00:00:57,119 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 5: We don't need, we don't need Tabob Remond. I keep

00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:00,039

25
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,920
like we do every day with a little ass the bench.

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 5: But right now, let's dive into it.

27
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 4: Every day Thursday nine am, get a little big deal

28
00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:24,319
or no big deal, big deal, no big deal, big deal,

29
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:27,040
don't big deal, big deal.

30
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:29,439
Speaker 1: No big deal, no big deal.

31
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:30,359
Speaker 6: I don't.

32
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,159
Speaker 5: A big deal.

33
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 7: We don't do this every Thursday. I don't remember the

34
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,920
last time we did big deal or no big deal be.

35
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,239
Speaker 5: Supposed to do? Okay, does anybody have a big deal

36
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:42,719
in a big deal?

37
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:43,079
Speaker 6: Uh?

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 8: Yes, but you got it off. Okay, let's start it

39
00:01:46,879 --> 00:01:50,200
with this. This stat right here is honestly one of

40
00:01:50,239 --> 00:01:54,120
the craziest stats I've seen. So Bill Simmons tweeted, Okay,

41
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,480
see is eight and one at eight and one at

42
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,120
home in the playoffs. They won those eight games by

43
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:05,079
fifty one, nineteen, forty three, seven thirty, two, thirty six, fifteen,

44
00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:07,439
and thirty. The one loss was is a Denver game

45
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,199
one where they were up nine to three minutes left

46
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:09,919
and lost by two.

47
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:10,759
Speaker 1: Listen to this.

48
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:15,199
Speaker 8: They are a plus two thirty one plus two thirty

49
00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:17,840
one and nine home games. So the big deal of

50
00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:19,360
no big deal is this one of the greatest teams

51
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,840
we have ever seen assembled.

52
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,039
Speaker 5: I mean, big deal.

53
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,719
Speaker 4: On the record, I'm not gonna say one of the

54
00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:28,360
best teams you've ever seen assembled. They have to win

55
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,280
the title first for me to go into that, and

56
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,159
like you want to talk about the other side of things.

57
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,280
If tonight the Pacers you're able to close out the Knicks.

58
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:40,520
If they're able to do that tonight in Game five,

59
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:44,199
they will be twelve and three in this NBA playoffs

60
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,800
and uh, undefeated in every game outside of game threes. Actually,

61
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,639
fun fact for you, they the only games that the

62
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,319
Pacers have lost have been game threes in all three

63
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,800
of their series. So yeah, I mean, Okac has been dominant.

64
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,719
They were the best team in the league all year long.

65
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,800
They look like they are still the best team here

66
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,199
in the playoffs. Here a lot of people say, okay, well,

67
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,199
the thunder have already won the title, because you know,

68
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,719
the real NBA title.

69
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 5: Was the Thunder and the Nuggets. And I get it.

70
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 4: The Nuggets are great. They they have won a championship.

71
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:15,479
Nicolay Yokic is the best player in the NBA. I

72
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,840
understand all that. Look, if the Pacers closed it out,

73
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:23,199
they're a formidable opponent. If New York somehow able to

74
00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:26,000
come back and win this series. That's a good team

75
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:28,479
as well, Like I get it. Okay, see has the

76
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,879
star power, you got the young guys. You have the

77
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,400
MVP and Shae gilges Alexander, but the Pacers and the

78
00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:36,599
Knicks are both really good teams as well. It's it's

79
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,280
I think that's gonna be a really interesting NBA Finals

80
00:03:40,479 --> 00:03:43,439
regardless of who faces the Oklahoma City Thunder. So I'm

81
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:45,479
not ready to say they're one of the best teams

82
00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:48,319
we've ever seen yet, but they're certainly on an incredible run.

83
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,319
Speaker 5: We'll see if they can get it done. Okay.

84
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,439
Speaker 4: New England Patriots wide receiver Stefan Diggs was.

85
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:58,719
Speaker 5: Not present.

86
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,759
Speaker 4: For the team's organized activities yesterday, one day after a

87
00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:05,879
video of the wide receiver service on social media in

88
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:09,199
which he was on a boat and flashed and unidentified

89
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,039
pink substance while surrounded by three women. That's what we're

90
00:04:13,039 --> 00:04:14,759
calling it. If you haven't seen the video, go look

91
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,079
it up. He pulls out this little baggie. We're not

92
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:20,160
gonna make claims on what we believe that substance might be,

93
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:22,279
but know what it is, you can kind of figure

94
00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:23,800
it out and put two and two together.

95
00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 5: Mike Rabel was asked about it.

96
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:27,959
Speaker 4: He said, it's something we're aware of, and obviously we

97
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,639
want to make great decisions both on and off the field.

98
00:04:31,439 --> 00:04:33,680
He said, Look, any conversations that I've had with stuff

99
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,560
on will remain between him and I and the club

100
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,360
as a whole big deal or no big deal. The

101
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,759
Stefon Diggs video footage.

102
00:04:42,519 --> 00:04:44,639
Speaker 8: Oh, that's one hundred percent a big deal. I mean,

103
00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:48,079
I get it, it's the off season. But three things,

104
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,519
just three. It's not one, it's not two.

105
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: Three.

106
00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 8: Number one, how did you not realize you're being recorded?

107
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,800
They got the phone in your face. I mean, it's

108
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,879
not like this, Not in the corner of the boat.

109
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:03,800
He's directly in front of you. Thing number two Again,

110
00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:07,439
you are not some rent like you're Stefan Diggs. You

111
00:05:07,639 --> 00:05:09,399
know you're on a I'm gonna say, approve it deal

112
00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:11,199
with the Patriots, But like this could be like your

113
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,800
final pay day that you might you're gonna get an

114
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,000
NFL and you're kind of tricking you know, well, you

115
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,480
ain't tricking away yet, but you're kind of tricking it away.

116
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: And three, when.

117
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 8: You signed to the Patriots, you were there to be

118
00:05:20,319 --> 00:05:22,399
a veteran help. You said you wanna come in help

119
00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:25,199
the young guys do all this, and you're on a

120
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,439
boat with some ditty powder, uh whatever you got going

121
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,360
on on on the boat. So it's the off season.

122
00:05:31,959 --> 00:05:33,920
These are millionaires. Do what you want to do. But

123
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,759
I just gotta be a little bit more awareness. But

124
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,000
don't don't get caught on camera handing out the little bagging.

125
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:38,800
That's that's crazy.

126
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:41,959
Speaker 9: No, that was mine.

127
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: I got another one you want.

128
00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:48,319
Speaker 7: I mean, I was gonna like give my take on it, though,

129
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,120
I think the bigger deal, like I get maybe I

130
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,560
get your point, like you should be more aware of

131
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,199
like if somebody's recording you and.

132
00:05:58,199 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 9: Stuff like that.

133
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 7: But also people used to be able to party on

134
00:06:01,519 --> 00:06:04,839
a boat with nobody posting videos of it, you know

135
00:06:04,879 --> 00:06:07,199
what I mean. Like I think the bigger deal is

136
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,319
why are you on this boat with you?

137
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 9: Like if I was on a boat with Stefan.

138
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 7: Diggs, and like I think Cardi b was on the

139
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,040
boat too, Like I think they're dating or something, so.

