Speaker 1: Yo, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Everyone?
Speaker 1: Welcome in to a brand new ot B. It's Tuesday, Thursday.
It's Thursday, April third. The worst part is I was
trying to read on the screen and I still screwed
it up. It is Thursday, April third, twenty twenty five.
Hope everybody's having a great morning. Chances are, though, it's
a very good chance you're listening to this and you're
on iten right now, and uh you are ready to
go full? Is it Martin Sheen? Is it the guy
named No No No in there's an old road rage
movie with Papa Sheen when La back in the day
he goes crazy on the entertain I've never seen it,
but I know of it. I've seen clips from it.
Nobody is in the idea Michael Douglas. Michael Doug say
that yet to him, thinking of Michael Douglas, not Martin.
Speaker 3: Sheen, the nineteen seventy two film Rage.
Speaker 1: Is Michael Douglass in it? Does you have them like
working in glasses? You know? I know this is a
disaster bit.
Speaker 4: All I'm trying.
Speaker 1: To imply is that you're probably feeling a bit of
road rage. And I do not think you should do
what he does, which I'm pretty sure involves violence. I
think you should just listen off the bench and we'll
maybe try to bring you a couple of laughs and
alleviate whatever frustrations you are currently feeling. Also, look, you're
right that wall going up on it ten. That's pretty cool.
You know, progress guys. But yeah, chances are your study trap.
So I'm sorry about that. But we do have a
great show for you today. Excited to break down this series,
Excited to talk to some coaches. But first let's see everyone.
So Jakie, what's up baby? How are we doing?
Speaker 4: Are we talking about falling down? I don't know. You
wouldn't know until you saw where were is the black
rim glasses?
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, yes, yes, the blases, Yes, that's what it is.
Is that Michael Douglas?
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, there, we got there together.
Speaker 1: I've never seen it, so I don't even know why
I brought it up. I just know he has about
road rage where he's triggered and he goes on like
an entire day of road raging.
Speaker 4: It's actually a pretty good movie.
Speaker 5: Oh wait, I have looked up Martin Sheen because you
said Martin Sheen at first.
Speaker 1: Aren't the Sheens and the Douglases involved somehow or faster
beginning of the show here continuing to just.
Speaker 6: Robert coming off.
Speaker 4: Anyway, Okay, you had a long morning anyway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're Yeah, it's a bit behind this morning, but
that's okay, very excited. How are you doing this morning?
Speaker 4: I'll go with me. Love that we have a Thursday
baseball series.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 4: Now it's always exciting get something to do on a
Thursday night.
Speaker 1: Yep. So cap tomorrow morning certainly again we'll be breaking
it down all morning long and lander. How are you
doing this morning? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Doing great. I actually really liked the Thursday through Saturday series.
Speaker 1: Yes, agree, I'm a fan. Agreed, So I like you
said that, like Jake had said that he didn't like it,
but uh no, but yeah, I was as well.
Speaker 3: I was reinforced.
Speaker 5: Actually was super judgy for somebody who couldn't remember the
name of this movie and said.
Speaker 1: Martin she was it was lashing out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, don't lash his I'm zero miles.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in a disaster mode.
Speaker 6: We'll get into that.
Speaker 4: I feel like Tae would be the complete opposite of that,
Like if he gets like to twenty five miles to empty.
He's spreading Like.
Speaker 7: My gas gauge car, I get gas when the guest
tells me to, like if there's a if it gets low,
but never in my life, if I've been on zero miles.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's those things.
Speaker 4: There.
Speaker 7: But like, did y'all do y'all not? Just like when
y'all are pulling into the driveway and be like, oh, hey,
I need.
Speaker 1: In the morning, and then in the morning you're not
used stopping for gas. You just roll on right past
the gas station. And then eventually you're like, oh my,
and you keep doing this cycle of Okay, I'll do
it next time I get in the car, but then
you keep forgetting and then eventually you look down and
you're like, so, yeah, I was getting coffee this morning.
I looked down, I'm on zero Like, uh.
Speaker 6: Victory, Victoria's that way for like she does that all
the time.
Speaker 1: So I think you're just too responsible. I think most
know that. No, that's trouble.
Speaker 3: Like, also, zero miles is not really zero miles. You
got a little more.
Speaker 1: There's no worse feeling though, when you're like on the
interstate in between exits and you're sitting there feathering the pedal,
like turn off the AC. I'm sure that we're just achieving,
gliding barely using as little pedal as you.
