and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yea off the bench.
Speaker 2: With Jacob Hester and C Bob Aymer.
Speaker 1: I got to come off the bench.
Speaker 2: Now here's Jacob Hester and T. Bob Abert'll.

shoey here in studio? Of course. Rivers a key part
of Louisiana Sports dot Net, your premier source for all
things uh, Louisiana Sports team. Doing a great job over there.
It's been a it's been It's become a part of
my morning routine when when prepping for the show. And
so yeah, if you ever don't want to listen to
us just talk forever and you just want to get
the you know, the news quickly, you can always head
over to Louisiana.
Speaker 2: Sports reading Ross's writings, kind of like listening to someone talking.
Speaker 1: Way, yeah, he's up stink writing getting Ross nailing Calvin Banks.
Speaker 2: I was so I was so proud of him. It
was such a mom moment. That is, immediately when they
called that name, all I could think.
Speaker 1: Was I'm eating a winter green mint. Yep, God good,
aren't they so?
Speaker 2: The listeners know. I have an office up here that
I work in a couple of days a week, and
I have learned how to lure everyone into my office
to hang out by just putting a bowl of winter
green mints out.
Speaker 1: It's so good.
Speaker 2: Everyone it comes in at least once a day just
to grab favorite.
Speaker 1: I think it's my favorite mint. It's a good one.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Then again, I guess I.
Speaker 2: Was like, what are your.
Speaker 1: Icebreakers? There? You go?
Speaker 3: Peppermint?
Speaker 1: I can't pepper you know, I like. I like winter
green better peppermint.
Speaker 4: If somebody's got a peppermint like up front, like at
a dental office, restaurant, whatever might be, I'm grabbing.
Speaker 1: After.
Speaker 3: I love the smell of peppermints.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think specifically if I'm going to get the peppermints,
you know, the red and white peppermints like the hard
candy that I'm gonna pick that over the life saver
like mint flavor.
Speaker 1: Oh I don't like the uh over this scene.
Speaker 2: No, that's winter green.
Speaker 1: Yeah you're talking about the blue bag.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just the mint flavor of those.
Speaker 1: I would the winter green or way better. Yeah, the
green bag I don't like. Uh, I don't like mint
chocolate chip. I don't like mint flavor too much.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't like it with chocolate.
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of time for someone who doesn't
like men anyway.
Speaker 4: Any of York peppermint patties, Uh, I don't think they're
very good, not really junior mints. No, I don't like
mint st jo.
Speaker 1: I like men like pretty much. I love cool cool.
Speaker 5: We just spent an entire segment bring it off his
love for man that he doesn't like.
Speaker 1: Uh what about Chris lamentis Lamontis that's worse than what
did Marler? Yea lemonade thing?
Speaker 2: It wasn't great.
Speaker 1: Uh so of course Rivers are are resident uh Mississippi
State Beat beat reporter and Chrys Slamonis Uh finally out
and it's a bit bittersweet. I mean, look, it is
first onto the scene, fifty six wins I think it
was in year one, goes to the College World Series,
lose the eventual national champ two years later gets that
national championship. But for whatever reason, the wheels have just
come off since.
Speaker 2: Uh. Yeah, I have quite a few things to say
about him. I try to keep them pretty succinct. As
far as Chrysis goes, like, I don't want to. I
do not want to take away from what he did,
giving all the credit to Andy canaz Arrow, But a
lot of those players were recruited by Andy. Andy was
a very good recruiter. Lamona's inherited a lot of that.
So some people's argument is that did he really win
a national championship? Now, I don't think that you do that.
I don't think you win a national championship with someone
else's players and not be a good coach.
Speaker 1: Wasn't his third year when he won the Natty or
was his second year?
Speaker 2: I think second?
Speaker 1: Okay, second year, Okay, okay, So whatever.
Speaker 2: I don't want to take away from him because I
don't think that you make it there and you win
just because some other guy recruited good players, like you
have to be a good coach. So I'm not trying
to take away from Lamona's And I also think it's
really bittersweet for fans because he is such a great guy.
He really implemented himself into our community in Starkville. Like
he is. He would talk to anyone. He's great. He's
just like that guy you want to be around. He's
so kind, he's so charismatic when you're with him, like
I like chrys Lamnas. So I was very sad in
that way whenever I saw they fired him. Now, as
just a fan of a school who wants to in
baseball games, I certainly understand it. I am a little
confused about the timing of it. But you know, someone
who gets paid a whole lot more money than me
made that decision, and I'm sure that they had their
reasons and they thought it through. They fire him, they
bring in Justin Parker as the interim who is our
pitching coach. Another thing I was a little confused about.