140
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,639
Speaker 9: Right, and then the bigger deal to me is like

141
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:24,920
I would have whooped all those girls asses. But like

142
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:28,759
if I was on that boat, I don't know.

143
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 4: That's a good point because I didn't see Cardi B

144
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,879
in that video. Was all three women and none of them.

145
00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 7: I think, like I read an article about it, I

146
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,399
think they did say that she was on the boat.

147
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: The other video. It's like a whole.

148
00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 3: It's a whole.

149
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: It's like bigs and like thirty women and Cardi B.

150
00:06:43,959 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's crazy, But.

151
00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:49,399
Speaker 7: I I don't think that I would have if I

152
00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:51,680
would have taken a video, I wouldn't have posted it

153
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,199
everywhere for everybody to see and it goes viral because

154
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,399
you know what, now, I'm not going to get invited.

155
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 9: On the boat with Stefan Diggs, right.

156
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 7: Because I would find out who took that video, who

157
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,800
posted it, and I am not talking to you ever. Again,

158
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,879
I'm not inviting you anywhere. Also, I got kind of

159
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,480
like secondhand embarrassment and cringe from the girls like hanging

160
00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:17,399
all on him because that is so embarrassing.

161
00:07:17,439 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 5: He was chilling, like.

162
00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 7: They looked like total bops like it just like it

163
00:07:22,839 --> 00:07:23,600
looks bad.

164
00:07:24,079 --> 00:07:26,879
Speaker 9: They looked super thirsty and what it were It just

165
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:27,519
I don't know.

166
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:30,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, he used to be able to party on a

167
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:33,000
boat and nobody would know about it.

168
00:07:34,399 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: He pulled the bag ye out and one of them

169
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:36,680
started jumping on me.

170
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 7: And like hands all on his let like her point,

171
00:07:41,399 --> 00:07:46,079
have some kouth to her point, you go look at

172
00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:48,600
what some of these NFL players in the eighties did.

173
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 5: Like that's what I'm saying, Age is Lawrence Taylor yea.

174
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 4: The entire early nineties Cowboy late eighties, early nineties Cowboys

175
00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:00,920
teams did way worse than this. But yeah, Diggs didn't

176
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,000
really seem to care that he was getting to your point.

177
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,439
I don't know how he didn't know he wasn't getting video.

178
00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:08,199
You know what this reminds me of, Andrew. I'm sure

179
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,519
you've seen Breaking Bad, right, I've tried to watch Okay, okay,

180
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:12,319
you've seen it as mom.

181
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,759
Speaker 5: It reminds me of too much anxiety it does.

182
00:08:15,079 --> 00:08:17,879
Speaker 4: It reminds me of when they when they were making

183
00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:19,879
the meth and you know, it was supposed to be

184
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,279
all nice and clear, but he picked up the wrong

185
00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:24,480
supply and it turned it into that light blue and

186
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:26,120
they're like, oh, we're gonna just roll with the light

187
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,879
blue and make it our signature pink substance.

188
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,839
Speaker 5: Man. Very very Breaking.

189
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 4: Bad esque of uh the crew over there with Stefan Diggs.

190
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,519
Speaker 7: Everybody's like, I doubt Cardi B cares. She's like a

191
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,039
former escort, and I'm like, I understand that. But if

192
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,840
I were Cardi B and I wasn't, like I'm not

193
00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:51,200
an escort, I would whoop everybody's ass on that boat.

194
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:59,440
Everybody that's hanging on my man like that nod. I

195
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,039
get that, But like I'm saying, if I if I

196
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,320
were on that boat, I'm not saying like Cardi B

197
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,440
should have done it, but if I were on that boat,

198
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,320
there's gonna.

199
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 4: Be some smoke it, uh, I mean to her point,

200
00:09:12,639 --> 00:09:14,919
like they were hanging on him, like oh, I didn't

201
00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:17,919
even freaking know that Digs and Cardi B were together whatever.

202
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,480
But like in that video, I'm trying to figure out,

203
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,480
I'm like one of these women there's will have y'all seen.

204
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,159
Speaker 7: That video of when he was on the Vikings and

205
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,039
they're like, who would you not let.

206
00:09:27,919 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 5: My unanimously was stepping up?

207
00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 6: Yeah?

208
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, keep in mind this is before he got

209
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,759
paid to Like this is like rookie year. Digs two

210
00:09:36,799 --> 00:09:39,120
at the same time, So just before the money got there,

211
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:40,360
what time it was?

212
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 5: What you got?

213
00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:43,879
Speaker 8: You said, yeah, you know, so my second one is

214
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,759
sneaker Wars are back in the NBA, so with the

215
00:09:47,919 --> 00:09:51,799
Oklahoma City Thunder eliminating the Minnesota Temples. Famously on the

216
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,759
Minnesota Temples, Anthony edwars Adidas athlete and when he beat

217
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,639
Lebron he dropped the whole Adidas commercial kind of dis

218
00:09:57,639 --> 00:10:02,279
and Nike all this right, So Converse, who shake gives

219
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,639
Alexander's with is owned by Nike. They dissed Anthony Edwards

220
00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:08,320
with a commercial basically sawing like a little ant. And

221
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,480
you know, Anthony Vers is known to be like, you know,

222
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,639
believe that, you know these little.

223
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: Sayings or whatnot.

224
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 8: So Converse drops a commercial with a little ant walking

225
00:10:16,639 --> 00:10:19,320
through like a desert or whatnot, and they're like unbelievable.

226
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: There's basically clowning ant.

227
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,399
Speaker 8: And then Nike posts, uh oh, the West runs through

228
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,600
the okac or something like that. Basically, Nike and Converse

229
00:10:28,639 --> 00:10:32,320
had to team up and dis Adidas Anthony Edwards last night,

230
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,960
and I just thought, man, Sneak Awards might.

231
00:10:34,919 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 5: Be back, big deal for me.

232
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,759
Speaker 4: Okay, like I haven't seen any of them signature. Shoot,

233
00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:42,480
I don't know what any of them look like. Probably

234
00:10:42,519 --> 00:10:43,080
won't buy them.

235
00:10:43,159 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 5: But here's what I like.

236
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,639
Speaker 4: I like when big companies publicly fight with each other.

237
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,600
It's entertainment for me. I'll always say this. I love

238
00:10:49,919 --> 00:10:52,159
as long as nobody's like heard or sick or anything

239
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,559
like that, it's fun. I love drama if I'm not

240
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,679
at it and I can just sit back and watch.

241
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,519
Anything like that is for me. I think it's a

242
00:11:00,519 --> 00:11:02,159
big deal love. I love the sneaker war.

243
00:11:02,519 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 8: Dude, and honestly, like you said, the game needs this,

244
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,039
we need I'm telling to everybody being buddy buddy friendly.

245
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,159
No no, no, no no, Let's get back to being

246
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:12,679
enemies again. You know everybody wants to work out. Everybody

247
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,320
wants to be Stefon Diggs on a boat. We all,

248
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,919
hey us get a boat. Let's get all the girls

249
00:11:15,919 --> 00:11:18,480
on a boat. No, no, no, I want enemies again.

250
00:11:18,519 --> 00:11:21,559
Now you're starting to see maybe a budding rivalry. Anthony

251
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,960
Edwards verus shake its. I don't know, but I will

252
00:11:24,039 --> 00:11:27,279
say this, He's not gonna take that. Dislikely he will

253
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,559
be Adidas will be back. Adidas will be back.