Speaker 4: Radio is probably going off.
Speaker 1: To I've never turned the radio.
Speaker 3: I was getting real nervous.
Speaker 6: Has nothing to do with the game, I say, is
that conserved? Guy, I've never done that.
Speaker 3: I think the AC does.
Speaker 1: We've all know, at least we all think that. Yeah,
I heard that back in the day. I don't know
if it's true or not. Definitely always operated like it is.
You want to know this live, Taylor, Sorry.
Speaker 4: Well is thrill?
Speaker 6: I always like, believe it or not.
Speaker 7: There's no drive through energy drink place, which actually, t Bob,
there's our next million dollar idea drive through energy drink
places Machinas station in the morning anyways, like to get
the energy drinks.
Speaker 6: I'm not always there, so it's never really you.
Speaker 3: Could buy like go to Costco.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's what I got you for Christmas. They do
sell them.
Speaker 1: Yeah they were great.
Speaker 7: But the problem is, like sometimes I'll be driving, I'm like,
I just don't know what I want. Like you know,
sometimes you don't know what you want to eat. Sometimes
I don't know what energy drink. I want gotta stop
in and get a new one.
Speaker 1: He does like to mix it up very funny.
Speaker 3: Today he hasn't had Red bullon of wine, and.
Speaker 7: I was like, you know what, that looks kind of good.
It's so fret's let's go with. Like me picking out
an energy drink is like other people picking out donut.
It's like you stand there and you're kind of just
like staring at the glass a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 6: I'll let two people go in front of me this
morning because I was like, I don't know.
Speaker 4: What I want to go ahead.
Speaker 1: No, you didn't know. It was one lady though she
was grabbed very that's that's very funny. Though you're sincerely
sitting there and and and she like, very sincerely, it's
sitting there.
Speaker 7: Anything that I consume during the day that could make
or break your entire day tea bomb.
Speaker 3: So there's like no sort of drive through convenience stores here.
Speaker 1: No, not that I know, apparently, though we now have
a like Korean convenience store. Did you see this little
Ramen stations and stuff? Yeah, I've somebody linked it to
me on Instagram. Seems pretty cool. I can't remember the
name of it.
Speaker 4: Though, Oh, sure, there's not that many of them, right, No.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I don't. I don't, I don't, I don't.
I don't think that there are go DJ says red
Bull Vanilla Vanilla ice.
Speaker 5: Berry, and I can't find it anywhere. I think they're
like winter editions you're talking about it. I think they
are like winter editions. So I think they don't have
them anymore. But they were so good, and it was
one of those things where you had to find them
at a gas station somewhere because they wouldn't have them.
Speaker 1: Do you think that the ritual is part of the
reason why you don't just want to buy a big
variety pack from the grocery store like the experience? Ye? Well, yeah,
like you know, it's because I kind of like the
ritual of getting coffee in the morning as opposed to
making it at home, even though you know I can
make it at home, but there's something nice about, you know,
having my interactions my guy Jason and whoever else is
working there that morning. Do you like stopping at the
gas station to start your day.
Speaker 7: It's not that I like it, but again, I'm never
out of gas because of that, because if I pull
in and I'm load, and I'm like, oh, I can
just get it right here.
Speaker 6: It's just convenient. It's just convenient for me.
Speaker 4: Does Jason judge you for not having the app?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: You think he does, like internally, you should ask him.
Speaker 1: No, Hey, j man, Jason's a grinder.
Speaker 4: He grinds coffee, for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, also grinds. He holds down a couple of jobs.
He's a beast. But no, we don't judge each other relationships,
not like that. Very supportive of one another.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, it'd be judging you because it's something
that could help you. Yeah, you know, he's got your
best interest at heart. I got so much free coffee.
Speaker 3: You're missing out on so much free stuff.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, you know. Actually I don't have an argument
and all right, but whatever. I don't know, it's not
going to change at this point. It's it is what
it is. But y'all are right, y'all are objectively morning,
They're right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 5: I've had like at least three free coffees just this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, sorry, I like to support local Yeah, I'm sure,
money back in your local economy. Relax, Okay, are there
not employees there that live here. Okay, you know, yes,
is the corporation absolutely, and I wish they'd pay their
employees more, but you know he still has local employees,
so you could stop. You tip Jason, Yes, so tip
a dollar every coffee. I tip a dollar generally.
