How are we doing? Is everybody okay this morning?
Speaker 6: I'm great?
Speaker 7: All the stitch heads out there, well, it's.
Speaker 6: Fully your fault. I know, just so that you know,
I don't.
Speaker 3: I know you're new to the baseball thing, but it's
a very superstitious sport. You have not been keeping up
this whole entire time. And these are your words. You
watched for three fourths of an inning, which is not
a thing.
Speaker 4: You were halfway you were halfway through the third out.
Speaker 7: If you go by time, you can you could quarter it.
Speaker 6: I'm I don't think that's how that works. But I
just this is your fault. I'm gonna blame it on you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we tried, guys, we tried.
Speaker 6: You're not allowed to watch LSU baseball for the rest
of the season.
Speaker 5: Actually, you texted the group yesterday and said, Matt, are
you watching the game?
Speaker 7: And I was like, oh no, I forgot. I turned
it back on.
Speaker 6: I turned it on and I said, no, turn it
off off.
Speaker 7: You can't watch this. Yeah, that's on me. That's on me, guys.
Speaker 4: I mean they were losing before you turned it on.
Speaker 6: They were losing, but it was because they knew you
were going to put it on.
Speaker 5: But by the time I turned it on, they didn't
score any more runs. Did l They had scored a couple,
so they LSU won after.
Speaker 6: So I like the way you flip that. I respect it.
Speaker 5: I gotta say though it was I was on vacation
last week. I hadn't been able to tune in. You know,
I'm starting to get my up but I still haven't
watched a game yet. I gotta say McNee is the
best team I've seen play this year. I mean that's
that's fair. They're one and oh and Metaline watch game.
Speaker 7: They are one to know?
Speaker 4: Now are they three and five overall? Yes they are.
Speaker 6: Did they just lose an entire series to Kansas?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Kansas? Phydrated from Kansas?
Speaker 4: He's your best picture right now?
Speaker 6: Are they hydrated?
Speaker 7: Oh yeah? One of my OG hydration team.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, so let's get Cooper Moore. Okay, since
he was at Kansas and now he's at l s U,
he must be like, hella hydra.
Speaker 7: I bet he was like, oh thank god.
Speaker 6: Probably is what got him over here. Jay was like,
we got my high and he was like say less less, Well.
Speaker 5: You don't even need to pay me. I don't need
any pack, just just tint the rehydration FU punch.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Pose a question to the room, because yesterday we we're
talking about, you know, making new video commercials and everything,
because we're nerds and that's what we do a lot
of times. After the show, how do you be got
a stock footage actor? Like you're just the random person
in stock photos, like when you buy like a picture frame,
it no like you're just on deaddy images looking for
random generic stock photo. How do you become the person
in that picture? Because I feel like I could do that. Okay,
we're having this discussion generic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like.
Speaker 4: Just because I'm just a generic white guy, blonde hair,
no facial hair, But like, how do you get into
that profession? Because we were discussing this yesterday we were
putting generic stock photo over a video spot and somebody
was like, no, use different stock footage, like stock footage
you care, But they were like, we need the same
person in every stock photo. Like, how do you get
that job?
Speaker 7: It's called a model? Really?
Speaker 4: I mean sure? But talking on a cell phone, boy,
do I have a job for you? Yeah, sit at
a desk and smile awkwardly while I take a picture
of you. Come on in.
Speaker 5: It's kind of like being like a probably like an
extra in a soap opera. So how do you get
that gig? That's the that's to me, it'd be like
the equivalent of like a stock photo person, but it is.
They're they're models. They get paid for that or probably
not a lot.
Speaker 4: No, No, I get that, but like I just feel
like it's really easy, like the people you see on
the commercials when all they have to do is walk.
They don't actually have any lines like.
Speaker 5: You see like the ability. I kind of like on
a medicine commercial Abilify.
Speaker 4: Anti depress and the guy comes out and he's just
smiling as happy as he's ever been. And how hard
is that?
Speaker 6: Yeah, well you gotta act like you're happy.
Speaker 5: With How ridiculous are those? Like the drug commercials are
the ridiculous things in the world.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 3: Symptoms may include your entire skin falling off, like and
they're all happy.
Speaker 5: It's like me reading like the uh what what did
I have to read? When we were doing the the
sports book stuff. It's like the last thirty seconds was reclaim. Yeah,
the disclaimer. They read as fast as I could for
thirty seconds.
