guys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you're saying, if you had the opportunity to
take twelve quarterbacks right now for the Saints, you'd still
stick with Derek Carr.
Speaker 2: I think, okay, let's do a fun thing. Give me,
give me, like, give me thirteen through sixteen on the QB.
Give me, that's five guys behind Derek Carr and QBR QBR,
Well you went off rating earlier quarterback rating.
Speaker 4: Yeah, eleven Daniels, twelve is Jordan Love, and thirteen's Brock PIRTYU.
Speaker 2: Those guys, I think they're a bit overrated, you know,
I mean based on QB rating. If we're just going
by QB rating. Yeah, okay, not yeah, No, that's a
good hypothetical by you, because I would, obviously I would.
I would shoot myself down fat of my thigh to
take any of those three.
Speaker 4: That are right in front of him, justin Herbert, then
Josh Allen then to a tongue of by low damn.
Speaker 2: Hey, Derek's really good at faking it, you know what
can I say?
Speaker 5: Also, didn't play like a full season?
Speaker 2: All right? How about this one, t Bob for completing it?
Speaker 5: No, I didn't want that to happen.
Speaker 2: Sorry for you.
Speaker 5: I didn't want that for you.
Speaker 2: Sounds like you did. But it's OK because you're not
gonna get it, because once again I'm saying.
Speaker 3: How about how about for completion percentage? You're not Keep
in mind Derek only played ten games so it probably
helps him a little bit. One of these guys you
may or may not take. But would you take Derek
Carr or Patrick Mahomes because Mahomes is at ten and
Cars at nine, Mahomes isn't ten.
Speaker 2: With Andy Reid, it would be no different than it
is now. Kirk Cousins is eleven, Kansas City would be
just as dominant with Derek Carr.
Speaker 3: What about what about Kirk Cousins at eleven? I would
actually not take kirku What about Lamar Jackson at twelve?
Speaker 2: I would again shoot myself through the fat of my
thigh for Lamar Jackson if I get a doctor to
line up the bullet so would not hit like a
major artery or cause any bone damage or anything. Yeah,
where's Joe Burrow on the QBR list? What is the
top five? I just want to know what's the top
five quarterback rating for rating?
Speaker 3: Lamar Golf, Burrow, Mayfield, Jalen Hurts. Wow, and you're taking
all those guys over tear Car Like that's not well?
Speaker 2: I mean, but go be credible.
Speaker 4: The QBR is Lamar, Josh Burrow, Jayden, Jordan Love.
Speaker 2: Jaymeen's five QBR four four whoa where does carcman in QBR.
Speaker 4: Well, if he would have qualified, which I don't think
he did, he'd be between Matthew Stafford at twelve and
Baker Mayfield at thirteen.
Speaker 2: I mean, just right on the freaking edge. He is
the walking football Mendoza line. Just like you're never if
you're if you're a little bit better to cards chance,
your fan base is happy with you. If your worst,
your fan base hates you. Yeah, thank you, DC, We'll
always have twenty twenty four. Also, thank you for getting hurt.
It probably helped me. Like the receivers with the crap
after that, it would have gotten way harder to keep
those numbers. It would have gotten way harder without shaheat
and a lave out there. So thank you to d
C for having the the gumption to try to to
try to jump over that man on a second down
scramble like a real man does. Foxhole guy Derek Carr
putting it on for the team and Harry.
Speaker 5: I know he got hurt, but that was one of
the funniest plays.
Speaker 2: It is it is, it is, It's it's gallows. Humor
is funny. Certainly, wasn't it also like second down?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was it was second it was second down,
it would have been like third and two, Like, why'd
you do that?
Speaker 2: Shout out? Because he was inspired by Darren Rizzy? Is
that right? And shout out Darren Rizzy an all tongue
in cheek joking aside. I thought Darren Rizzy did as
good of a job in just a god awful situation
of bringing some excitement at times and at least putting
an okay product out there despite being I mean, he
had to make guy for this thing. He was truly did.
You'll get that reference, give it just just a sack
a crap worth of ingredients and told to make a meal.
Speaker 4: Speaking of quarterbacks, Tayte's favorite team had a new quarterback yesterday.
Speaker 2: How'd you feel about that? Who played? Played better than
I thought he would. Trey Lance played what yeah?
Speaker 3: Uh hair over fifty percent completion actually closed out of
sixty two thirty four, no touchdowns, no pro.
Speaker 2: They say the nineties, you don't get to say over
fifty percent completion gets a positive. You get to say
over sixty You don't get the claim over fifty.
Speaker 3: No, That's what I'm saying, Like, you played better than
I thought he wasn't great though, no touchdowns, but he
didn't have any turnovers.