Speaker 7: Like that's a nice thing that I'm just laughing because
y'all are like, guys, I get free coffee. I was like,
not only do I not get free coffee, I spend
extra everything.
Speaker 1: Well, it's it's it's it's it's I think if you're
gonna get coffee, you should tip a dollar.
Speaker 3: I chip whenever.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: Also, I feel like if I'm at like a place
where they assemble my meal in front of me, like
a Cava Chipotle, yeah, uh finnbomb whatever, I'll do a
dollar there. Yeah, because I don't think twenty percent. Yeah,
I mean it's not yet. I mean whatever, you're not
like taking my orders.
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's just easier for me to just click.
Speaker 1: Assemble it type. Yeah. But nowadays, did you know those
things get up to like fourteen fifteen bucks and then
twenty percent You're looking like twenty bucks for like freaking sandwich.
I'm like, I don't know about all that, but I'll
give you, but you know, just do a dollar yeah
zo dollar?
Speaker 3: About takeout? Like when you go pick up take out?
Speaker 5: Do you tip if I pick up at the restaurant? Yeah,
this is controversial, I know, No.
Speaker 1: That's that's five dollars. Maybe so you do sometimes every time?
Speaker 4: Standard amount five bucks?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, so I'm I'm actually I will, but it's weird.
I gotta do a little bit lower just because like
I don't know who made that food, I don't know
who prepared it. So like I'm kind of like I'm
a in takeout if I'm picking it up, I'm like
a ten percent tipper just in take.
Speaker 4: Probably going into the pool of tips, not to one individual,
I think.
Speaker 6: So it's it's it's confusing to me.
Speaker 1: I like a good I think a five dollar tips
also a good number. Now with inflation, maybe maybe I'm wrong,
but like back in the day, it didn't matter if
I was getting like one pizza, where maybe that's like
a big tip or like a billion pizzas, five dollars
was always like a great pizza tip, pizza tip, And
I'm kind of like that with Chinese food as well.
Are those delivery apps make it really hard to to
want a tip because yeah, all of a sudden, your
price is just like kid, something about that too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do a different outfit, you kid, anywhere maybe y'all.
Speaker 1: Like over the top Chinese dragon be dazzled amount food
delivery prices.
Speaker 7: Yeah, this last one was American flag and they're like, kid,
can you wear something different? Yeah, no problem shows.
Speaker 1: Or or or even more idiocracy, just like a giant
Dominoes track suit, you know, like Dominoes or pizza suit.
Speaker 3: You got dollar bills on the suit where.
Speaker 1: It's only a matter of time. Yeah, he's gonna he's
gonna ban or he's gonna lobby for the banning of
the Federal Reserve. Is in a giant but dazzled money suit.
Speaker 3: Then he's gonna get on a ship that a serious receipts.
Speaker 1: Quillis is just charged me an extra dollar for the
sandwich and eliminate this song and dance. Look, that boat
has sailed tipping cultures already here, so it is what
it is.
Speaker 7: Coles is not realizing they already charge you an extra
dollar for that same wagen. You're gonna tip on top
of it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, very ms.
Speaker 5: Jason and I love it, Daniel Basha, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean would hate t bomb, yes if he called it.
Speaker 7: He's like, Dave, like I need advice, but like the
problem is like I go, I buy coffee every morning
and I tip and he's like, why don't.
Speaker 6: You just use the app to bob.
Speaker 1: A great clip of Who's it that loves everybody?
Speaker 3: Everybody here loves Dave Ramsey.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think they have a very good working relationship.
Speaker 7: I think that Dave Ramsey is a smart guy. I
think he still thinks that it's ten to fifteen years ago.
That's that's also a thing that that's actually fair.
Speaker 4: I think I couldn't pick out of a lineup, so
I have no Oh no, I couldn't.
Speaker 1: I saw a very funny Dave Ramsey clip online the
other day.
Speaker 3: Their social media team is pretty.
Speaker 1: Good where a guest was challenging him. I don't think
they put this out there, but a guest was challenging
him on how does he the square his Christian beliefs
with like owning all these different houses and all this
property and everything. And he was like, oh, I'm I'm
managing it for.
Speaker 3: God Mega Church.
Speaker 1: It was it's very eli Jimstone name.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a hurricane. He was like, no, guys, we
don't have room for you here. Yeah, this huge mega
church that was ben.
Speaker 4: If we only had some room, you can fit a
football field in here.