Speaker 6: Nailed it, And I'm like, you know you don't have
to do that because speed it up over here. No,
that was like the live Yeah I had to.
Speaker 4: You killed it though, but no, for real, Like, how
do you get the job? Like I kind of want
to be don't know.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm sure you probably look it up. Get
an agent, like I'm talking on the phone. Standard by
guy dot Com and white dot COM's gotta be something, right,
It's gotta definitely gotta be something.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I google it on this, we're
a computer be fine, they'll understand.
Speaker 7: It's for research, research and development. How did you ahead
we get on this?
Speaker 6: Taylor literally just randomly changed the subject to it.
Speaker 7: You know, it's random, and like, I'm thinking, it's really
that's how we were doing.
Speaker 4: It was on my mind.
Speaker 7: Okay, you're right, I talked about for left work. You're right,
uh uh of.
Speaker 4: White guy dot com is not a or standard white
guy dot I'm.
Speaker 6: Not a not a what about random?
Speaker 7: Ah Man, We're just guys.
Speaker 5: We're just trying to cheer ourselves up right now because
I'm really not You're not.
Speaker 7: I'm not not that bad.
Speaker 6: I'm not that upset by it.
Speaker 7: Actually either.
Speaker 3: We I told you before the show started we got
run ruled by Nichols last season and we won the
national championship. I'm not saying that's gonna happen now. I
keep trying to speak it into existence as much as possible,
But you know, the starter didn't do what the starter
was supposed to do, and all snowballs from there.
Speaker 4: I'm totally kidding that was trying to trigger a lot.
We had a whole discussion about it last week.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you started, doesn't do what he's supposed to do,
and what that turns into? Ten pictures, yes, going to
the mound.
Speaker 4: If you didn't, if you didn't pitch last night, Like,
oh wait was it at the bottom?
Speaker 7: How many pictures the team carry at least?
Speaker 6: I mean several.
Speaker 5: Ten pictures yes, last night, seven of which either walked
or hit a batter.
Speaker 3: This is why I said that, because I think you
had turned it off by this point. Yeah, this is
why I said we need to ask Jay because at
one point, as soon as they walk somebody, he was
pulling them. As soon as they got a hit, he
was pulling them. So I'm like, because we asked Will
Helmer's on Monday, Remember you were like this Jay a yeller.
He's like he he yells sometimes, but he's not like
a huge yeller. Right, That's what he was saying, Will.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he said he can get after it a little bit.
Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 7: A lot of it's kind of like psychological games.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 6: So now I'm like, he was definitely trying to send
them a message like if you can't strike somebody out.
If you can't throw.
Speaker 3: Strikes, I'm pulling you immediately. Like Zach Collen walked somebody
and he was like, get out of there.
Speaker 4: Calvin looked confused as he'll be.
Speaker 6: As soon as he watched somebody.
Speaker 4: Jason a message. You walk or hit one batter, you're
out of the game.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I could see someone coming to the dugout last night
and him be like, hey, look, keep your chin up,
keep your head up.
Speaker 7: Not your fault. I shouldn't have pitched you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: You suck tonight, but I'm sure you'll be better next time.
I'm sure you'll be better in three weeks when I
trust you again.
Speaker 7: Sure, sure you'll be better once we start SEC play.
Speaker 4: There you go. See that's a positive spin on McNeice.
Isn't in the SEC. We don't have to worry about
them again.
Speaker 7: Thank god.
Speaker 4: That's Matt's favorite to win the Natty.
Speaker 7: I told you his best team I've seen play all year.
Speaker 4: There was there were some positives last night. The man
Reagan Ricken was really good. Yeah, faced six batters, struck
out four of them, gave up a hit, no runs
like Rigan. Riccon had a really nice outing. He's a
guy that's added two or three back to back really
get out. And I mean they were high on him
coming end of the year. So like reag and Rigging
did good me curiol with Jake Brown, they continue to
get timely hits, like they came up big for you
down the stretch. John Pearson, it's tough to keep him
out of the lineup. Yeah, and he went two for
four last night RBI scored two runs. Like there were
guys that made plays. You just you dug yourself in
a seven to two hole and could not get out
of it.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well, that and I feel like some of them were
just trying a little too hard on the plate.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you mentioned that. You mentioned that right before she
walked in. You were watching the thing. You're like, why
are these guys swinging for the fences every Yeah, and
that's why.