Speaker 4: I mean he was ran the ball for twenty six
yards forty four Are you ready to replace that?
Speaker 2: That is somebody that.
Speaker 4: Had a whole draft two draft traded for him, Yeah,
and just sits there as a three for the Cowboys
and nobody even talks about it.
Speaker 3: I think the forty nine ers get bailed out because
they hit on party in the seventh round. They don't
hit on party and they missed badly on Tree Lance.
People talking about lottery.
Speaker 2: Overall pick that's wild. He mcgriobre di that. I agree.
He mcgriover and he him a guy, right, He mcgroover
rizzy did yeah, number I mean the resources Niners gave
up and still with how good the Niners are, it
boggles the mind. And how could they could have been
only started eight games for him too? Yeah awful?
Speaker 5: Did you see the controversy was starting Trail Lance over
Cooper Rush though?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you lost that on five hundred thousand dollars. Yeah what?
Speaker 5: And Jerry Jones is like I had no idea he
needed like fifty five percent franchise team snaps or something, And.
Speaker 2: There's something where I didn't realize this, but talking to
another backup quarterback that one of my cousins dates there's
something where it's like, if you play more plays than
you're expected to, you get bonus based off of that
player incentive. But is it performance player perform that's right,
the player performance program. Uh so, I wonder if he
got that tied into that or maybe after my rookie year,
my player performance was the highest on the Chargers. Hell yeah,
I had to feel good, good little chrisp Bones. What
I was.
Speaker 4: I was sitting at Perkins Row, Katie was buying furniture
at Z Gallery. My agent calls me, is like, hey,
you did pretty well in player performance. I'm like, oh,
I'm thinking ten thousand dollars a lot more than that.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, ude, I'm like, wait, that's a thing. Uh yeah, exactly,
Like no one really knows it's the thing, That's what
I'm saying. It's not I don't think they do.
Speaker 4: If you're you know, a seventh round pick and you
go out there and you start fourteen games, yeah you
get paid that. You get paid for that, even though
you're not making you know, you're making a league minimum.
Speaker 5: You're like, bring me the whole living room set.
Speaker 2: Scotty Katie. Probably I'll take all the chandeliers, all of them.
Speaker 3: About Cooper Rush missing on five hundred thousand dollars, Scott Dice,
Who's about to get banned for this comment that Chris
Gott made over six hundred and fifty three thousand dollars yesterday.
Speaker 2: Jesus, all right, when we get back now it's tiy
and talk to Tigers. Keep it locked. Off the bench,
Off the bench.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the ninth ranked morning sports show in America.
Speaker 2: Off the Bench. What's happening, y'all? Welcome back to OTV.
So the LSU Tigers got a little bit of partal
combat coming in this week, uh as they're hosting one
of the most valued recent additions to the transfer peardle
the Tarcas Cooley. This is an NC State defensive back.
He played nickelback for INC State last year, called Chad Kroger.
He's six one thirty tackles, two tipples, one pick, six
pbu's two forced fumbles. So a guy who put up
some pretty good numbers. He was set to return to
NC State. He re signed with the one Pack Collective,
but something went wrong. Over the last week, Jake and
I would imagine what we're wrong is somebody said, hey,
here's how much money you could make if you put
your name into the portal, and he did. And now
this week he is visiting Ole Myths today, LSU Thursday,
Mazoo Friday in Kentucky on Saturday. So you're saying he
wants to play in the SEC. I mean he's a
SEC town bisycle. You know everybody gets the ride. Uh.
I'll say this for Tarcas again. I think he's a
good player. I think those stats are impressive. I love
the six to one side. I like the fact that
he played nickel. But this has the feeling, Jake, of
a bidding war that could does the money reach a
point where the juice is not worth the squeeze like
because it sounds crazy, But with Lshoes done in that
defensive back room, and this will not be a safety
So otherwise then maybe you do put your thumb on
the monetary scale a bit more. But with what Lshu's
done in filling out that dB room, I feel comfortable
enough where I don't feel that I need to overpay
if this money gets to a point where I'm not
fully comfied. Yeah, if you're not comfortable going there.
Speaker 4: Now, he's a really good player, like T Bob said,
I mean we're talking about a player that graded out
an eighty one overall this year on Pro Football Focus,
and so he has a really good year four NC
State and really when you look at the breakdown, played
well in their biggest games.
Speaker 2: So if it was a safety, yeah, you do whatever
you got to do.