I don't have anything against Justin Parker. I just assumed
that if they did this mid season, Jake gotro would
be our interim coach. He's like the infield coach. He's
like top recruiting coach. He's like, he's got a lot
of titles. We all love him, as Missus State fans
like he's great.
Speaker 3: We love him.
Speaker 2: Everyone loves him. Players love him. What you need. So
I assume they would bring Jake Grotro in. They did not.
I heard Kendall Rogers talking a little bit about this,
and he was saying that he thinks Ultimately they did
not do that because they didn't want to bring him
in his interim everyone to love it him to do
great for the rest of the season, win a bunch
of games, and then feel forced to keep him on
his head coach because he would have so much momentum
behind him, Like that's that's Kendall Rogers take on it.
I don't know if that is the.
Speaker 1: Reason, because that is him winning a ton of games, yes,
for sure, which is like me, is that well?
Speaker 2: But that could be for a lot of reasons too.
A lot of times you see a chan a coaching
change mid season and there's like this moment this created, Yeah,
like how do you judge that? Like so then you
hire him and then what you know, like maybe that
interim Butpon goes away and he doesn't do his well.
I don't know. I can't explain why zac Selman missus
says eighty made this decision.
Speaker 1: But if I'm remembering correctly, when Cannonzara got fired.
Speaker 2: Uhrian Henderson, he did not get the job. He did not,
but he was he was not as beloved as stake
Go Trip. But I think Jake Gocher gets in there,
he wins a bunch of games, he would have a
ton of momentum behind him from the fans. So maybe
Zach Salmon is trying to avoid that because he wants
to be the one to pick the next coach.
Speaker 1: Like, I don't know, so what do we because and again, look,
I think Missippi State did a good job of kind
of staying patient, you know, and not being too reactive
with the monus. They gave him enough yeah the game.
Speaker 4: Enough runway you fire him here so he doesn't go
win a bunch of games somehow some way, and then
you know, kind of create Oh man, maybe we shouldn't
fire him because he got hot again and it's only
is there one player away or whatever, like you do
it now so that doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: In seventeen SCC wins last year.
Speaker 2: So yeah, well so okay, So then I think coaching
searchers are so great. Jake and I were talking about
this yesterday, Like I love coaching searches. I mean, especially
when they appeal to me as a fan, like it's
my you know, when I remember the moment I got
the text message that we had hired Mike Leach, Like,
coaching searches are incredible. I think They're funny because I
think that everyone in America shouting some name out into
the ether, like you know, like it doesn't even matter
who it is, because it's like no one, no one
knows anything could happen, right, so you're allowed to just
shout out any option. I think Tony these a little crazy,
but hey, crazier things probably.
Speaker 1: Has nothing else, so like make Tennessee give him a raise.
Speaker 2: I love coaching searches, so I put together my top
five picks, which of course I post them, and people
who are like, no, I'm getting all these you know,
angry dms, like no, there's no way, I murmurmur.
Speaker 1: People are divided on coaching searches.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that people. I'm not saying these are
the five people who are going like most likely to
get hired. I'm saying these are my five people I
would like to see hired. Right, So should be clear
before people are sliding up in my dns. This is
just who I want to see for my own reasons. Okay,
so my top person is h is Josh Lander. I'm
saying these last name that it could be either, it
could be either assistant Tennessee. He's the he's the ellender. Okay, okay,
just check in. I say I read things wrong all
the time. So he is my top candidate. He's thirty
one years old. He's in his eighth season at Tennessee. Yes,
he's young, So that is that is something I know
people are going to look at. He played at TCU.
He was a volunteer assistant at Arkansas for a while,
but he's been at Tennessee and he's done a really
good job at Tennessee.
Speaker 1: He still is a volunteer. Uh huh, very good.
Speaker 2: Actually, I wish I had thought of that. But so
during the South Carolina coaching search, he was one of
the top candidates and they ended up obviously going pulmonary,
which maybe at this point they're regretting, you know, too late. No,
it takes you back like he's yours now. So he
is my top candidate. I think too. He's young, he
understands recruiting. He's not so removed from these people that
he I mean, he's gonna want.
Speaker 1: To somebody I've talked to that for you and somebody
coming up in the ILA. And it's not just.