254
00:11:29,759 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 9: I I was.

255
00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:34,039
Speaker 4: I was reading last night on Facebook a couple businesses

256
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,559
out where I live. They were like airing each other's

257
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,840
dirty laundry all over Facebook. It's like on their official

258
00:11:38,919 --> 00:11:41,120
business pages. I'm going to Victoria, I'm like, hey, have.

259
00:11:41,159 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 6: You seen this?

260
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:42,279
Speaker 5: Have you seen this?

261
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 4: Look these two companies are teaming up on this one,

262
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:45,639
Like did all of stuff like that?

263
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 9: I love for it, So y'all know that.

264
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,039
Speaker 7: Like I used to follow the NBA, but it just

265
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,279
doesn't really interest me that much anymore. Like I was

266
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,480
surprised at the names that I heard were in the finals,

267
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,399
Like where did the Pacers come from? I don't know

268
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:03,639
if they've been good or not, but like, basically the

269
00:12:03,799 --> 00:12:06,039
only team that I pay any sort of attention to

270
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,519
is the Spurs. And I see like online sometimes like

271
00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:14,679
obviously SGA won the MVP beat out Nikola jokicch all that,

272
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,200
and that's a huge deal. But I see on the

273
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:22,679
internet sometimes where people say that if you took the

274
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,519
free throw line away from SGA, he wouldn't be all

275
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:25,919
that good.

276
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,039
Speaker 9: Like how true is that?

277
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 4: I'm not very I think it's one of those things

278
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,960
poking holes in someone game.

279
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you know, they they do. There's still

280
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,440
Lebron all the time, and I get it.

281
00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 4: The videos are out there of Lebron flopping, but like

282
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,159
take that out of it. Lebron is still a really

283
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,399
damn good player. So it's a SGA. As far as

284
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,320
the Pacers, they were in the Eastern Conference finals last year,

285
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,480
but I mean they had a tough time with the

286
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:49,000
Celtics as everybody else did. Like they're better this year

287
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,399
than didn't last year, for sure. I will say this

288
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,639
like an Oklahoma City Thunder, and I think the Pacers

289
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,600
are gonna eventually win that series, Like a Thunder Pacers

290
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,360
final is like, that's cool because in my lifetime, like

291
00:12:59,639 --> 00:13:01,320
won the th Under. Haven't been around that long, but

292
00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:03,840
I've never seen the Pacers win anything or any significance,

293
00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:06,759
like regardless, like for you me, Landra, like whoever's watching

294
00:13:06,799 --> 00:13:08,279
these finals, never you get to see somebody and you

295
00:13:08,399 --> 00:13:10,120
win it and like that, that's exciting.

296
00:13:10,399 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 5: That's exciting as well.

297
00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:13,919
Speaker 8: I like that topic because a lot of people say

298
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,000
that's bad for the NBA. They'd be like, no having

299
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,080
parody and all this, and I know Lakers, Warriors and

300
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,720
the Boss of Celtics they need I'm like, what is wrong.

301
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 4: The only reason people are like that's good for ratings

302
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,399
is because those particular cities have a lot of people

303
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,039
Nobody outside of LA or New York or Boston is

304
00:13:32,039 --> 00:13:33,799
going to give a crap that those teams are in

305
00:13:33,799 --> 00:13:36,200
the playoffs because nobody outside of those cities likes those

306
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,240
teams and hat Pacers, and like I want to pull

307
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,480
Like the reason I have pulled for the Pacers over

308
00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:43,399
the Knicks is I get to see a team that's

309
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,159
never won before, and the New York market doesn't get satisfaction.

310
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 5: That's the only reason I'm pulling for the Pacers over

311
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:48,600
the Knicks.

312
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 4: But like, if the Knicks were to win, like at

313
00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:52,799
least that's a new team, we haven't seen them do it. Like,

314
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,279
and even if Minnesota would have upset, Okay, see, like

315
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,879
we haven't really seen Minnesota do anything either. So it's

316
00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:01,639
like this Final four, as far as the NBA goes,

317
00:14:02,039 --> 00:14:03,519
could not have possibly been better.

318
00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 8: Real quick, I have the AUNT commercial. You want to

319
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,799
see it real quick, it'll need sound. You want to

320
00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:08,639
see that real quick?

321
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: Put it up there for you play that bad boy?

322
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, well we got here.

323
00:14:14,279 --> 00:14:15,759
Speaker 6: To use.

324
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 5: Okay, So it's an ant makes sense.

325
00:14:17,759 --> 00:14:21,679
Speaker 8: Nothing left to say unbelievable because Aunt beat says believe that.

326
00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:24,559
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, it's like a little quick little spot.

327
00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's just a little this. It's a little

328
00:14:26,519 --> 00:14:26,840
dis you.

329
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:27,919
Speaker 10: Know, saw this.

330
00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 4: You can't you can't come too strong right out of

331
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,759
the gate, because then it becomes then it comes a

332
00:14:32,759 --> 00:14:35,240
little less right. All right, Yeah, we're about to take

333
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,879
a break, but right before we do, I want to

334
00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:41,399
mention one more Yesterday this was an overlook by all

335
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,399
of us. Yesterday marked nine years since Horambe was put

336
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:47,399
down at the Cincinnati Zoo.

337
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 5: Big deal or no big deal?

338
00:14:48,799 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: Huge deal? Nine years. That just made me feel time,

339
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:52,320
time waste.

340
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,200

00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:56,679

Speaker 1: My goodness, this time was nine years ago.

00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 5: Snore?

401
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 4: Because me, you know a lot of people everybody does

402
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,759
the corn of potatoes, but I mean some people do sausage,

403
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,920
hot dogs, Brussels spouts. Like you say, is there anything

404
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:47,960
unique you put in yours?

405
00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 11: So when I put in my lemons, I also put

406
00:17:51,519 --> 00:17:54,880
some orange juice in with the citrus. I like the flavor.

407
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,799
I like the sweetness of the orange juice. It's kind

408
00:17:56,839 --> 00:17:58,759
of it's almost a can of putting the pineapple in,

409
00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:00,480
and we put we put pineapple in, but we put

410
00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:03,960
the pineapple in later on. And I also put tried

411
00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:07,440
putting some taking in, uh, into the spice. It's it's

412
00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:11,920
kind of a it's Hispanic spice, but it's I don't know,

413
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,039
it's kind of better better issue, if you will, spicy

414
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,359
and bitter at the same time. And it was. It

415
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,400
was a pretty interesting deal. I like, I like to

416
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,680
play around with the recipes, you know, if I'm with

417
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,079
people who were willing to and aren't aren't super stuck

418
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,119
on doing crawfish a particular way, you know, I kind

419
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,319
of I kind of like to play around with the

420
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:35,720
recipes sometimes and just try new things. And yeah, I

421
00:18:35,799 --> 00:18:40,079
mean I've put I've put some weird stuff in there before,

422
00:18:40,079 --> 00:18:44,319
asparagus before, just to try it, you know, nothing too wild,

423
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,799
but something you know, like orange juice, orange juice, oranges

424
00:18:47,799 --> 00:18:49,559
in the in the in the pot is something you

425
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:50,200
see every day.