Speaker 4: And I'm still waiting to hear some of those names
because you know, you believe there's names that are still
at least to last week, maybe still involved in the
college football playoff. I don't know if those names are
still involved, you know, coming up in the Cotton Bowl,
in the Orange Ball you, I mean, you need safety help. Now,
corner would be a little you know, at this point,
a little annet because of what you've.
Speaker 2: Done so far in the portal.
Speaker 4: Now you'll always add if you can, and certainly like
at the price was right, but you need a safety,
and you need a safety in a bad way. I mean,
you're losing some veteran players there, You've got some young players,
but you need I mean, I would say two safety,
not just one and cooly somebody that's two o five.
I'm not saying he couldn't play some safety, but yeah,
this guy's a corner.
Speaker 2: So if the number is right, yeah.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, But if it gets into a bidding war, like
you said, Tea, I think you saved those resources for
safety and tackle and tackle and maybe even another you know,
lower end tight end. Now you know what trade as
Green was able to do in the Bowl game, gives
you a lot of confidence. You're also bringing in Taylor's
cousin from Oklahoma, so like you've got another body coming.
Speaker 2: But I still think you add, you know, a true
why at.
Speaker 4: Tight end because I even think this year they were
missing a true why when you look at like Mason
Taylor's in f trades, Green's inn f who played receiver,
and Pimpton just.
Speaker 2: Call it like it is. Was not good blocking, was.
Speaker 4: Not was not good in the run game, was passive
in the run game with tiptoe into the run game,
and so you need like a true why if you're
going to continue to run the offense in the run
schemes that else you wanted to run last year.
Speaker 2: So it's it's something to keep an eye on. But again,
visiting every sec team this week. Basically, we'll see where
Cooley ends up. Speaking of adding to the team here
on OTB, we are very very pleased to be adding
a new partner. That's right, guys. Pelican Roofing Okay, the

their their record of seven and what seven and twenty nine?
But guess what two and oh since Friday? So what
have you done for me lately? Yes? Exactly, Pelicans doing
an undefeated January where for the last three days are undefeated.
Speaker 3: Some are saying, like hottest team in the NBA, Like,
is there a team hotter than the Pelicans?
Speaker 5: Try two wins against the Wizards?
Speaker 4: Yeah, come on, Oh they won six games?
Speaker 2: Okay, Hey look why okay if I box Evander Holyfield,
why would you judge me for that? I need to
be boxing somebody on my level. The Wizards were also
five and twin nine going into these games, so it
was really an even fight. Okay, So like, yeah, sorry,
there's weight classes exist for a reason. It's a little featherweight. Dubs.
Didn't see j drop like fifty in one of the games.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly, and then he has the most reason
game he had six three pointers.
Speaker 2: Hey, Pelican's so hot right now? I know Zion's just
excited that King Cake seasons here he started? Does he
start playing again? That's the first fat joke I've ever
made on Zion, and that shows you how I am
with them. I have not. That's not true. Point gets
mad when I yes, I've avoided for a long time. No,
that is not true. Check the tape, Jack the tape.
So yeah, Now, to be fair, Pelican Moving probably doesn't
want to actually be associated. That's what I was trying
to do. You're Jake is right. Jake is right. In
the end, the Pelican Moving is only like the two
and O Pelican O, thank you, not like the five
and twenty nine Pelicans. Yeah, the one Yeah, the ones
that started hot are the ones that beat the Wizards
the last couple of nights. Yeah, they're like c. J. McCollum, Yeah,
when he dropped fitty. Yeah. Basically, all right, when we
get back, suck some sec basketball here and off the bench.

Speaker 1: Back to sports talk, maybe off the bench.
Speaker 2: I got okay, I need I need somebody because I
didn't I didn't plan on reading about this. People keep
going and talk about it, but we got to get
somebody to update the or to fill me in on
the Fox Sports situation and the alleged lawsuits going on there.
The one thing I saw about randomly was Jason Whitlock
putting out there like this is Shannon Sharp like getting
revenge on everybody at FS one.
Speaker 5: So I don't know how godfather type thing where he's like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of funding or seating maybe the person who
is doing the lawsuit. I don't I don't know. I
don't know, but but maybe we can get into it
a bit later. Right now, let's talk a little SEC
basketball as it opened up over the weekend for the men,
the women continued, and well, it went to different ways.
LSU women's basketball beats Auburn seventy three sixty three. Anisamiro
gets her nation leading fifteenth double double, now one more double,
should be third all time. Shoutout Matthew Bruin from on
three at a great rite up in which they'll factoid
in there. Kaylyn Gilbert plays very well again, shooting an
incredibly efficient eight to ten. LSU now seventeen and zero,
two and zero in the SEC and they'll play on
the road Thursday at Tennessee. For the men, things are
a bit more disconcerting. Because Jake, you actually played kind
of excellent. Like if I told you that you would
have shot fifty percent from the field, eighty two percent
from the line, and held Vandy to forty three, you
should win that game, right, Yeah, especially when I tell
you that Vandy outside the top one hundred and rebounding
now like one of the shortest teams in the SEC.