Speaker 1: Bud Uh. Speaking of the Gymstones, I just finished season three.
That's a very good show. Show very it's it's it's
it's hilarious, it's it is pure Danny McBride. Uh, distilled
down anyway, Uh, let's go to break and then when
we get back, take a look at this Oklahoma Sooner team.

Speaker 2: Welcome back to the best morning sports show around sorta.
It's off the Bench with Hester and.
Speaker 1: T BOP was heading y'all. Welcome back otb RB Thursday
in full swing. So LSU hitting the road to take
on the Oklahoma Sooners Thursday series getting underway tonight. LSU
at twenty seven and three, best record through thirty games
since twenty thirteen, in which they were twenty two. Maybe
more surprisingly, LSU seven and two sec record also the
best since twenty three. Well, I guess it's not more
surprising enough to read the first step, but still seventy two,
you know, I mean, it's really not actually, but I
guess the the I guess the bigger takeaway read in
the overall record is that don't take lightly how good
this start has been with the two sweeps, because you
haven't had a start like this in conference in twelve years.
It's a big deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, should we get started with how big of a
deal it is?
Speaker 4: They we should don't tell me what to do, but yes, absolutely, yeah, yeah, right.
Speaker 2: It's still to get to work courtesy of Tiger Labor
and Staffing where they can help take care of screening, training,
payroll and more.
Speaker 1: Now for starters, Tiger Labor truly vets their employees. They
build relationships with them. Okay, they don't just look at
their job history. They get to know every potential employed
during the in person onboarding process and every morning over
a cup of coffee. So not just forty new resumes,
but interviewed in dispatching in person every morning five am.
Tiger Labor and Staffing. So how about this man LSU
right now number one in the SEC, number three in
the nation with that team average of three point thirty seven.
Almost no one in the country right now hitting the
ball as well or as consistently as your LSU Tigers.
Speaker 4: Not close either. Georgia is second place in the SEC
at three twenty four, so that three thirty seven certainly
stands tall and alone. Now, there's some other teams that
have more home runs than you, but that's not what
it's all about. It's about getting on base, driving runs
in because your RBIs are you know, they're up there.
I think Georgia, I know, has more, and Tennessee might
have one more. But you're doing what you need to do.
You're getting on base, you're driving runs in. So don't
allow Georgia having eighty four home runs to your fifty
to take away from you getting the job. Base eighty
four is just a wild number.
Speaker 1: So those are the two offensive powerhouses here if we look,
even though I don't want to talk about Orgia, LSU
and Georgia at the top of nearly every offensive category.
Georgia slugging. But right now, let's let's do a little
satistical comparison for LSU to Oklahoma. LSU again leading the
conference three thirty seven, Oklahoma tenth at two ninety eight, slugging,
LSU fourth in the conference, Oklahoma eleventh on base percentage,
LSU second, Oklahoma eleventh. So, as you can see, LSU
has been significantly better at the plate this year, and
Oklahoma's not bad, but it's not necessarily their greatest strength either.
If you flip it over to the mound, LSU currently
fifth in the SEC with a TmrA of three eight one,
Oklahoma ninth in the SEC with a TmrA of four
to two two. I'm you're looking at opponent batting average.
LSU is fifth, Oklahoma is thirteenth. So and and really
this kind of rhythm plays out no matter what stat
uh you're going to look at. LSU's gonna rank somewhere
in that top four top five, and Oklahoma's gonna be
somewhere in that eight to eight to twelve range. So
I guess this is all to say that on paper,
you are the better team. Now you're hitting the road,
and Oklahoma does have some very strong elements, maybe none
stronger than Kyson Witherspoon, currently second in the SEC with
sixty four strikeouts. He's third in e RA, He's got
a two three two era's pitched a ton of innings.
He's fourth there. So Kyson's been excellent. When you run
into Kyson'll be are they aren't pitching off or anything.
Are we getting Kyson and k tonight? I believe so
that's gonna happen. Otherwise that's gonna be a premier matchup
to watch there. But look, I think the bottom line
is that just based on the numbers, you should get
two of three. I know it's very tough. You're on
the road and this is the top ten OCLOME team.
I guess that's the other weird part is that statistically
they could rank there where they do in the SEC,
but they're still ranked where like anywhere eight to ten
in all the major polls. So don't want to make
two light of them. But this LSU team is damn good,
damn good, and so I think they're better and I
think they should take two or three this weekend.