Speaker 2: Because he's young. He's obviously well accomplished, like South Carolina
was considering higher than him for their head coach role.
It wasn't like they just we pulled him out as
an assistant. He's not some random assistant. I think he's
my top pick. Okay, then we got Wes Johnson Georgia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so mean.
Speaker 2: You know, but he was also a former Mississippi assistant.
He's worked for Arkansas LSU. He was the pitching coach
for the Twins. Like, this guy's done a lot of things.
Speaker 1: He was great with the Twins too. He turned that sut.
Speaker 2: So he has. So he just signed a long term
contract through twenty thirty. I don't know what his buyot is,
but I feel like that could be a problem. Like
I don't know they have I don't think they released
that number, so I don't know what it is. But
he would be an option if we could take him
from Georgia, Like, I'd be happy with that. Next, Chris Pollard.
He is at Duke, one of the top programs in
the ACC. So he has been there for twelve seasons.
He led the program to six NCAA tournament appearances and
they'll probably go back this year. A lot of programs
have looked at him. I think TCU was looking to
hire him, and then also Miami. Ultimately they went with
other candidates, but he's been looked at by a lot
of program and then Nolan Kane we know and we
love him here. I don't know if we still love
him here. I love him. I don't know if LSU
fans still love him. You said you have his jersey, well,
then thirty nine.
Speaker 1: That jersey that I have is a literal actual jersey
a couple of years ago and we're like, we need
a double X. He's like, I got an old got you.
Speaker 2: So he has ties to the SEC, which I think
is important. He knows what Mississippi State would need. He
was at A and M now he's in Texas. Yes,
he's an incredible recruiter. So that's another thing. I know
he's an assistant and everyone's like, we can't hire his
other assistant, Like we can, absolutely we can if he's
good at his job. He's great at recruiting, and I
think right now Mississippi State needs someone who is going
to be good at recruiting. I can't remember where we ranked,
like we're our next class ranks, but it is not good.
It took a huge drop. We need a recruiter.
Speaker 4: I saw somebody say that, like, also, the state of
Mississippi doesn't have enough to be able to spread Mississippi Sate,
so you have to ask some I have.
Speaker 2: Someone that can go nationally like Lsu y'all players a lot.
I mean, I'm not saying yes, but typically y'all can
bring people in from you know, within an hour of you.
We cannot do that. We have to recruit nationally. So
we need someone who's going to understand that world. And
I think that Nolan Kane and Josh Ellender would. That's
why like their assistance, but they're really great at recruiting.
Nolan Kane, he's made half less than half a million
dollars a year, Like, hey, you want to make some money.
Speaker 1: So who's number five? Then?
Speaker 2: Nick Minjeon?
Speaker 1: Okay Minon, Well.
Speaker 2: I don't think you say the last part.
Speaker 1: Uh luisg any relationship? Yes, no idea.
Speaker 2: He's a Kentucky Which is funny because we're playing this
week is I think, well the.
Speaker 1: Last name cucked a little bit.
Speaker 2: We are playing them this week in Mississippi State. So
that's the funny thing because we're obviously actively recruiting him,
like he is definitely. He's not only on my list
of once, he's on everyone.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and he would leave.
Speaker 2: He is probably the time. Yeah no, But see here's
the problem. I don't know that he will. I don't
know that we will do it because his buyout. So
he just signed an extension in twenty twenty three and
the buyout details estimated six million dollars if he leaves
for another job. The buyout is cutting half if the
athletic director leaves, which he's.
Speaker 1: Not so forever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think it's six six million in football
buyout is like take yes, but I.
Speaker 2: Don't think like he is a top candidate if we
could get him over to Mississippi State, certainly we want him,
but I don't think that we're going to pay that
by out. So I don't know, but I think I've
gotten the other two. We talked about one of these
names before we came on air, But Brian o'connory Virginia.
He's not necessarily on my list, but he is on
everyone's top list, like he's who all the people who
do know what they're talking about, Yeah, putting on their
lists and then skip Johnson from Oklahoma. Everyone's talking about
him too, and again, for whatever reason, I know they're
good coaches. I know they would come to Mississippi State
and do fine.
Speaker 1: They're just not exciting you a little bit of youth.
Speaker 2: I want to And I had somebody send me a
message and they were like, you know, no, no, no,
you don't want an assistant. Well, first of all, I
know what I want, Like, don't tell me what I want.