And yet the Commers beat just seventeen to five on
the offensive glass, eighteen to four in second chance points.
And there's your game right there. And that is a
major red flag given that a lot of this conference
will be bigger and better in those regards. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 4: And you know, Vanderbilt was a favorite coming into this game,
even though it was at home. I believe it settled
at minus two and a half, but you still felt
like you had an opportunity to go win this game,
and you did really well in the second half.
Speaker 2: It was the first half that really set you back.
Speaker 4: You go into the locker room and you're down seven
there and it is not as you laid out.
Speaker 2: It's not going to get any easier in the SEC.
Speaker 4: I mean, Vanderbilt was one of the teams that you
felt like almost you had to win at home if
you want to do what we talked about on Friday,
which is play five hundred basketball in the SEC because
of what you you know, already put on your resume
in the non con Last year, you didn't.
Speaker 2: This year you actually did.
Speaker 4: You got a couple of really nice wins against major
power you know conference teams.
Speaker 2: It's a little bit of setback. Now it's a first game.
Speaker 4: You still have time, but these are one of the
situations that you'd like to take advantage of and else
you just wasn't able to do it, certainly in the
first half.
Speaker 2: What about you two back there, you'all tend to be
more lucked in LSU basketball than I am, especially at
this point in the year. I'm starting to kind of,
you know, ether into it. Still, what are you all
takeaways from the weekend?
Speaker 3: I mean, as far as the rebounded in the second
chance points, like that's what we talked about when Jalen
Reid went out right and up to this point, Corey
Chess and Damian Collins have been really good, but how
were they going to hold up in SEC play? That
was always kind of my biggest concern going in it.
And to your point, like, yes, they fought back. They
actually wound up taking the lead in the second half
of that game at one point.
Speaker 2: Like six minutes left.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just dug themselves in too big of a
hole to start things. Fifteen turnovers doesn't help you in
any way. I mean, they just they were careless with
the ball and they were hurt on the rebound, and
that was that was kind of your two biggest concerns
going into the game, and it bit you, Alondra.
Speaker 2: Did you notice anything working the game on Saturday? Uh?
Speaker 5: Not really, So like Kim Carter and Jordan Sears continue
to like carry this team. Twenty two points for Carter,
seventeen for Sears, and we only had like six points
off the bench.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he ended up being on I've read it.
Matt's right up on the on three again. It was
it a hold on.
Speaker 4: Sorry, Well, I mean I'm sure what you're looking for
is how domind Yeah, Vanderbilt had forty They had two
players of fourteen one to twelve off the bench, and
you had eight. And Victorious Miller had been somebody and
we talked about it on Friday. That had given you
a lot off the bench, and he doesn't score a point,
and so like, look, he had four rebounds and so
there was things he did to contribute to the team, but.
Speaker 2: He also had three turnovers.
Speaker 4: And so when you don't have a deep bench, and
when you don't have a lot of production off the bench,
and you have that one piece and that one piece
doesn't play well, then you're gonna get out played, certainly
by Vanderbilt spinch well.
Speaker 2: And to your point, Jake on kind of needing this one,
you want to talk about just an awful scheduling start.
We all know that basically every team the SEC is
quad win or quad two. And you're starting now with
four of your next five on the.
Speaker 4: Road, that at Missouri, at Old miss at home Versus
Arkansas at A and M and at Alabama Old missus
twenty fourth, Arkansas's twenty third, A and M's thirteenth, and
Alabama's number five.
Speaker 2: So the problem is there. It's like, you know, when
your team, like Elish, is trying to punch up a
bit that has the potential to just really wreck your mentality,
can you maintain belief that you gotta snag a couple
of these hopefully.
Speaker 4: Like at Missouri. Yeah, like that feels like one Missouri's
eleven and three, just like you are. That feels like
one you have to go get. You know, Arkansas at
home feels like one you're going to have to go
and yeah, because.
Speaker 2: Like, well that's gonna be way harder.
Speaker 4: Even off the road trip that we're talking about. You
still you come home and you played number two Auburn
the first game out of that road trip, Alabama and
Auburn back to back. Yeah, you go at Alabama, Auburn
at home, Texas at.