426
00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, before we get into the chat questions from munchies,

427
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,200
you know, I'm on TikTok a lot and I see

428
00:18:56,279 --> 00:18:59,240
these two guys, Josh and Jase. Now there's the Okay,

429
00:18:59,319 --> 00:19:01,680
you've seen them from UK, right. They were in Louisiana

430
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:02,480
for about two weeks.

431
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 5: I saw it.

432
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 4: To the food recommendations for them, they went everywhere. Like

433
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,400
if you had like somebody from out of the country

434
00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:09,440
or maybe just on the other side of the US,

435
00:19:09,559 --> 00:19:12,279
like what would be your go to Louisiana dish.

436
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:12,799
Speaker 5: To cook for someone?

437
00:19:13,599 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 11: Yes, that's a good one. Man. I don't know, you know,

438
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,680
I guess it depends on the time of the year.

439
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,039
But John Mala or Ettis Sayers, you know, you know,

440
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,920
like I mean, honestly, if it was this time of

441
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,680
the year, I would invite them to a Crosser's book

442
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,200
because it's that social gathering that and invite some friends,

443
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,920
you know, because I mean, honestly, it's kind of fun

444
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,640
to watch people who've never eaten crossers before struggle with

445
00:19:34,759 --> 00:19:37,000
a little bit, you know, and and throw some crabs

446
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,079
in there and just introduce them to, you know, the

447
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,920
things that are truly maybe some gator too, because you know,

448
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,599
gator is one of those things that people look at

449
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,759
and are like, no, no way in hell that you know,

450
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,799
I'm ever going to eat that. But when you when

451
00:19:48,839 --> 00:19:51,440
you try it the first time, you know like it's

452
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,960
it's wow, that was good. And I mean gator even

453
00:19:55,079 --> 00:19:58,319
has different pieces of the body that taste different, Like

454
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,559
there's a piece of the gator that taste a little

455
00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:02,359
bit like turkey. There's a piece that tastes a little

456
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,359
bit like like pork win to me, and you know

457
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,319
everybody says it tastes like chicken. So I think probably

458
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,279
some gator on there too.

459
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 5: Hashtag monchies. Is there a dish you don't like making?

460
00:20:16,759 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 11: Man? You know, I think breakfast as a whole is

461
00:20:19,839 --> 00:20:22,480
just not my cup of tea anymore because I've had

462
00:20:22,519 --> 00:20:24,599
to wake up and cook breakfast so many times, like

463
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,200
I like to it, just breakfast is one of those

464
00:20:28,279 --> 00:20:30,640
meals that has to be done quick, quick, quick, and people,

465
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,079
you know, not only that, you know, breakfast doesn't have

466
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,880
as much variety in its capabilities. You know, like in

467
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,079
my opinion, you know, lunch and dinner you can make

468
00:20:41,279 --> 00:20:43,640
just about anything for lunch and dinner and people will

469
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,440
be happy. You can even make breakfast for dinner and

470
00:20:46,519 --> 00:20:48,680
people will be happy. But you can't make dinner for

471
00:20:48,759 --> 00:20:50,920
breakfast right because it's it's a little too heavy, and

472
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,079
so then you're then you have eggs pancake. You know,

473
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,599
like there's not a whole lot of variety in breakfast,

474
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,359
and I just thought it kind of it's a little

475
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,160
mundane for me.

476
00:21:00,839 --> 00:21:03,799
Speaker 5: Hashtag manchies chef.

477
00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 4: I'm cooking a Cajun pasta this afternoon. What are chef's

478
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,519
favorite type of pasta to use with that style dish?

479
00:21:11,319 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 11: I like using fresh pasta and and like parpadel or

480
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,319
or you know, like long fat noodles. I don't like

481
00:21:19,519 --> 00:21:22,759
using you know, like smaller noodles. I like, I like

482
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,119
pasta laya or or Cajun pasta dishes like that with

483
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,920
with longer noodles that hold the sauce well. But what

484
00:21:31,079 --> 00:21:34,119
I really love is having fresh noodles, you know, noodles

485
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,279
that are handmade. And there's some places in New Orleans

486
00:21:37,319 --> 00:21:40,720
that do that really well. I don't really like once

487
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:43,839
you've had a fresh noodle, you know, like it's really

488
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,200
difficult to go back to the dried stuff because it

489
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,960
it just tastes and palatability wise is entirely different. It's

490
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,480
a new experience, and I think it's it's superior to

491
00:21:54,039 --> 00:21:57,039
dried noodles hashtag monchies.

492
00:21:57,079 --> 00:21:59,799
Speaker 4: I have these serrano peppers in my garden and I

493
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:00,960
have a ton of them.

494
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 5: What should I cook with them?

495
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 11: Roast them?

496
00:22:03,599 --> 00:22:03,839
Speaker 6: Gosh?

497
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 11: I love serrano peppers, man, They're they're you know, like

498
00:22:06,319 --> 00:22:07,759
you can put them in the oven, oil them and

499
00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:10,839
roast them slow. You can pickle them, you know, you

500
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,920
can dehydrate them and make a powder out of them

501
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,119
and mix it in with the seasoning.

502
00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 6: Uh.

503
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,279
Speaker 11: I don't know if I should pickle them or not,

504
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,039
but I mean, I love serrano peppers. They're they're just

505
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,759
spicy enough that you know, most people will tolerate them.

506
00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:26,440
And and if you like put them on the grill

507
00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:29,240
and chart them, they turn out, you know, like smoky,

508
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,839
and they're they're they're just they're they're a pretty versatile pepper.

509
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,759
Speaker 5: So could you could you just stell it like a

510
00:22:36,759 --> 00:22:37,519
stuffed bell pepper?

511
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,519
Speaker 11: H Serrano's a little bit small for that, but I mean,

512
00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:44,400
I guess you could if if you wanted to but

513
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,599
they're they're a little small for that. But you know,

514
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,359
like I like to fire roast them and put them

515
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,839
on I sorry, I like to put them on a

516
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,799
on an open fire and roast them and then put

517
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,400
and then pull the skin off of them and and

518
00:22:56,599 --> 00:22:59,039
use it as like as a uh you know, like

519
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,359
a roasted Toronto pepper, like you would have roasted red pepper.

520
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,799
They're spicier, they're more charismatic. Yeah, I think you just

521
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,559
use it as an ingredient and the dish at.

522
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,559
Speaker 5: That point, stag monchiz.

523
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 4: Any opinion on a combo grill being both propane and charcoal,

524
00:23:14,319 --> 00:23:16,359
is having gas burners even necessary?

525
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,319
Speaker 11: Gosh, that's you know, gas is really convenient for the backyard,

526
00:23:21,599 --> 00:23:24,720
and you know, like it's hard to deny that when

527
00:23:24,759 --> 00:23:27,079
you have a family and kids and people are like, hey,

528
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,079
I'm ready to eat now. But you know, if you're

529
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,319
wanting to do it, well, I'm always the charcoal guy,

530
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,480
you know. I like the flames. I like I like

531
00:23:35,599 --> 00:23:38,319
the flavor of the you know, the burning fire and

532
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,079
the smoke. And I always soak some wood. I go

533
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,799
and get some some wood chunks and soak them in

534
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,200
water overnight and then throw them on the side of

535
00:23:46,279 --> 00:23:49,960
the of the of the charcoal morning both to give them,

536
00:23:50,319 --> 00:23:52,400
you know, like as it as the fire burns, it

537
00:23:52,519 --> 00:23:55,480
makes that that that wet would smoke and smolder. But

538
00:23:55,559 --> 00:23:58,720
it just adds, you know, like character to whatever you're doing.