But also Andy was an assistant. He was like, well,
you know, you know, roster management, I said, I think
he would have been greater roster management. Like, aside from
whatever else Andy had going on, he was an incredible coach,
and he was an assistant.
Speaker 1: It's it's a weird it's a weird thing because you're right,
there's something more exciting about catching the maybe the next
big guy like Ketoto Matello. But it is a program
in state that is one of the premier programs of
the country, and generally those guys aren't where you get
that that frustration.
Speaker 2: My hope is this Zach Selman also a very young guy,
I'm hoping, and he has changed Mississippi State's athletic department
in a lot of ways. He's made it a lot
more youthful. He understands how to deal with these players now,
and not deal with them is probably the wrong word.
But he knows how to recruit them, he knows what
they need, he knows how to navigate this new landscape
of college sports. And so I'm hoping that he can
see that. You know, I'm hoping that he can. If
we end up with someone who's already a head coach,
that's fine, but I'm hoping that he doesn't just cut
out the option of assistants because they're assistance.
Speaker 1: I agree. And you know, I mean again the the
the lottery ticket as you end up with the Tony V.
Speaker 2: And by the way, Tony V, if you're listening, because
I know you're a longtime listener of OTV, I mean,
and you want to come if you would have been
on my list, just so you know, I just need
you to know you would have been on my list.
I just know that you're not leaving.
Speaker 1: That's the thing is I think I think I think State, Uh,
I think State needs to go.
Speaker 2: Although Tony V, I have eleven we looked it up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, how to was like five eight?
Speaker 3: I say something.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, Casey Evans is just like tall
Tony V.
Speaker 2: I feel like Tony's facial hair and gives him hair,
gives him like an inch. So we're now we're six
foot money spikes on like six one six rings.
Speaker 1: The rings adds a little.
Speaker 6: Bit, the money does to Tony paid somebody to put
that on his toys, like five.
Speaker 1: Eight, I think, and he gives all five eight five.
Speaker 2: Like those are my thoughts. I just think coaching searches
are funny. We're all going to be just yelling at
the internet until they hire someone boring like they always do.
Speaker 1: I think they needed they do a really big swing,
like you know, Tony or maybe Wes Johnson. I think
they'll swing back back the money truck up, see if
there's anything there, and then if not yet, then I
think they'll swing.
Speaker 2: But like Jake and I were talking about, it's not
a matter of like, yes, Mississippi State is a big
baseball program. We will throw money at it, absolutely, But
just because we're offering this job to someone does not
mean they're going to come. So like, yeah, we can
swing all we want. I hope that we do. But
like people, I mean, I'm not talking about y'all, but
you know, you see people on the internet and they're like, Oh,
just offer this person the job, like Missy State, anyone's
gonna come to Mississipi State, And look, I love Mississippi State.
I don't think that's true, you know. Like, and I
think one other point I'd like to make, and again,
this is kind of the Kendall Rogers thing. He was
talking about how he's talking about how it has to
be more than coaching, Like we've been through a lot
of head coaches in the last like decade. Yeah, and
we've seen a lot of really low moments. So he
was talking about LSU for example, even when you're not great,
even when you're not the best team, you're not bottom
out right. We've seen a lot of that from Mississippi State.
And we are really good at baseball. We have been
really good at baseball, but we've also bottomed out. And
it's like his point is, yes, hire a new get
rid of Lamon is hire a new coach. You also
have to figure out what else is going on in
that building. And I think, again, not an expert, I'm
not in the building, but I think it's recruiting. I
really do think that that is a huge part of
the problem. And that is why those Nolan and Josh
are so high on my list, because they are so
good at recruiting.
Speaker 4: That makes sense if you really want to shoot your
shot and get some life into the program. I don't
know if you've seen Will Clark's Instagram videos by hitting
Tom if you really want to put some juice back
into the port, it's like.
Speaker 2: It's like it's like an old Taurus or something. He's
like in his garage. He's teaching you how to hit see.
Speaker 1: I got to send you this one.
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a lot of words in ninety six
percent of them or cuss words, but it makes.
Speaker 1: A lot of sense about someone would probably not love
the modern day recruit.
Speaker 2: He would not know he's electric though.
Speaker 6: God I love that guy to guarantee one time and
I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 2: I have some funny stories I won't tell on air,
but he of him being not very nice to little kids.
Speaker 1: He's just not a what you see, who you are?
Speaker 3: Who you are?