Speaker 4: There is one thing that Oklahoma does better than anybody
else in the conference, because you're right, Like, their batting
average is under three hundred, their slugging percentage is under
five hundred. They only have thirty six home runs on
the year TA but they have seventy four stolen bases
seventy four, so to compare L twenty nine. Yeah, the
next closest in the conference is Kentucky who we all
know loves to move on the base pass at sixty one.
So Oklahoma is going to be on the move if
they get someone on base. In their mind, if they
hit a single, it's already a double, gonna get the
second base. So LSU has to really really be good.
Obviously the pitcher's got to keep him close to the bag.
But you're catchers, right, and we've really only seen one
on the weekends. You've played you know two if you
count the midweek. But you have to make sure you
keep them at first base because the last thing you
want is for here we go. We got a single,
we're gonna move them over sacrifice fly. So they'll manufacture
some runs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've, they've, they've they've they've gone for eighty eight times. Yeah,
only been caught fourteen out of the eighty eight. For reverence,
LSU only has forty steel attempts on the season. They've
been thrown out eleven times. Not speed, maybe not LSU's
greatest drink. So I mean, is it up to Luis Hernandez?
Is I mean Cage's not some sort of defensive stalwart
as it compares to Ernandez, Right, Louise got to be
the answer. There.
Speaker 4: See, yeah, I'm about to see exactly what his numbers
have been as far as how many guys that he's
Let's see, he's thrown out three of thirteen, he's thrown
out one of three.
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's not that's not uh, that's that is
something to watch out for. Keep them off the base
because otherwise otherwise they're.
Speaker 4: Gonna be on the move.
Speaker 1: Yeah, otherwise the teams like there's a good chance and
they're gonna move guys over and and and start to
scratch them across a little bit.
Speaker 4: It's definitely the thing that they do offensively the best.
Speaker 1: It's interesting because LSU hasn't faced a lot of it
this year as well. If you look at like stolen
bases against or even attempted, there's only been twenty four
attempts against LSU this season. That's twelve in the conference,
and uh, like you said, sixteen of them have gotten through,
so they haven't seen this yet. So that's definitely an element, uh,
to to highlight and be on the lookout.
Speaker 4: For Texas, Missouri, Mississippi State, they don't really get on
the move. Mississippi State only thirty three, Texas thirty five,
Missouri definitely the most of that group, but still only
forty five, and so those teams would be kind of
in the middle of the pack, certainly not seventy four
like Oklahoma. They will be testing more behind the dish
than they have been, certainly all season long.
Speaker 1: Landra, how you feel about this weekend?
Speaker 3: I feel good about it.
Speaker 5: I hate that aesthetically it's gonna look not great because
the Oklahoma feeld is disgusting, But I feel good about
it because, like you said, our batting average is a
lot better than Oklahoma's.
Speaker 3: But I will say that I watched some of like
the Oklahoma Bama series last weekend.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and Bama won the series, but in the second game,
Oklahoma was down four zero and they came back and
like exploded in like one inning and tied the game up,
and I think they ended up winning that game.
Speaker 3: So I mean, they have it in them.
Speaker 5: But I feel really good about this LSU team in general. Now,
the stolen bases do kind of worry me a little
big because I don't I don't feel too strongly about
any of our catchers. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I just
I don't love this. I think having like a lefty
on the mountain might be.
Speaker 4: So Kate Anderson only has one wild pitch and wild
pitches seven. Yeah, so maybe not tonight, but like tomorrow
that that's something certainly. Now William Schmidt also has seven
if if he has an appearance, Iinstin and Smid are
tied at seven kind of where has got five? So
not maybe tonight, but certainly something that you've got to
make sure because again Oklahoma is thinking we get a
guy on, he's gonna be on second, pass ball, you're
on third, you're no out, that run's probably gonna score.
Speaker 1: Uh so yeah, yeah, and again this is a five
in oklahoms either that's five and four in the SEC.
Two series wins, one series lost, but no sweeps on
either docket. Right, they've gone two one, two, one one
three or so yeah, one and two. Uh top ten
in the country, Tata, how you feeling about this weekend?
Speaker 6: For good overall?