539
00:23:59,839 --> 00:24:01,559
Speaker 5: Just one more for you here, shat before we get

540
00:24:01,599 --> 00:24:02,039
you out of here.

541
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 4: Well, first off, the reason I am hosting this week

542
00:24:04,559 --> 00:24:06,960
is because Jacob Ester's out in Dustin for the SEC

543
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,200
Spring Meeting. So an honor of Jake being out in Dustin.

544
00:24:10,599 --> 00:24:12,160
What is your favorite beach meal?

545
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 11: I mean fresh fish, you know, I mean or shrimp,

546
00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:18,440
fresh shrimp like the v J. I think one of

547
00:24:18,519 --> 00:24:20,319
the And I don't know that you can get counk

548
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,359
and in Dustin. But when I got married, we we

549
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,759
got married in Grant, Cayman and then went to Belize

550
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:31,319
the next day and this guy literally snorkled out and

551
00:24:31,839 --> 00:24:33,720
grabbed a conk and brought it in and they made

552
00:24:33,759 --> 00:24:36,279
conk on the beach. Right there s VJ conksta Vich

553
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,400
And you know, if conk hasn't been frozen, it's it's

554
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,559
a little bit like clam, the muscular texture to it.

555
00:24:44,759 --> 00:24:47,079
And there's something special about conks of VJ on the beach,

556
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,200
or even fish fish to J or shrimps of VJ

557
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,559
on the beach. You know, like fresh made tortilla chips

558
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,720
of cold beer, you know, a little bit of spice

559
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,160
in the stavch to you know, make your make you

560
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,839
sweat and and and need to drinking up. They're drinking here.

561
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,279
I think that's kind of special.

562
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was Munchi's LSU executive Chef Michael Johnson. Chef Johnson,

Speaker 5: How are you this morning?

601
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,599
Speaker 10: I'm great. I'm actually heading to the ballpark right now?

602
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:06,079
Speaker 3: How are you?

603
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 5: I am doing good. You were in Hoover last weekend?

604
00:27:09,079 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 6: Right?

605
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:09,559
Speaker 11: How was that?

606
00:27:10,839 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 10: It was amazing? I wish Lash's that could, you know,

607
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:17,119
kind of come alive. But aside from that, the atmosphere

608
00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:20,799
was great, the new additions to the ballpark, and also

609
00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:25,319
it just felt like alex Box East and it was amazing.

610
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 4: Oh look, let's dive right into it. The Tigers the

611
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,319
host site for that regional. As I just mentioned, what

612
00:27:32,599 --> 00:27:32,920
do you do?

613
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 5: You do you like this draw?

614
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,519
Speaker 4: I mean a lot of people were talking about how

615
00:27:35,599 --> 00:27:37,519
easy of a draw it is. Some people are cautioning,

616
00:27:37,599 --> 00:27:39,359
They're like, hang on, these teams can sneak up on you.

617
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,039
What are your thoughts about the whether it's Dallas, Baptist,

618
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,240
Rhode Island, Little Rock?

619
00:27:43,599 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 5: You like this regional for the Tigers?

620
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 10: I think it's a very reasonable draw. I think it's

621
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,200
an easier pass than maybe some other opportunities they had

622
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,599
years ago. But I agree, I think we're not trying

623
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,599
to have one of those coastal Carolinas again or the

624
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,960
Stony Brook Like I'm not okay with that. So I

625
00:28:04,079 --> 00:28:07,279
think you definitely can't overlook any of these teams. But

626
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,440
I definitely think it's favorable for LSU to really be

627
00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:15,519
able to break out of this slump and get things

628
00:28:15,599 --> 00:28:16,559
going offensively.

629
00:28:17,599 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 4: Speaking of the salump, let's get into that right there,

630
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,599
because a second ago you mentioned that you wish ll

631
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,599
issues bats, what can alive a little bit more on Hoover,

632
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,519
as did the rest of us. How concerned are you

633
00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:28,720
about this lack of hitting you've seen lately.

634
00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 10: It's concerning in the sense of I would say the

635
00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:36,759
start of the season and midway through, everybody talks about

636
00:28:36,839 --> 00:28:40,559
how everybody could hit on this lineup from one through nine.

637
00:28:40,839 --> 00:28:45,200
Now you're seeing when you go into sec play, you're

638
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,880
seeing better arms, You're facing tougher competition, so it's one

639
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,039
of those things of you're seeing better arms, so it's

640
00:28:52,079 --> 00:28:53,880
harder to hit. But I think the meat of this

641
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,799
lineup really needs to come alive. We've seen Stephen Monster

642
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,480
milem he's been struggling at the plate here. Jones has

643
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,480
had a few hits here and there, but not just

644
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:06,680
the slugging hitting machine that we're used to seeing. Daniel

645
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,039
Dickinson hasn't really been hitting really well either, and then

646
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,559
Derek Curiell has been in this slump which you expect

647
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,720
to see from a true freshman. And then you have

648
00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:18,880
Ethan Fry, who's been pretty consistent for this team. But

649
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,079
you're talking about a guy who hadn't had a lot

650
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,839
of playing time in his career at LSU. He's had

651
00:29:25,119 --> 00:29:28,039
injury problems, and so now you're relying on Ethan Fry

652
00:29:28,119 --> 00:29:31,400
as being really that guy hitting in this lineup. That's

653
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,240
not a great look. I think facing some arms that

654
00:29:34,319 --> 00:29:37,640
are not as elite as the SEC teams that you've faced,

655
00:29:38,039 --> 00:29:39,480
you can kind of get out of that and get

656
00:29:39,519 --> 00:29:42,000
into a rhythm. We know LSU hits a lot better

657
00:29:42,079 --> 00:29:44,480
off the box. They average nine runs a game at

658
00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:46,880
home as opposed to on the road they averaged five.

659
00:29:47,039 --> 00:29:49,640
So I think you'll see a little bit more offensive production,

660
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,880
or at least I hope, because six hits in Hoover

661
00:29:53,319 --> 00:29:55,839
total is not going to cut it in postseason play.

662
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,759
But I think Jilly and the guys are going to

663
00:29:57,839 --> 00:29:59,839
be ready to go and have something to prove after

664
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,039
not doing so well offensively in Hoover just a week ago.

665
00:30:04,599 --> 00:30:07,759
Speaker 4: Well, Trussell, let's say that these bats don't pick up,

666
00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:09,720
or maybe they pick up a little, but not to

667
00:30:09,839 --> 00:30:11,960
the level that we want to see can the pitch

668
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,160
and carry this team to Omahall.