Speaker 6: Like everything was a chop, like they were chopping every
single ball.
Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, they just looked like they were swinging out
their shoes.
Speaker 4: I mean, you get a seven to two hole, you're
trying to fight back. You know, you're better than this team,
Like you get it. You hate to see it, but
like you you get it. They'll be fine.
Speaker 5: Usually first segment. We just kind of like to do
vibe checks and and talk about what's what's on her
mind a little bit. Taylor, you gave us your random model.
Speaker 4: But I mean, but usually feel eaten at me.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know it has a model real bad, I know.
Speaker 5: I mean it seems like a good game. You can
make tens of hundreds of dollars asking to be.
Speaker 4: A victorious secret angel here. Okay, I mean I'm trying
to start at the first male one.
Speaker 7: M hm.
Speaker 4: See that's too much pressure. Yeah, just make me random
computer guys, sit there, you take a picture of me. Boom,
it's up there.
Speaker 6: Do we not know anybody that makes commercials in baton rouge?
Come on, it is a hit, Taylor.
Speaker 7: Up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he wants me to be walking out of a building.
I can do that. I walked out of my back
door this morning, didn't trip or nothing. We're good.
Speaker 5: Hell yeah, congratulations for not falling on the ground this
morning as an adult human commercial.
Speaker 7: When's the last time you fell to the ground?
Speaker 6: Probably recently. Okay, I fall quite a.
Speaker 4: Bit last Monday at the movie theater.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, are you serious?
Speaker 4: So we did the Scream Unseen, which is like you
could see a scary movie before it before it actually
comes out, but you don't know what it is until
you sit down. We've done it two or three times.
Speaker 2: It's fun.
Speaker 4: I don't know what happened. I'm walking in and this the.
Speaker 6: Scared fell back.
Speaker 4: No, this theater's got a pretty good amount of people
in it. I was like, oh, Victoria, that's embarrassing. I
should stand I come back. I am walking up the
steps face planted.
Speaker 8: Oh my god, are you serious? Yes, I don't know
it as a human adult. Step was a little too
tall for me. I get up and try to brush
it off. The guy behind Victoria's like, oh, sitting.
Speaker 4: Up trying to figure out what's going on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was bad.
Speaker 4: So yeah, last week actually.
Speaker 7: We've seen the uh I think it's His name is
Nate Brigatsy.
Speaker 5: He's got a great joke about that, talking about children
and elderly people like they always had to worry about them,
like falling into the ground. He's like, I've never even
thought about it in forty years.
Speaker 7: I haven't.
Speaker 5: My body has not touched the ground since I was
a child. Yeah, that's what I thought about. When Taylor
just said that. I was like, yeah, I don't think
I've ever really just tripped and fallen.
Speaker 3: I feel like I tripped quite a bit. I don't
know if I ever go like all the way down trip.
I'm trying to remember the last time. I mean, we
all know I had that incident at the Cody Johnson concert,
so I don't know sure that might have been the
last time.
Speaker 4: Probably at least a little inebriation.
Speaker 7: Things that happened that make you off balanced, that you
can do to yourself.
Speaker 4: A movie theater on a Monday night, drinking water.
Speaker 5: There's not a huge A medium popcorn and a sprite
over there, just falling for no reason.
Speaker 4: Now before that, though, in fairness, before that it had
probably been years, but I mean we had to restart
the close floor nothing. No, it was the carpet stairs
in the movie. I felt going up the stairs. It
wasn't even down like that. Victoria like fall up top.
Victoria like it took her a second to laugh. She
was just in shock. She was like, what did you do?
I was like, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, She's like, she got the ick. Let's put a
chair between.
Speaker 4: It wasn't mid movie, it was right before it started,
so people probably forgot about it. By the end, nobody
came up to me and was like, okay, buddy, I
didn't get any of that, so we were probably good.
Speaker 6: I love when people fall.
Speaker 7: It is funny.
Speaker 6: It's one of my favorite things.
Speaker 4: I laughed it was.
Speaker 5: Yeah, falling is objectively hilarious unless somebody gets hurt, then
it's not funny at all.
Speaker 3: One time I ordered a pizza and the pizza guy
came knocking at my door. And I used to have
my dog with me, right and she was like one
of those dogs that barks at literally anything that they hear.