Speaker 5: Home, gross work and Carter Cam Carter had like twenty
points in the second half and then I don't know,
they just stopped getting the ball to him for a minute,
like I don't remember how long it was, but he
didn't score for a while, and he ended up with
only not only but he ended up with twenty two points,
which he had twenty well into the second half. So
I don't know what that was about.
Speaker 2: But well, let's hope that, uh, let's hope that again
they can snagger it one of the miszoo. Probably the
best part of the basketball weekend is and I was
gonna do during weekend winners, but maybe we'll just run
it back. Did y'all see coach Monkey's out for.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Chris Marler, the internet.
Speaker 2: Is calling her a literal walking bucket. Yeah, I did see.
Speaker 4: At first, I thought it was a photo shop because
I couldn't really tell, like what what's.
Speaker 2: That attached to? It's a sweater with a basketball going
into a who like kind of a rounder waist, maybe
a little higher in the waist, and there are actually
there's an actual net, like actual basketball net tassels hanging down.
And that's because ball is life if you're a coach Moulky,
and that's why you're seventeen and oh yeah in two
and zero in the SEC, because you're a freaking legend
and truly a walking bucket. Truly and more ways than one.
You talked to coach Molkey about it tomorrow, I am.
I am intrigued to see how.
Speaker 4: SEC play works out for it for that team, because
they got tested a couple of times.
Speaker 2: So good, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Also shout out to the halftime show they had at
the women's basketball game yesterday, a Kim Molkey lookalike contest,
so that showed up dresses their favorite Kim Moulky attire.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a bunch of queen of sparkles and blonde bobs. Yeah,

I love a piano bar shout out, hot boot down,
Twitter hit me up, quoting a king Cake Baby video
saying he's back, thank you hot. But I'm just gonna
say the king Cake Baby don't hit the same when
you're nine and twenty seven, seven and twenty nine. Unfortunately,
it's it's it's fun when Tuna Harolding haralding the comeback
of the king Cake Baby. Maybe the kin Cake Baby
ends up propelling this team to run. Definitely not. But yeah,
it's hard for anything to be like cute or fun
when everybody's just full of rage. Yeah, like the excellent
Denzel Washington line, rage pours out of you like milk
out of a just awful, just an awful line by
the Gladiator Riders, really awful line. I have to see
this movie now, I have to use That's the problem.
It's definitely not though, like it's so it's not so bad,
it's good, Like it's not like some abject disaster. It
ends up being very middle of the road because it
is worse.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's worse because like if it's so bad, you
can sit down and enjoy how bad it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that middle grand it's just love a good bad
action movie. Yeah, exactly, you know, love it. Awesome Coloseum
stuff is cool. Yeah, just like seeing Rome is cool.
Speaker 4: It's like Gates Road, Memphis came in and he's like,
y'all watching a pirate movie And I was like, what
because they were fighting in the water in the coliseum.
Speaker 2: That's actually not a bad question, I wish, But of course,
why would you do this? You have limited time movies.
I have no point in this, but I do want
to know how how did they used to flood the
Colisseum because they had all sorts of like under rooms
under the coliseum where those like water tight. That's what
I was wondering too, Like did they put up a
water gate or yeah. I don't know, but I know
they used to do it. They used to do mount
naval battles in there, and it was very cool. They
dropped sharks in there. That was tight. You know. I
hope that's true. I should I should look that up
to see if that's true or not. Okay, that was crazy, yep,
But uh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's the best bad action movie?
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, it's tough. Yeah, I mean the later Fast
and the Furious would qualify I mean ish, yeah, for sure. Yeah,
I mean there's are there's are action ish yeah, no,
those are not action ish, those are. I mean I was,
I haven't seen them, so I shouldn't. From people who
rave to them about me, they seem like truly kind
of like you were saying, like epitome of really dumb
but good fun action. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 3: You go back and watch some of the older James
Bonds that don't maybe don't hold up as well, like.
Speaker 4: I mean Raker Wild, but those are like still like
two I'm thinking like Steven Steagall type stuff, where like
I'm gonna watch it, watch it, but you're like, you know,
maybe not the best.
Speaker 2: Anything like.
Speaker 3: Brule movies, Bruce Ly movies would would probably qualify there, but.
Speaker 2: Then that's martial arts movies. I feel like you're almost
its own uh own category in some ways. Oh face Off, yes, yeah,
that's yeah, yeah yeah. I legitimately think Face Off has
the best opening twenty minutes of any movie ever. And
I'm not exaggerating. The way they cast like the way
they castor Troy just leaps off the screen is it's unparallel,
it's unparalleled. Nick Cage just going full unbridled Nick Cage.
All right, our three coming up next off the bench,