669
00:30:14,119 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 10: I think so. I absolutely think so. I think you

670
00:30:16,519 --> 00:30:19,880
have one of the best pitching duos in the country

671
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,400
with Kate Anderson and Anthony Ironston. I think you're gonna

672
00:30:23,519 --> 00:30:26,319
rely heavily on these guys. But I think also what

673
00:30:26,519 --> 00:30:28,680
you saw in Hoover is a positive when you see

674
00:30:28,799 --> 00:30:31,839
Jaden Newt kind of coming into his own. He's battled

675
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,119
injury coming off with Tommy John, hadn't had a whole

676
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,720
lot of opportunities, and now he's healthy and kind of

677
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,680
being that guy you expected him to be. I love

678
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,079
Kase Schwartz coming out of the pen. I think he

679
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,519
can let it rip as opposed to trying to go

680
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,680
deeper in the ball game. So he's kind of found

681
00:30:47,759 --> 00:30:51,039
his niche in this bullpen. And also I think Cason

682
00:30:51,079 --> 00:30:54,559
Evans is that three guy that he needed. I know

683
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,480
the past two outings have not been topped here for him,

684
00:30:57,559 --> 00:30:59,839
but he's also an elite arm. He's a true fresh

685
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,680
You're gonna have ups and downs. I think him not

686
00:31:02,839 --> 00:31:05,039
pitching and Hoover is showing you that Jay kind of

687
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,079
wants to conserve him and him be ready to go

688
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,359
for postseason plays. So I think, especially with Jacob Myers

689
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,240
pitching as well as he had, he can be one

690
00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:17,319
of those guys who comes in and closes it and

691
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,000
you're not gonna hit one hundred and one. And these

692
00:31:20,039 --> 00:31:22,599
are teams that probably haven't seen somebody throw on one

693
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,599
hundred and one. So if he can limit the walks,

694
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,039
I just think this bullpen and especially in that starting rotation,

695
00:31:28,279 --> 00:31:31,519
can really take you the distance, just as far.

696
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,359
Speaker 5: As the pitching rotation goes. For this weekend.

697
00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:35,839
Speaker 4: This was something that was brought up yesterday. I saw

698
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,000
it all over social media. I don't think this happens.

699
00:31:39,039 --> 00:31:40,480
I do want to get your opinion on it though.

700
00:31:40,519 --> 00:31:42,680
As far as like you played Little Rock Game one,

701
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,240
you could have Dallas Baptist or Rhode Island Game two.

702
00:31:45,519 --> 00:31:47,839
Do you think LSU would pitch off, meaning not throw

703
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,279
Kate Anderson game one. I think Jay rolls with Anderson

704
00:31:50,319 --> 00:31:51,839
game one. It's kind of want to hear your thoughts

705
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:52,000
on that.

706
00:31:53,519 --> 00:31:57,559
Speaker 10: I think Jay is a man of he does not

707
00:31:57,799 --> 00:32:01,440
break characters. He's gonna do his routine and what he's done.

708
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:04,559
If he throws Paul Schemes against Tulane, I think Kate

709
00:32:04,599 --> 00:32:09,039
Anderson is going to go Friday afternoon. I just I

710
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,319
think Jay is he set himself up where he could

711
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,160
either throw Anthony or he could throw Cade. But I

712
00:32:16,319 --> 00:32:19,359
just think he's not going to mess with what's worked

713
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,400
so well for them all season long. I think you

714
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,039
give the ball to Case. I think Anthony gets the

715
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,480
ball for Game two, and I wouldn't be surprised as

716
00:32:27,559 --> 00:32:31,480
Case Nevin goes Game three. People have talked about Jay

717
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,279
pitching off and having Nuke come in, but I don't

718
00:32:34,319 --> 00:32:36,559
think Nuke comes in, especially after what he did in

719
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,799
Hoover on a Saturday. I don't think you're gonna give

720
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,519
him a short coming off of a one day's rest

721
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,160
or four days rest instead of five. So for me,

722
00:32:46,279 --> 00:32:48,680
I think it's going to be kid getting a ball

723
00:32:48,799 --> 00:32:49,720
for Friday for sure.

724
00:32:50,519 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 5: So before we get you out of here.

725
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,839
Speaker 4: Obviously, the team that everybody's watching in this regional outside

726
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,519
of LSU is Dallas Baptist, right because of how good

727
00:32:57,559 --> 00:33:00,200
of a program they've been in recent years. So you

728
00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:02,440
played them this year, but that was early in February.

729
00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:05,359
Both these teams are completely different. Like how dangerous of

730
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,119
a team coul Dallas Baptists be in this regional.

731
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,599
Speaker 10: I think they could be very dangerous and it's a

732
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,839
team you don't want to overlook and you definitely want

733
00:33:12,839 --> 00:33:14,680
to have your best stuff. I think they have home

734
00:33:14,759 --> 00:33:17,599
run hitting power. I think they have three arms that

735
00:33:17,799 --> 00:33:22,039
can get them to Omaha. But what we've seen from DBU,

736
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,920
they can win at a regional, they just can't ever

737
00:33:25,039 --> 00:33:27,400
get past the super regional to get to Omaha. I

738
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,480
think the head coach has done a phenomenal job, and

739
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,799
I think it's eighteen seasons there at DBU. I think

740
00:33:32,839 --> 00:33:36,119
they're dangerous and I think that Jay's going to definitely

741
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,319
say one of his aces to go against them and

742
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,559
try to put them away. If LSU handles business like

743
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,839
they should, I think LSU is set out to have,

744
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,640
you know, better arms for the weekend to put them

745
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,480
in a position to win to advance to a super regional.

746
00:33:53,599 --> 00:33:57,599
So again, don't overlook DBU. We've seen baseball it's kind

747
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,000
of crazy, especially at the box. So I just it's

748
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:03,359
one of those things that can't overlook. The Patriots and

749
00:34:03,759 --> 00:34:05,680
I think Jerry's going to have this team ready to go,

750
00:34:05,799 --> 00:34:07,640
and I think it's going to be a big, big

751
00:34:08,039 --> 00:34:11,079
advantage for LSU to be home, to have that crowd

752
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,599
environment and just it's a different animal at the box

753
00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:16,760
and posteason play and I think we're going to see that,

754
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,679
and I definitely think that's going to play a factor

755
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,840
in how well l she does this weekend.

756
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 4: All right, CHESSA, I know you got a busy weekend

757
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,559
ahead of you, so we'll let you go, but have

758
00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:25,960
a going.

759
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 5: Thanks for hopping on with us.

760
00:34:27,599 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 10: Thanks so much, Taylor, I have a go.

761
00:34:29,039 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 4: Absolutely, that was chess up Bigshe right there with WVLA

762
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,719
sports reporter. She will be out at Alec Box for

763
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,320
the Bat and Rouge Regional this weekend. Are we going

764
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,719
to take a quick time out and we get back

765
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,880
a little extended edition of Ask the Bench to close

766
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:41,440
things out here?

767
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,079
Speaker 3: Off the Bench?

768
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:43,639
Speaker 7: All right?

769
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 2: So you heard Flynn the other day. I mean he

770
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:47,519
loves do sequies.

771
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:48,119
Speaker 10: You know that.

772
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 6: We hear on the OTV team love do sequis. It

773
00:34:51,599 --> 00:34:56,519
is the perfect beer for any occasion. Lake beer, beach beer,

774
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,800
shower beer, bath beer, you name it, beer like ballpark beer.

775
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,960
It is the go to and we've said it, We're

776
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,360
going to continue to say it whether you're tailgating outside

777
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,360
of Tiger stadium, watching the Saints on a Sunday, or

778
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,519
just kicking back with your crew. Dose Sekis brings that

779
00:35:13,679 --> 00:35:18,639
bowl flavor and smooth finish that turns ordinary into legendary.