So the pizza guy is knocking at my door and
she's barking. She's trying to get out the door, so
I'm holding her so she won't leave the door. And
there's I had just got back into town. So my
suitcases are by the door, and I tripped over the
suitcases with dog and pizza in hand in front of
the pizza delivery guy.
Speaker 6: Did you get the The pizza survived, but it was
just so like. My sister still brings that up because
I was on FaceTime. I was on FaceTime with them
at the same time, so they kind of witnessed it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't even need it.
Speaker 6: She was like, I bet, I bet that guy still
thinks about you falling?
Speaker 5: Was that random person to learn this pizza there? Yeah,
it's good. Were you a little bit embarrassed?
Speaker 3: No, just because, like I think it's funny when people fall.
So I thought it was funny that I fell, and
stuff like that is typical.
Speaker 7: Did you hit the ground and roll and try to
play it all? I just gotcha.
Speaker 9: But like the way that I was falling was like
I was kind of squatting on the way down, so
I was trying to Like, yeah, I was trying to
prevent it as long as possible.
Speaker 6: I just let myself go.
Speaker 4: Nobody nobody looks good, slowly.
Speaker 7: Got to go with it. Just gravity takeover. Yeah, that's
good stuff.
Speaker 6: No, that happens to me often, so like, I don't
really get embarrassed by much.
Speaker 3: I should up to a Halloween party. The only one
dressed up and I fully painted my face like Jason's Mask.
Speaker 5: Girls.
Speaker 6: Yet nobody else was dressed up in the contest though,
sorry about it. Card to Domino's.
Speaker 4: They're like, wait, you're actually dressed up. She's like, no,
I'm just kidding, guys. I was gonna watch this all
though that would be funny.
Speaker 5: I was totally kiddy you wanted Donina's gift cards that
you could order more pizza and fall again. Yeah, all right,

It was great.
Speaker 6: Foxhole.
Speaker 4: It was a great experience fox Hood.
Speaker 6: Like this shout out.
Speaker 5: All right, we touched on it a little bit in
the first segment, but if you're the listeners of the show,
you know we don't get into anything too serious in
the first segment. But of course, the big news for
LSU fans this morning waking up, especially if you didn't
stay up for the entire thing, you're you go.
Speaker 7: To bed early.
Speaker 5: LSU baseball falls to McNeice seven to six in a
game where LSU certainly had his chances. I just couldn't
really see an opportunity, couldn't take advantage of their chances.
Sloppy pitching early especially and then but later shut him down.
And so we're gonna kind of go through exactly how
it all happened. First sitting looked pretty good. First any looked.
It was very exciting. First baseman Zach York watched two
run homer his fourth dinger of the season in the
first inning to give the Tigers a two nothing lead,
and then McNeice responded with four runs in the second inning,
taken a lead that it would not give up. The
Cowboys benefited in that inning from a walk a hit
by pitch a wild pitch, and that was kind of
the story of the early parts of the game. I
believe there was six total walks, five hit batters throughout
the game, and you watch it and that's that what
leads that's what leads you to throwing ten pitchers and
nine innings, which is something you never really want to do.
Mcmeans then tacked on three more runs in the fourth
to take a seven to two advantage. That's a lead
that they just would not give up. LSU bullpen blank
the Cowboys over the final five innings, and LSU was
able to reduce the deficit to one run. Right Fielder
Jake Brown delivered an RBS single in the fifth. Center
field Derek Derek Curiele scored later in the inning on
a pass ball. Carrie Ill lifted a sacrifice fly in
the sixth to narrow the gap to seven to five.
Designated hitter John Pearson unloaded another danger in the seventh
to reduce the deficit to seven to six, and that's
how it would finish it up. But Devin Shearon and
Jaden Newton retired mcneise in order in the eighth and
ninth innings to give l s U at least a
fighting chance, and they did have a chance in the ninth.
I had runners first and second, two out spot of
the ninth, but mcneesse reliever Brady Corkoran got them all out.
Seth the arter hit a fly ball. It looked like
it was going go blow wind, blow track down at
the warning track game over. LSU loses midweek game though,
how do we feel? I know we're nobody's worried about it.
It's week three, We're in February. Still, Michael Andre said,
we lost, we got we got run rolled last year.
Speaker 6: No, it was actually northwestern Northwest. Yeah, my bad. I
mixed them up.
Speaker 7: I believed it.
Speaker 4: I mean that was on me.
Speaker 6: I mixed them up.
Speaker 4: He said, I believe.
Speaker 7: I believe that I was there.