Speaker 1: All right? When we get back too, a little munchies
to Michael Johnson keep a locked hair on ogb off
the bench. Hey, guys, if you're in the market for
a generat homeb generator. Why don't you go to Louisiana's

Welcome back to otb Rivers. Sitting out of this final hour,

minus champagne. Yeah, without champagne as well. Uh, probably for
the best. It's supposed to go to an tonight. And
I got that most wondrous of Texas morning with my
wife saying I don't want to go Okay, Hell yeah
I don't either. Chef Michael Johnson, it's time for some munchie. Chef.
What's up, brother? How are we doing today?
Speaker 7: I'm good?
Speaker 1: Wow, you are chipper today, h Rogers said. Everybody's been
in such a great mood, a little springtime in the air.
It's gonna be may.
Speaker 7: How we feeling here, Chef man, you know we're getting
we're getting some uh you know. Year to year, there's
that depends when we shift from spring classes to summer classes,
depending on the calendar. Sometimes we get like three or
four days down. Sometimes we get like ten days down.
This year we have quite a few days down in
between those classes. So I've got some fishing in my future.
Speaker 1: Oh, it sounds like a man who's fired up to
hit the water, U rivs. And by the way, guys,
it's me that doesn't want to go tonight, uh rivs.
This is your first month about I thought it was
your first mon segment.
Speaker 2: No, chef, I don't know here on.
Speaker 1: Thursdays normally a chef. Yes, we go way that we
all don't know each other. You've never interacted you know whatever?
Hastech I have one.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, chef and I we know each other,
work on this show.
Speaker 1: Give just ask a freaking question.
Speaker 2: Jesus, is there more than one way to macerate fruit?
Speaker 7: I suppose in different liquids, right, what is mas?
Speaker 1: I know about mastication, I know about master, I don't
know about maceration.
Speaker 7: Yeah, maceration is like soaking fruits so that absorbs flavor
forul liquids, basically kicking kind of what And it's kind
of like if you take uh dehydrated dehydrated it kind
of is. I mean, I mean if you consider that
you and I A lot of people use alcohol, so
you know, like I mean when I drink alcohol, I
get pickled. So I suppose that you, Uh yeah, but yeah,
there's I mean basically you don't want to heat it
right like some people when you reconstitute like uh tried
tried tomatoes sundried tomatoes, you know, in some sense you
are masserating that because like if you put it in too,
like a balsamic vinegar, you're wanting that balsamic vinegar to
impart its flavor into the tomatoes as well. So there
is there is some type of maceration there, but maceration
is really just soaking them in an alcohol. And you know,
like I'm prone to brandy or cognac myself because I
like the flavor that it cout that it provides. When
you I like to use macerated fruit in like slambais
for for for desserts and stuff, and it's you don't
you don't have to just use fruits. You can use
other things, Like you could masserrate tomatoes, I think, you know,
if you wanted to, if you want to put them
into a boxing sauce or something like that. Typically your
mass eating fruits though, and uh, you know, like mass
rated cherries go into old fashion I think is what
it is. And then they're a particular type of cherry,
like it's a tart cherry that's mastrated in and a
kangnac or brandy. And so I think as far as
the process is concerned, it's the same. But you can
macerate with different type of alcohols if you will, a
lot of maceration.
Speaker 1: B Yu. Hashtag munchies. Doing some toasted coconut Hawaiian fried
rice for dinner? Toasted coconut wine fried rice. What protein
should I cook?
Speaker 7: Chicken comes to mind? You know, like chicken or shrimp.
You know, like you threw me off a coconut. So
I'm already lost you guys.
Speaker 1: You know I forgot you are an uneducated creetan.
Speaker 7: But I'm not eating it. I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I think everybody's kind of andy coconut in this room.
Actually yeah, yes, you know where do you weigh in?
Jake's not coconut? Okay? Cool?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a coconut Taylor. I love coconut.
Speaker 1: Coconut yeah okay? Hashtag munchies. Chef. Do you ever get
decision fatigue when deciding what to prepare for yourself? For LSU?