780
00:35:19,119 --> 00:35:20,079
Speaker 2: It's not just beer.

781
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 6: It is the beer of champions, or at least the

782
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,519
beer of guys who feel like champions. But you will

783
00:35:25,599 --> 00:35:28,159
feel like a champion when you enjoy an ice cold

784
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,639
Dose Sekis. So you don't have to be a champion,

785
00:35:30,679 --> 00:35:33,400
because Dose Sekis will make you a champion. So the

786
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,599
next time you're watching the game, grab a do Sekis

787
00:35:35,639 --> 00:35:39,000
and remember stay thirsty, my friends responsibly, of course, do

788
00:35:39,119 --> 00:35:43,440
Ski's official beer of unforgettable sports moments. This is Off

789
00:35:43,480 --> 00:36:05,840
the Bench, all.

790
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 5: Right, welcome, welcome back.

791
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,559
Speaker 4: In a final segment Thursday edition of Off the Bench,

792
00:36:12,599 --> 00:36:15,000
Taylor Sharp here with you, Alondra villaryl Jordan Kitchens.

793
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,079
Speaker 5: We have had a lot of fun the last three days.

794
00:36:17,199 --> 00:36:19,480
Least I have. I hope they have as well.

795
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,679
Speaker 4: We're gonna do ask the Bench here, but before we do,

796
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,679
Jordan told me about this during breaks. We're gonna play

797
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,599
this first. The College football twenty twenty six trailer just dropped,

798
00:36:27,639 --> 00:36:28,039
all right, like.

799
00:36:28,039 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: Twenty minutes ago, forty five minutes ago.

800
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 5: Now all right, well look you got a ready get

801
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:32,679
ready to go.

802
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 1: Let's get ready to go.

803
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 3: There's something in the air for Friday nights. It's just

804
00:36:54,480 --> 00:37:00,320
Saturday nights. Chapel Hill, a passing Dina.

805
00:37:01,679 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 12: It crackles down our spines, traditional detention wars that remind.

806
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 3: Our rifles they're not in cancer. It's electric. It shots

807
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:34,280
our nurse and ignites a place where the ground ships,

808
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,480
but our pride doesn't.

809
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 12: We're our coach, skined, playbook and character are unlike any other.

810
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 3: There's something in the air.

811
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 12: It builds us up, breaks them down, and gives us

812
00:38:00,039 --> 00:38:01,280
stadium a pulse.

813
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:04,679
Speaker 3: Built on pride.

814
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 4: All right, first thing, I noticed Inner Sandman's in the game,

815
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,280
which is great. So when I first got the game,

816
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,679
I was like, I'm going to play at Virginia Tech

817
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,719
just so I can run out of the tunnel Lanner Sandman.

818
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 5: And they didn't have it.

819
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 4: I mean what I had read was it was like

820
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,079
a licensing thing because you know, they were kind of

821
00:38:38,119 --> 00:38:40,360
trying to up the release date. They couldn't get the

822
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,159
music license in time. Glad to see that's in the game.

823
00:38:44,199 --> 00:38:45,760
High School Road to Glory.

824
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: I love like you was very advocate about us.

825
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 5: That was my thing.

826
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 4: And what I'm gonna do is, since I'm a petty

827
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,239
person and I've been hurt by Alabama too many times,

828
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,800
I'm going to commit to Alabama super early, flip on

829
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:57,760
National Sunny Day.

830
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,159
Speaker 5: That's my that's my plan. They do it to everybody, yea,

831
00:39:00,199 --> 00:39:02,760
So I'm gonna flip the script a little bit. I'm excited.

832
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 4: Graphics look insane crazy, so I'm I'm I'm pretty excited

833
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:07,000
about it.

834
00:39:07,119 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: Did you peep the coaches?

835
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:08,519
Speaker 8: Now?

836
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 5: I did, yea. So it's kind of weird. In the

837
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:12,840
original game, like no coaches.

838
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,679
Speaker 4: Coaches weren't in it because I really wanted to play

839
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,079
as Deon Sanders and I couldn't do it, So you know,

840
00:39:17,159 --> 00:39:19,079
I was I was a little upset that they weren't

841
00:39:19,119 --> 00:39:19,440
in the game.

842
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,519
Speaker 5: All the coaches in the game. So that's that's actually

843
00:39:21,519 --> 00:39:21,960
pretty cool.

844
00:39:22,119 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 8: Does that mean Bill Belich because you know he's notorious

845
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,400
for never being on Madden Bill Belichick, So is he

846
00:39:26,519 --> 00:39:30,719
gonna be I don't know, Likelick's.

847
00:39:29,639 --> 00:39:31,079
Speaker 4: Doing a lot of things he doesn't normally do. Now

848
00:39:31,159 --> 00:39:33,519
he's in North Carolina, so we will, uh, we will

849
00:39:33,559 --> 00:39:35,360
find out. Okay, look before we get out of here,

850
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,920
let's do a quick ask the bench or the first

851
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,039
one comes in and says, ask the bench, if you

852
00:39:42,159 --> 00:39:46,400
could decorate the host table however which way you wanted to.

853
00:39:46,639 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 5: What would you do?

854
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,039
Speaker 9: So alone would.

855
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 5: Probably be better at this than me, Like I mean.

856
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,119
Speaker 4: Right now we just put up the lsu homets and

857
00:39:53,159 --> 00:39:54,480
then we have like the sponsored stuff.

858
00:39:54,559 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 5: I don't know, like what would you do.

859
00:39:57,599 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 9: Hmm, like for me or for off the bench?

860
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,559
Speaker 5: I guess, like I guess for you. I don't know

861
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,039
every show. I guess then mac huh.

862
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,119
Speaker 7: Like you had to change the desk, I think if

863
00:40:08,159 --> 00:40:13,079
it were for me, definitely throwing a Spurs jersey up there.

864
00:40:13,679 --> 00:40:16,239
I have one, but we're gonna put it front facing

865
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,679
so that nobody sees that it's a Kawhi Leonard jersey.

866
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,639
Maybe like a little tiny like have you ever seen

867
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,639
just for decoration purposes? Have you ever seen those like

868
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,559
little bluetoothed old timey radio looking thing.

869
00:40:31,119 --> 00:40:36,199
Speaker 9: I might put one of I have so a listener

870
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,960
shout out William Anthony. He sent me.

871
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 7: Whenever the Houston Astros had like a da this night,

872
00:40:44,679 --> 00:40:46,880
so he sent me a bubble head that's like, uh,

873
00:40:48,039 --> 00:40:53,719
like a sugar skull. Yeah, and it's a sugar school thing,

874
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,760
so it'd be like super cool. I need something el

875
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:02,800
Su up there, so maybe keat the LSU helmet keep

876
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,079
the do sekies for sure.

877
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:06,199
Speaker 1: I don't know.

878
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:09,599
Speaker 2: I like that.

879
00:41:09,679 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm I'm basic, Like I put this up

880
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,559
and I set it up the exact same way, just

881
00:41:14,639 --> 00:41:16,840
because that's how it's always been set up. Like the

882
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,760
most I've ever done was switch Mike Allsot to this

883
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,000
side of the table since this is Jake's going to

884
00:41:22,039 --> 00:41:23,800
sit now that Flyn's and if Flint can come in

885
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,239
and add his own stuff. I like the two helmets

886
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,760
in the center for this particular show. I do like that,

887
00:41:29,559 --> 00:41:31,679
and then the Doseki's right in front, like those will

888
00:41:31,679 --> 00:41:33,320
stay because like those are sponsored stuff.