Speaker 7: Like you mentioned the hitting top to bottom in this lineup,
like I'm good with it, Like it's it's really weird
to see, like this line up set and I thought
it was set going through before SEC played like top
to bottom one through nine, Like I like everyone in
this lineup. I think you got a chance to get
to the Oklahoma pitchers. I mean, you talk about Kyson Witherspoon,
he's been great, but I mean, you know, outside of him,
it's it's been hit or miss not unlike Yel Shue.
L Shu's kind of been in the same boat. But
I think because of the bats alone, I think the
Tigers get it done.
Speaker 5: LSU's great at getting into the pitch count and getting
running off the starting pitcher.
Speaker 1: So it's the uh. I mean, that's what Jay Johnson does.
Discipline played, approach, quality at bats, Every pitch matters. You
stack that over time and it adds up and you
erode them down. So we'll see tonight. Very excited really helps.
Somebody said this in the chat, Mitchell, you gotta love
a Thursday game. Pulling in the weekend early. That is
one of the best parts about it.
Speaker 4: Really.
Speaker 1: It makes it feel like the weekends here and we
have you know, it makes tomorrows show so much more
fun because we get to talk about an actual game,
which makes the show fly by. And so yeah, I
can't wait. I'm gonna go get me a bottle of
whiskey and get ready to post up, post up for
tonight's game. What time is it? Times? First pitch?
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, somewhere in there.
Speaker 1: Window.
Speaker 4: True, probably it is a six o'clock first pitch. He
wasn't wrong somewhere in that window somewhere, even.
Speaker 1: Mitchell, even though if it had started at seven, he
would have also claimed to be correct. No, I said, oh,
you said six to six thirty. I apologize, never mind,
I bet never mind. I'll back off. All right, Uh

summer vacation, that's not that far away, right, you're two months,
eight weeks away from that. But if you want to
plane ahead, go ahead and reserve that vehicle something bigger,
maybe going down to the beach, maybe you're going to Disney.
You need some more space in the back. Well, they've
got you covered. We get that. Seeing a minivan. Check
out the full size midsize SUVs they've got available, because

Sports Talk.
Speaker 2: What's some other stuff mixed in off the bench with
Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 1: Let me see that? Uh, let me see that Oklahoma
Baseball stadium. What's the name of this?
Speaker 6: El Dale Mitchell, Mitchell.
Speaker 1: Taylor never send him more LP.
Speaker 4: I'm so proudy right.
Speaker 6: Now, says Mitchell.
Speaker 7: I I was telling year in college. I actually took
a speech class to kind of get rid of that
what should be fair?
Speaker 1: You don't have, you really don't have.
Speaker 4: But anybody it's hard to say L Dale, Yeah, not
not want to lean into Al Dale Mitchell.
Speaker 1: That's your garbage. If your listen on radio, it can
only be described as like pseudo Little League, like a
big high school.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Like when I went to like Westman Row and watch
one of their playoff games a couple of years ago,
it was a bit like that. I mean, are there
even seats in the outfield?
Speaker 4: No, there's no, there's actually there's no seats like a
left field berm pass first and third into the outfield
like that.
Speaker 1: Crazy should be a top ten baseball team in the
entire country and have. And the thing is this is
like a bubble like fishy like wide angle lens, which
is giving it a little more size than it would
you would even probably feel if you were in that stadium.
Speaker 5: Top two worst fields in SEC baseball Dishfalk l Dale
Mitchell Mitchell.
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, reminder about Tommy's windows doors and tidy g
a ux tommies dot com. G e a ux tommies
dot com. You wuld hardy play Ronald Side Wintern winnows
any type of door you were to go to Tommy's
where you get excellent uh uh energy efficient options that
pay for themselves. They're saving you money in your bills
over I'll be a lifetime warranties and you deal with
a company that has won the Angie Super Service award
every single year that it's been in existence. It's gonna
go Tommy's dot Com g E A u X Tommies
dot Com. Uh and take advantage today, all right? Uh So,
LSU recently got a commitment from five star wide receiver
Tristan Keys, remember that very exciting stuff wide receiver you, etcetera, etcetera.
Despite the commitment, Keys has taking SEC visits the past
two weekends, Jake to ol miss and Texas A and
m Also, Jabbari Mac has set two visits to Texas
despite being committed to the Tigers. Wait, but he was.
Speaker 4: I think he was on Matt's show talking about committing
to l s U.
Speaker 1: This is exactly what we talked about, though, Guys, I'm
very I'm you know, I do not want to completely
dismiss or make light of all the hard work that
has gone in to creating a class that right now
ranks number one in the country for twenty twenty six.