Speaker 7: It typically comes in the loss of my personal life
versus the professional life, right and there is there is
such a thing like people won't understand, you know, like
CEOs of companies go home and get run by their spouse,
you know what I mean. And to some degree, you know,
like I go home and I live in a little
bit of chaos, because I mean, your mind and your body,
you know, have a finite amount of decisions that they're
prepared to make in a day, and and you know
you have to kind of you have to preserve them
for the ones that matter, right. And so I don't
know if you know this or not, but Barack Obama
and Albert Einstein were both aware of this, and both
of them wore the same uniform every day. That's why
Albert Einstein was the thing closed every day, and that's
why Barack Obama always wore black and dark blue suits
so that he didn't really have to make. It's one
less decision, yeah right, and yeah it's and I guess
to some degree, you know, like I put on my
my chef pants and my chef jacket and I don't
work every day, like the people don't don't recognize me
outside of outside of my clothes, and so yes, it
absolutely is the real thing. And I mean There's times
I'd worked twelve or fourteen hour day yesterday and I
went home and stared at the wall, no TV, you know,
like just just you know, like unwinding, no you know,
like no bourbon, no anything, just just you know, letting
the day go. And yeah, it absolutely is. You know,
like when you have dishes in the in the sink
and you know that's the decision to be made and
you're looking at it, you're like, oh, you know, I
think laundry. Yeah, right, holding laundrees for maniacs. Man I
just wash, you know, like I need a machine to
do that.
Speaker 2: You know, hashtag munchies. How do you make a hot
honey glaze?
Speaker 7: So it's it's you gotta kind of you probably need
to add some liquid to it, right because honey stick already,
and if you put honey into a hot pan, it's
going to be reducing the amount of liquid that's in
it already. So I my suggestion is putting something, you know,
like even some wine or some alcohol or something that
probably not hard alcohol, so that it's burning because that
will caramelize. But even even a little waters it kind
of stind it out so that it thins or a vinegar.
If you have like white balsamic vinegar with honey, goes
really well and it kind of forms what you might
call it gas streak. It's kind of sweet and tart
at the same time. It's contrasting flavors. That that's that's
how I like to do it. But you can't just
use water reduce it. Some people will just glaze it
on straight, but it's it's it's prone to burning. It
depends on what you're putting it on, too, because if
say a turkey, for instance, if you're putting it, if
you're putting honey onto a turkey, when it eats up,
it's going to run off. So it matters when you
put it on. It also matters how many times you
put it on, like I continue to glaze. Also, if
you're really wanting to get honey flavor as a glaze
on something, you can actually buy honey powder instead of
instead of the liquid and it ficks really well. Yeah,
it looks it looks akin to almost pollen, you know,
like it's a it's a dried granular honey is what
it is. It's been dehydrated to the point that you
can sprinkle it and and if I'm wanting, like Thanksgiving
my Thanksgiving turkey. Last year, I sprinkled some honey, dehydrated
honey and dehydrated maple on my turkey and it formed
this just perfect round.
Speaker 3: You know, Like can you just get that at.
Speaker 2: Like a regular store, like a grocery store.
Speaker 7: Well, I mean if you regular store is Amazon, Yes,
that's just I think I thought everybody was.
Speaker 1: A literal boger sugar, you know, hashtag mun chiese. What's
this last one? Jeff? Then will you go, what's the
weirdest request you've ever gotten to cook for someone?
Speaker 7: It's a good one, man, I know, nothing's popping to
mind right now, you know, Like I for me sometimes
it's it's you know, like adults eating grilled cheese at
a restaurant.
Speaker 1: Yeah like that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I will tell you this. So I worked at
a steakhouse for a while. I'm not gonna stay the
name of it, but you know, like we grilled five
hundred steaks a night, and we got we had we
had this reference. We called him Jim and Jam because
that was my best friend's parents in high school, just
just for reference purposes, Like there was always somebody that
walked in at ten forty five and eleven o'clock shut
down and wanted a well done steak, right, And so
you know, it was always Okay, we're gonna make this
steak great, We're gonna make it taste good. And this
guy he ordered a well done steak, but he wanted
it coated, and and I like went overboard with it. Man,
I thought I was gonna get This guy sent back
and tip and said it is the best bak he's
ever had. He wanted it coated, he wanted to yeah,
you know, a lot of cayenne on it. So I mean, I,
I mean, I rolled this thing and Tyne Brother, I
was hell bent on making my point, and you know,
like he just wouldn't let me have it. Man. He
sent back at tip and was like, my god, that
was the best thing you had.
Speaker 1: You had no idea the depths to which Jim could descend.
Speaker 7: No, And you know, like I was so disappointed in
the fact that I got tipped and I didn't get
bust at. You know.
Speaker 1: So so you're drawing, you're drawing a link between people
who order well done steaks and a lack of social awareness.