Speaker 6: I gave you no reason not to believe.
Speaker 7: Nichols, you were confident.
Speaker 4: About three times last week.
Speaker 5: Last week. Yeah, So when I was watching, I didn't
watch a ton of it. I watched a little bit
of it. Then I watched the recap afterwards.
Speaker 7: So there's that good. There's a good video on youtwo.
Speaker 5: It's like fifteen gives you all all the hits, all
the outs, it gives you everything, all the moments in
the game for about fifteen to twenty minute highlight and
it certainly looked like there was a lot of chances,
but it looked like it was just sloppy pitching. Like
I don't think again, I'm becoming, I'm entering. I'm in
the cocoon of being a stitchhead. I have never seen
like that many people get hit by pitch on both sides.
And I think McNeese they weren't trying to win it either.
Speaker 7: Towards the end. They kept letting know what you get
on base.
Speaker 3: Well, they didn't score after the fifth inning, So yes,
mckneze gave you plenty of chances to come back and.
Speaker 6: Get in there, and you were in the game, you
were within one. You just couldn't get it done.
Speaker 3: And I don't think that LSU had a lot of
patience at the plate last night, and they were just
kind of swinging out of their shoes. Had Yeah, And
you know, you don't have to go up there and
do too much like you are if you're a good
offensive team, which I believe that LSU is, you don't
have to go up there and swing out of your
shoes every single time like you don't have to play
gorilla ball. Just put the ball in play, get some
runners in scoring position and move them.
Speaker 6: You don't have to hit a home run.
Speaker 3: It's cool when Zach York's first swing of the bat
is a home run. That's great, that's awesome.
Speaker 7: That's awesome.
Speaker 6: But yes, sometimes you just gotta like chip away at
the lead.
Speaker 3: You don't have to hit like obviously John Pearson's home
runs great too, but just get some runners on base,
take smart at bats, don't be swinging at balls out
the strike zone. Have some patients at the plate, which
is something that Jay really preaches and teaches. So I
don't know, like I think it's one of those things
where you go against the small school in your state,
you know, quote unquote little brother, and you want to
show up and show out, and they are also going
to give you their all because this is like a
huge game for them.
Speaker 5: That was one thing I was so impressed with the
team last year want watching once I joined the show.
It was like their plate discipline and their eye discipline.
Speaker 6: Yeah, in the batter spot, it's usually really good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've had they've had it so far this year.
Speaker 7: And I get that.
Speaker 5: I get that mentality. It's like, hey, it's Tuesday, it's
a night game. I think there's there's people in the stands,
but it's not crazy like. This is almost like and
I don't want to say this because I believe in
every game, right, and I know Jay Johnson does too,
But these are eighteen nineteen to twenty two year old kids, right,
and you get the mentality of all right, this is
almost like an exhibition in for me, I'm gonna go
and I'm gonna swing because this is this is McNeese.
I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna hit this about five
hundred feet. So I I under I can understand putting
myself in their shoes and having mentality like that, but
I I know it was driving Jay Johnson crazy. The
plate played discipline and just the inaccuracy on the pitcher's
moulland we were talking about it last segment a little bit.
It's like, yeah, you walk somebody, you're out. Next person in, Oh,
you hit somebody, you're out. Like it was the one
striking you're out type of situation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like she said, there was just pressing a little bit, right,
because I mean, yes, you're playing a little brother in midweek.
But when you fall down seven to two, you're like,
what's happening. You're like trying to force your way back
into this game.
Speaker 2: Matt.
Speaker 4: It's like you see a quarterback in football, right, he
goes out there, he throws a pick and now you're
down multiple scores, and instead of taking the easy first down,
he takes a shot, trust to take another pick, and
he's like, Hey, I'm just trying to make a play.
That's That's kind of what it seemed like. Less like
just you had opportunities. We were talking about it before
the show. Sixth inning, one out, bases loaded, McNee pulls
their pitcher, nothing, and I mean that was an opportunity
for you to take the lead. You couldn't. Everyone wants
to talk about all the hit batters and free passes
for LSU. McNeice walked eight batters. Yeah, they struck out eight.
You struck out fourteen. You actually go look at the
box score. You should win this game. It was just
McNeice took advantage of the opportunities and you didn't. You
were pressing to get back into things, and I mean
you just fall up a little short.
Speaker 6: Yeah, eighteen pitchers between both teams.