But I'm sorry if even now more than ever because
this has always been the case. Right, you should approach
individual commitments with a touch of cynicism and kind of
expect the worst and hope for the best type situation.
But nowadays it's I would say it's even more so
than ever because all it takes is a bigger offer, right,
a chain of events where one player ends up saying
no to a school, they have more money available, they
decide that this player that they've been pursuing is suddenly
worth more to them, and then so they up the offer,
and then it doesn't matter. They're going to that school.
And again I would say this in defense of Now
I know a lot of y'all's sponsor this will be,
but in defense of these kids, it would be fiscally
irresponsible not to visit all these schools and hear them
out and see what the full breadth of the package
that they're offering is. Now you would say, well then
why commit? And I don't know. I don't have a
great answer there. I don't, But I also don't think
it matters if we, as adults thinking about this stuff,
just understand the game, understand how it's played, and so
don't get too married to any of this stuff. So yes,
Tristan Keys and Jabari Mac taking visits the ole Miss
Texa and m in Texas.
Speaker 4: And they're probably going to take more visits, and then
they're going to take more visits, and they're going to
continue taking visits. Just what it is.
Speaker 1: I wish it would have taken more visits because I actually.
Speaker 4: Got to keep the travel money. I wish I would
have taken better visits.
Speaker 1: Where all did you go?
Speaker 4: Texas Tech, Texas, Oklahoma? That was pretty cool?
Speaker 1: You mean, yeah, I should have gone to Miami though,
Damn Son trying to Carson Beckett in Southeast.
Speaker 4: But Coach Saban's like, if you go to Miami, you
might not have a spot different time. Yeah, it's a
different time. I have a spot when you get.
Speaker 1: Back, different time, for sure. I don't think they're gonna
played that hard ball with Tristan Keys or Jabbari Mac.
Speaker 4: Larry Coker, Yeah, man, hey, coach, is that one of.
Speaker 1: The most fraudulent National Championship coaches of all time?
Speaker 4: Poor guy? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean because he took over a Ferrari and like
Carson beck he got that thing stolen pretty quickly. He uh,
he did not keep it rolling.
Speaker 4: Who's the good man?
Speaker 1: Though? I remember a very good I had a Larry
Cocher sc a poster in my room. No idea, why,
no idea why? But shout out Larry Cocher.
Speaker 4: A lot of people, you know, a lot of people
have a lot to say about Larry Kocher. But the
one thing you can't say he was he was a
very good man. Yeah, like meeting him and talking with him,
very very good man.
Speaker 1: Probably too good for Miami's.
Speaker 4: I was trying to say it without saying it, but yeah,
you're probably right.
Speaker 1: Like Crystal Ball is essentially a Puerto Rican Coacho from
what I've heard.
Speaker 4: I can't hear Cristal Ball without thinking about Barry. But yes,
is he Puerto Rican?
Speaker 1: Right? Am I crazy? I think I'm almost positive Mario's
Puerto Rican. Maybe Cuban, sorry, could be Cuban Coacho. I'm
not entirely sure. Your fact check me there, let's see,
let's I want to know its like, so I get
it right, But I've heard that his vibes are very
similar to.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've heard the same people that worked with him, yeah,
play for him in Oregon.
Speaker 1: Uh, what what do you what do you have?
Speaker 4: Alando?
Speaker 1: You pulled over the mic. Have you found anything in
your research?
Speaker 6: I'm trying to see m he's born in Miami.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's probably Cuban then probably probably it doesn't show
that he's from.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's Cuban. His parents Cuban. His parents, Uh, they
like immigrated from Cuba.
Speaker 1: I think I would love to get to spend a
weekend with a like truly Cuban Cubano Miami family and
just basking the culture. I would, I would, I would
tell your plane, That's what I'm saying. I do, only
I wouldn't even know fully what to expect. I want
to try. What is it? Flawn never before?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's yeah.
Speaker 1: Is that also Mexican what you're saying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's just Hispanic. I guess I don't know.
My mom makes it.
Speaker 1: I want to try.
Speaker 5: I don't love it really is like the texture, what
is it exactly?
Speaker 3: It's basically sugar that you melt down.
Speaker 5: And then you put it in like a jello kind
of thing, like you.
Speaker 1: Know the no, it's not all of us expecting, and then.
Speaker 3: You bake it and it comes out like flun like.