Speaker 7: Oh man, well, I mean we should do a study
because I think there's a possibilities there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chef Michael Johns and cheff enjoy the downtime, a man,
enjoy the water. We love you and we'll talk to
you next time from a stick care Chef you the man?
How is it for some i'me ever talking to chef great? Huh.
Speaker 2: I literally helped you all create that segment.
Speaker 1: I know here during the munchies thing, is all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: No, I mean I helped you create that while I
was producing.
Speaker 1: Well, I thought, I thought, did you start? We started
during the pandemic.
Speaker 2: I created because I created the bed, the first bed.
Speaker 1: Oh you created the first bed? Yeah, just saying, but
I mean I created the segment.
Speaker 2: Well, me, you and Jordi. Yeah, we met him at
the thing and then me and you met him at
the thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, at the at the cafeteria. All right, let's go
to break and actually before we do, I dot remind
about Ulster two to beton rouge. Ulster dot com is
the website, got great deals going down on the website.
Now you can actually customer to vehicle right there on
the website with all Star two at express If you
want to do that. You can check out all the
great deals we got going on. And I remember our
buy three tires getting the fourth for a dollars going
down right now. And so whether you're looking to buy
new to certif I use vehicle, maybe you need a
body shop or service center. You get in All Star
you mentioned O TB. You get two and three dollars
for the deductible. But look, you get free press estimates,
rapid turnaround times. They they're they're just the best. And
if you need a rental, miss Lead Sessions is right there,
same office, walk one office or bam, you got it,
and it's cheaper per day rental price in your traditional
rental company. Good also to be RUS, also to be
RUS like com more to me.
Speaker 2: Next off the bench.
Speaker 1: And how about our friends over their trash rangers, your
local waste removal experts, local being the key. Okay, these guys,
your neighbors. These are not your national trash ass trash
companies who won't keep the trash here but take the
profits out of state at trash rangers, those profits are
funneled back into the communities who litle league deems churches.
Because again, your neighbors, if you live in live cedar
decision you get to make a choice about who handles
your residential trash pickup. You're lucky, uh in that way,
and so you go with trash ring. You just get
a better level of service, more give it in, more efficiency.
For me, they text you the nineties before your day.
They texted before it's your day, so you never forget
to put out the cans again. They just care and
look if you need a roll off dumpster, maybe little
spring Clean, maybe you're a big business you need for
a big project, ten fifteen thirty yard. We got you
great prices, rapid drop off time, rapid pickup time, and
of your business. You need a fronto dumpster anywhere. Listen,
hear emptied up to six days a week. You already
know trash Rangers.
Speaker 2: Doug back at it where sports talk meets pure chaos
off the bench with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 1: What heading y'all, welcome back to ot b Our number
three here in this Thursday, and it's time for a
Tay NFL story up the Day Day.
Speaker 2: It's time for Tata's NFL Story of the Day day,
your daily dose of NFL news from Taylor Sharp.
Speaker 5: It is because we talked about it during break New
York Jets backup quarterback Jordan Travis retiring from the NFL
yesterday after never playing a down.
Speaker 1: He has medically retired. Obviously.
Speaker 5: He had that grewsome leg injury in twenty twenty three
when Florida State was undefeated. You just mentioned North Alabama.
Speaker 1: Is the game that he did.
Speaker 5: He suffered the injury and again they had to surgically
repair that left leg, was never able to fully recover
and decided to walk away yesterday. For what it's worth,
tomorrow will be his twenty fifth birthday, so he is
hanging it up before he ever got started.
Speaker 1: It is just an unfortunate situation. If you remember, after.
Speaker 5: He went down, Florida State was not elected to participate
in the College Football Playoff, They get blown out by
Georgia in their bowl game, and then just kind of
all downhill.
Speaker 1: For him and Florida State from there. Last year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it was just a really really bad situation.
He had to medically retire yesterday. But Jordan Travis excellent
college quarterback.
Speaker 1: Don't play those stupid ass cupcake games. But whatever.
Speaker 2: But to be fair, like that could have happened in
any game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yet it could have happened. It could have
happened practice. So to be fair, as someone who's in
charge of a lot of writers, it's impossible to ignore
the North Alabama piece in this. I mean that makes
it that much more brutal. It was a game that
did not matter.
Speaker 2: I feel like they're catching it straight here.
Speaker 1: Good. It's always it was a game that did not
matter to Florida State.