889
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 7: But uh, maybe by like a replica, like a little

890
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,719
replica of Alec Box Stadium and put that up.

891
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, that's cool, that's cool. I do like that.

892
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 4: Ask the bench best beach drink, that's what beach drink? Yeah,

893
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,199
I mean when we talked about the what's the one

894
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,079
you brought? The salt in the lime one you brought.

895
00:41:54,119 --> 00:41:56,400
I mean that's literally made for the beach. It's it's

896
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:57,800
got the salt in the lime already in it.

897
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,119
Speaker 5: So that's one.

898
00:41:59,679 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

899
00:42:00,159 --> 00:42:04,119
Speaker 5: Now as far as non beer, I don't know.

900
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:05,559
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess I would have to drink a

901
00:42:05,599 --> 00:42:07,840
beer on the beach just because, like I'm at the beach,

902
00:42:08,079 --> 00:42:10,039
the sand's gonna get everywhere in the open cup. Like

903
00:42:10,159 --> 00:42:13,280
I'm probably just just going cannor bottle er. I mean

904
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,760
that that's the answer. It's it's it's a it's a

905
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,400
bottle of dose Heckies. I mean, that's that's that's the answer.

906
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:24,039
It's ask the bench. Is Jake really back tomorrow? Yeah,

907
00:42:24,159 --> 00:42:27,000
Jake's back tomorrow, he is. I asked him, and he

908
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,239
liked the message and he was talking, and we have

909
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,719
a meeting tomorrow after the show that him and Fluann

910
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,000
are both going to be at. So yeah, uh, Jake,

911
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,119
Jake is back tomorrow unless something changes and he lets

912
00:42:38,199 --> 00:42:41,239
us know tonight. As of right now, Jake is definitely

913
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,599
back tomorrow. You gotta remember, Jake was never the one

914
00:42:44,679 --> 00:42:46,679
that would go on vacation and extended by a day.

915
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,719
That was always tea Bob every time T Bob was

916
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,199
scheduled to come back. He would push it back today, Jake.

917
00:42:51,679 --> 00:42:54,400
Jake never really did that. So yeah, Jake, I trusted

918
00:42:54,559 --> 00:42:54,960
I trust it.

919
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:55,519
Speaker 5: He's back now.

920
00:42:55,559 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 4: If this was if Hester was the one that laughed

921
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,400
and t Bob was solo in the show, no, I

922
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,239
would fully beck for us to come in here tomorrow

923
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,159
and uh him not be there.

924
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 5: But it Uh yeah he is. He is scheduled to

925
00:43:08,119 --> 00:43:08,519
be back.

926
00:43:08,599 --> 00:43:12,199
Speaker 4: Ask the bench, Will Taylor now start going topless on Fridays?

927
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: Hope?

928
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:15,519
Speaker 9: Probably not blinded?

929
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 5: Probably not.

930
00:43:16,599 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, when when Flynn gets here, we'll

931
00:43:18,519 --> 00:43:20,159
work shop a couple of things. We'll see what happens.

932
00:43:20,199 --> 00:43:22,039
I'm gonna say no, I mean if if that, if

933
00:43:22,079 --> 00:43:24,119
that's my vote, I'll say no. I mean, I guess

934
00:43:24,199 --> 00:43:26,599
we could put it to a vote. Probably not again.

935
00:43:27,199 --> 00:43:29,880
Gotta pale the lights in here pretty bright, uh laundred,

936
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,199
probably have to wear sunglasses every single day. That's just

937
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,920
that's a lot of work for trust me, very little payoff.

938
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,559
So uh no, I mean, well we'll probably say.

939
00:43:37,519 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 5: No to that one. All right, here's one. Ask the bench.

940
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,159
Speaker 4: I'll throw you this when Jordan, what are you most

941
00:43:47,199 --> 00:43:48,960
excited about about the new college football game?

942
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 8: Most excited about definitely. I saw their Adam Formation subs,

943
00:43:55,239 --> 00:44:02,599
so that was definitely yeah, mascots. I'm just excited that

944
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,079
this game is back, you know, from being a kid

945
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,440
getting n Cuba fourteen back in the day. I mean

946
00:44:07,519 --> 00:44:09,199
my dad brought me to the midnight release of that

947
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,559
back in the day, so being a kid basically staying

948
00:44:12,599 --> 00:44:14,199
alive up until the point where I was able to

949
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,719
see the game come back. So I'm just happy with

950
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,719
the games just being back. And I was my favorite

951
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:19,320
game growing up.

952
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,519
Speaker 5: So you you talked about gaming a little bit when

953
00:44:23,519 --> 00:44:24,639
you're grown up? Did you ever play this?

954
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,559
Speaker 7: I played it like a long time ago, but it's

955
00:44:28,639 --> 00:44:31,000
not something I regularly played. No. I was more of

956
00:44:31,159 --> 00:44:36,519
like like first person shooter games like Halo, Call of Duty.

957
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,960
We were addicted to zombies, but I was more like

958
00:44:41,119 --> 00:44:46,639
the show Deise, that one's fun, which one? That one's

959
00:44:46,639 --> 00:44:49,039
on Black Ops too? I think too, I think too.

960
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,760
It was like the second map that they came out.

961
00:44:51,679 --> 00:44:53,679
Speaker 5: Like, it was like the old abandoned house, right, was

962
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:53,960
that the.

963
00:44:55,599 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 9: Well I guess it wasn't this.

964
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,199
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was the second map they came out with,

965
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,840
Like there's the one like the original one where you're

966
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,679
like in the room and then you have to open

967
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,519
the door and then you go upstairs or whatever. The

968
00:45:04,599 --> 00:45:06,800
second map that they came out with was Deise and

969
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,960
that's when they had like the thunder Gun.

970
00:45:10,159 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 5: Can you remember that one?

971
00:45:11,119 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 9: The raygun was the only one that they had in

972
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:14,079
the first one.

973
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't remember what your black ops that is.

974
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,239
They had one where it was like the underground town.

975
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, they had that one.

976
00:45:20,199 --> 00:45:24,679
Speaker 9: Uh so maybe I'm saying it wrong. That's the one

977
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:25,280
I'm talking about.

978
00:45:26,199 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 4: Like, Yeah, it was like the the skyscrapers and stuff.

979
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,599
You had to go up and down the elevator and stuff. Yeah,

980
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:35,159
I love awesome. Maybe that's that's probably it.

981
00:45:35,679 --> 00:45:38,559
Speaker 9: Just they had had the elevator and the other one when.

982
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,559
Speaker 4: You were in the Pentagon, so that's not and then

983
00:45:40,559 --> 00:45:44,119
they had the abandoned house had the underground Yah.

984
00:45:44,159 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 9: Kino is fun too because it's in the theater.

985
00:45:46,519 --> 00:45:46,679
Speaker 12: Yeah.

986
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,639
Speaker 7: I like that one too, Daniel Basha because you're like

987
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,719
in the theater and then you open the two doors

988
00:45:52,079 --> 00:45:52,840
and they all started.

989
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, zombie maps.