Speaker 1: It's what is the Cuban liquor of choice? I don't
know a drink of choice? Cuban rum? Okay yeah rum
rum sounds right right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Anyway, I don't know tastes like putting, but have the
consistency of Jello.
Speaker 1: I guess it is problematic of me. I'm using I'm
using you as the Hispanic correspondent, as if just because
of your Mexican inheritage, that you should know everything about
any Spanish speaking culture.
Speaker 3: Mohido, but they.
Speaker 1: Used to get in Cuba.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's also the thing called like a leave it
and those are really good.
Speaker 5: It's just uh, I forget what liquor they put in it,
but it's like coke lime and it just kind.
Speaker 1: Of sucks because I like, I know pretty much for
a fact that I'll die without ever doing that. We
go to Cuba, you can go, yeah, or just like yeah,
Cuban culture, but it.
Speaker 3: Has line in it. So good anyway, all right, isn't
Castro dead?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think you're good.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I think I think you can travel to
Cuba again.
Speaker 4: Right, I think so, I don't know, probably once you
try it out and let me know how it goes.
Speaker 1: Is Hunt Palmer our resident Cuban expert?
Speaker 3: Yes, Americans contry.
Speaker 1: Says media Sandwich. Okay, big upset of the day. Hunt
Palmer's actually our Cuban correspondent. Who would have guessed?

Off the Bench and with Hester and T Bob.
Speaker 1: I want to try some croquettas if anybody knows where
I can get some good ones in Baton Rouge. I mean,
now race us is everybody in Cuba driving around fifty
seven chevies like Honda Civics. That is one of the
things I would love to see, even though I'm sure
it's starting to change down the Cuban's open to the
world again, but because they were stopped, you know, just
blockaded for being able to trade for so long. I've
heard the the the technology culture, especially when it comes
to cars, is fascinating down there where basically it's all
cars frozen in time from the fifties that then they
have just had to learn how to like continue to
work on and find solutions for and so you get
this sort of a hodgepodge of really old cars and
then just like innovation and backyard mechanics and it's led
to some really cool car stuff. But again, I don't
know if that's changing now that they're they're kind of
open for business again. JV Senior seventh io though, ever
and ninth. Where have you been for the seventh best
mid market local.
Speaker 4: That out a bowl?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Very late, he yeah really, Oh no, Daniel says,
now they went back to ninth out of the guitar here.
Speaker 7: True, although whoa laundra plays the rejoint all the time,
you don't hear big voice ladies stumbling over seventh.
Speaker 3: You can't believe it.
Speaker 1: I think y'all, uh, I think the video ended up
landing the guitar. I feel like y'all were hating on
the guitar goo videos. First tailor was over there panicking,
trying to cut it all, and I feel like by
the end everybody was pretty.
Speaker 7: Hyper cut it after thirty seconds because I was like,
people probably got the point.
Speaker 2: All of all the that you didn't care.
Speaker 1: You did care.
Speaker 3: I've stopped carrying, we made you made me play.
Speaker 1: The whole Yeah, we stopped car Yeah yeah yeah, just.
Speaker 3: Like I don't care anymore.
Speaker 1: Yes, good, Yeah, that was my point, like broke you down.
Speaker 4: I didn't know why was sweating because it's like, look,
we've done worse. Here is true.
Speaker 1: You know who's gonna seek to do best is LSU
Gymnastics starting tonight. Baby. That's right. For the first time
in school history, gymnastics the number one overall seed and
it gets underway six pm. I'll have some dueling screens
on because the girls are not gonna want touch baseball.
Alexy probably have gymnastics on the main TV baseball in
the Lappie tonight. But yeah, here's to hoping that the
Tigers can find a way to defend that championship. I
don't exactly know how this works, and he didn't look
into it. They're the number one overall seed and yet
they have to go to Pennsylvania, two penn state to compete,
So I guess, like whatever, for whatever reason, I guess
these these these host sites are predetermined. But either way,
this is a team of straight killers. Okay, they are
Michael Douglas in that movie that I still don't know
the title of. And they freaking ready Hayley, Brian Kylen,
g o Lea Fett against Sierra Ballad, whole crew, ready
to take down another championship. And it begins today. Perfection
is the bar and nobody understands this better than your
defending national champions. Let's freak it go, dude, get it done, ladies,
get it done.
Speaker 4: You're gonna be the hunting a little bit different feel
this year. You are the top dog, you are the champion.