Speaker 5: It's only something brutal like that, right, Like, okay, remember
last year with John he finally came back. He was
your only spark against USC in the run game. Then
a practice on Tuesday he tears his knee. After that,
like for the third time or whatever was practice always
just put him in.
Speaker 1: Bubble wrap until the day of a big game. Actually
is what it is.
Speaker 2: Don't talk to anybody, don't look at anyone, sit, don't move.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna die in this North Alabama hill.
Speaker 2: You know this can happen, This can happen, could happens.
You're playing North Alabama, and it could happen in any game.
Speaker 1: I'm acknowledging the fact that the story is made that
much more it is. It is by being both ruined
his life and f s.
Speaker 2: Us I guess everything scheduled, the game the turn of
an ankle. I mean I turned my ankle almost every day.
Speaker 1: Uh have you all seen this about Mark Zuckerberg? Yes,
we did see that about Mark. It's a minute. Yes,
it's your meta. Actually it's a mine. You need to
pay it.
Speaker 3: But so he did create Facebook play it?
Speaker 2: Uh, some other businessman turned it into meta.
Speaker 1: No, I'm I'm I'm kidding. I've I've I refused. I've
never called Facebook meta once. I've refused to call it
met the same way refuse called Twitter X. He explained
that quote because I guess meta. Facebook is uh developing
AI friends for people?
Speaker 2: Oh god, yeah, I think I can see that.
Speaker 1: Supplement their real ones. And his quote is it's unfortunate
the average American has three friends but has demand for fifteen.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, there's demand for fifteen.
Speaker 3: That's what the numbers.
Speaker 2: Sure, that actually sounds like a nightmare.
Speaker 1: Fifteen people fifteen friends is wait.
Speaker 5: Has made a lot of money, There's no question about it.
He has way more money than I'll ever have. Hol
does he know we need fifteen friends?
Speaker 3: The data number data data?
Speaker 5: No, No, you know what? Fifteen is a very percisember.
Mark Zuckerberg pulled that out of his ass demand for fifte.
Speaker 2: Hear this out, follow me down this path if you can.
He's getting this data from Meta, right, who would you say?
Probably is the biggest demographic of people on Meta old people,
old people. Old people love connect with their old friends
from high school. So they're seeing all these old people
trying to re connect with every person they've ever known
because it's so new to them and like they didn't
have that option when they were our age. So now
Mark's like, see, everyone wants friends. You have somebody our age.
Speaker 3: We're like, but like regardless, that is just sad.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and like you're reconnecting with an old friend or
we can give you this new thing that doesn't even
actually exist.
Speaker 1: I think they're just.
Speaker 2: You know, exactly what you want to hear.
Speaker 6: That's all that is like demented to make these fake
AI friends.
Speaker 5: This is black mirror birthday and that's you just hang
out with your AI friends Like this is awful.
Speaker 1: I think what's sick is, yes, today they are fake,
but when are they no longer fake?
Speaker 2: They will always.
Speaker 3: Matter what you do, they will always be.
Speaker 1: Actually not not not the more and more than likely.
Speaker 3: You think they're just gonna be sentient and like.
Speaker 1: I think these lines between synthients my consciousness are going
to get incredibly blurry.
Speaker 2: What's the movie? Uh my?
Speaker 3: What is it texting?
Speaker 2: Is that the one where the girl the AI girl?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean yeah, you know, I mean, look, it's
it's it's it's it's woking phoenix in her Yeah. Right,
the movie cracks me up so much. Again, we're not
that far off from that. Mark Zugar's out here making
AI okay.
Speaker 6: He needs to like stop, well, well people are fifteen friends?
Speaker 2: Okay with your fifteen friends.
Speaker 3: And like it.
Speaker 6: I don't even I can't name fifteen people that would
like I would consider.
Speaker 1: Because you don't have any AI supplemented friends. You just
need a couple of couple. Think we're right, Like we're missing,
we're missing the character arc type in the group text.
You go to Facebook, you pick one up. You think
a funnier guy in the group text.
Speaker 3: I don't know, we're all pretty funny.
Speaker 2: Do you think the people who have their they get
their fifteen friends or let's say that you have up
to fifteen. Let's say you just have five casual friends.
AI friends do you think that people will start talking
about them in casual conversation, like my friends said, yeah.
Speaker 6: Great point by Vaughn in the chat friends. The show
didn't even have fifteen friends on it, true, well they