Speaker 5: Wild right on this random Tuesday night. It was a
little sleepy Tuesday l She was three for seventeen with
runners on base, two of ten with runners in scoring position,
McNeese on hand for four of seventeen with runners on
and two of twelve with runners in scoring positions. So
kind of to the point, like nobody wanted this game.
Speaker 3: Three of eighteen with runners in scoring position is crazy
because like we we were just talking about how LSU's
really good at the timely hitting, and I was curious
to know like Jay's philosophy on it and how he
teaches that and preaches it during the off season, and
like gearing up to the season is like timely hitting
because LSU's really good at it, you weren't last night.
Speaker 6: Three of eighteen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like it's spots, like Jake Brown's RBI late in
the game was huge. Kurio had a big rb I
but like outside of that, like Pearson had a good game,
but it was kind of too little, too late at
that point, just to her point, like really one through nine, Like, yes,
Jake Brown's RBI was big. He was one for five
last night though, so I mean he came up big
down the stretch. But you just you got yourself into
a hole because you came out, like you said earlier,
trying to play guerrilla ball.
Speaker 5: What well, McNee snaps a sixteen game win streak four
LSU that dates all the way back to last year's
in CAA regional.
Speaker 7: Well, we gotta look forward. We're gonna put the We're
gonna put Tuesday. We're gonna put that to bed.
Speaker 6: Yeah, cause we got to say twenty four hour rule.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 5: I think for Tuesday, it's we gotta be like a
twelve twelve hour rule, maybe eighteen tops. But they're back
at it today. They got a big weekend in the box.
Tigers will play Dartmouth Friday and Sunday and then Northeastern
on Saturday and Monday.
Speaker 4: You were saying yesterday, you were when you were leaving,
you're not worried about dart But they're they're studying. Yeah,
they're practice in baseball.
Speaker 5: Just a bunch of nerds. So Ivy League nerds coming
down here. Don't worried about it. We're gonna good play discipline.
That's great swing. Swing for the fences. See guy, let's
start with guys.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, well, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I feel like base baseball is like a nerd sport.
Speaker 4: Oh, it could be like if I swing the bat
at this trajectory by lawn chingle is gonna be like
they could be like calculating all that crap, like billy being.
Speaker 7: Yeah, this is a Billy being type team. I don't
love it. Don't love the matchup.
Speaker 4: You were all about it.
Speaker 5: I mean, you made a really good point, nerd stuff,
got it all right? Well anyway, elsu baseball, we got
this natty back.
Speaker 7: Let's go.
Speaker 5: We'll be counting jealous shots here in a couple of months. People,
don't worry.
Speaker 6: I can't wait. I can't wait for another fifteen hour
road trip.
Speaker 7: You know, never let you do, katy z yep. That's
the sound that screens make. Let outdoor a living area.
Speaker 5: When you got those motorized screens going up and down
Katz interiors, outdoor living, whether it's inside, whether it's your
outside patty, like we just talked about, with those motoriace screens,
they can absolutely change your house the way the way
it looks, the way it functions.
Speaker 7: With those window coverings.
Speaker 5: It's blinds, it's shades, it's drapes, it's curtains, it's whatever,
it's it's all the things they can walk into your space.
Brandon Barton is scene. Give them a call uh two

come out there and they'll know your space better than
you do in like five ten minutes. They will can
tell you all the upgrades, any price point to give
them your budget, what you're working with, what you're thinking,

project coming up, so Kittzy Interiors after Living Katz Blinds
dot Com.
Speaker 7: We'll be back here. We'll keep talking sports.
Speaker 5: We got a big show ahead of us, a lot
to talk about, a lot to get to you right here,
off the bench, off the.
Speaker 2: Bench, ready for action, nipping in the bug.
Speaker 10: We never relaxing, our casts, ever lasting, not clashing out
at all.
Speaker 2: Oviously want to do one little act. And that's for
anyone asking.
Speaker 1: From the locker room to the airwaves. It's off the
bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: So picking the ticket.
Speaker 10: Let's you can see belt passing, trunk rattling like too
minutes in the back seat, rattling speaker box by break
the tag, make it sound like a lot cans in
the bag.
Speaker 2: But I know, y'all one of that ade old way.
Can you build that be a yes?
Speaker 7: S spee?
Speaker 2: But I know y'all one of that ade old way?
Can you build that be a yes?
Speaker 1: S spe.
Speaker 10: All?
Speaker 7: Right, welcome back here off the bench. When's the show?
Speaker 5: Brought to you by Hoodel live in the Raisin King Studio.
Speaker 4: Who how do we do?
Speaker 7: Guys? It was the first time trying to lead the
show with baseball.
Speaker 4: I thought you sounded like a ten year major league
manager watches watch Out Hunt.
Speaker 6: It sounds like what you're talking about.
Speaker 7: I'm not a big deal.
Speaker 4: The way you recap the scoring by any yeah, incredible.
Speaker 7: Definitely wrote that myself.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, it looks like it was right
in front of you, but like you were so natural
with it.
Speaker 5: I didn't even tell nailed it. H NFL combines today.
All week, mister Jacob Hester has been at the NFL Combine.
That is why he is not at the show. That's
why our lovely dog Kane is sitting across the desk
from me selling the set a word all week.
Speaker 7: But it's okay. She looks cute.
Speaker 5: So Jay joined the show yesterday for quite a bit,
but they are a lot of the player is taking
a podium today and he's going to try to jump
in at some point in the show today. We're not
going to hold our breath because he's like having an interview.
I think he's interviewing EDG. Dresher's right now, NFL network stuff.
Speaker 7: You know, not a big deal.
Speaker 5: I don't know why he wouldn't be able to come
on the sixth orinth show though, min Market Morning Show.
I gave him a pass for Super Bowl. True Colors
are kind of coming out. Like when I heard the
rejoin earlier, it was like purple and gold to the core.
I'm like, not, yes, Ja, jury's still out on that one.
Jake's whatever colors in front of him.
Speaker 6: We'll forgive Jake if he tells Ben Johnson how much
I love him.
Speaker 7: Okay, that's your he's on your.
Speaker 6: He's on my I met two of them. I met
Bob Chesney, Bob es. There's another one that I'm like,
that's on my list, which one he was.
Speaker 4: In, which also had a plot twist there. Not to
take a shot at a man's name, but when I
hear the name Bob Chestney, I don't think heart throb
by any means. I think old hard news guy that
has too much dip in his lip. Bob Chesney, though,
I meant a little bit of a little bit of
a smoke show, if we're being honest.
Speaker 6: Well, he was on Cowboy u.
Speaker 4: Y Kenny's younger brother.
Speaker 5: Yes, talented family, very talented. Well, there's a handful of
athletes at the Combine this week that are very talented
as well. Okay, everybody's talented, but specifically in the speed category,
there are let's see there are five guys that are
projected that have an opportunity, a potential opportunity to break
the all time NFL speed record for the forty yard dash.
Speaker 7: Two of five of those players guess what school they
went to?
Speaker 5: LSU Losingna State University, LSU Tigers, Barry and Brown, Chris
Hilton all have an opportunity to run.
Speaker 7: A blazing time.
Speaker 5: Now, the record, the all time record was set two
years ago, I believe by Xavier Worthy. Four two one
got a big deal.
Speaker 6: So if you get like a four to twenty, yeah, yep,
like just by like zero point one second, yep, we
just call it.
Speaker 5: Four two Oh okay, big four two. I like the
four twenty though, like that, then you get the record.
That's a that's a really that's a blazing time. What
did Deon Sanders run backwards? Was it a four to six?
Speaker 4: Was that the Did they ever actually clock him back?
I mean, I know they said, like, but you gotta
believe it.
Speaker 6: Remember, Barryon was like leading at the Senior Bowl.
Speaker 5: The speed Yeah, like so yeah, the stats they had
like the satellite tracker on all of them. Now, he
was definitely trying to win that award, yeah, because he
was doing. They were doing like the punt catches like
before practice, like the warm up. It's not even a
live drill. It's it's just the punters right kicking to
the returners. And he would take every single one eighty
yards as fast as as fast as he could. Yeah,
they would take it to the ends out smart. Yeah
he's smart. He's trying to get his name up on
the on the jumbo trone. Yeah, he's got a shot there.
Speaker 4: I mean remember coming into last year, any article you
saw CBA sports where someone comes from two, four to seven,
all of them were like Baron Brown, fastest player in
college football, everybody across the board. Chris Hilton track speed fast.
I mean Chris Hilton like state champion, performer in track
for a number of years in the high school ranks.
Like these guys all have the ability to do have
Brendan Thompson's on this list from Mississippi State, Like I
didn't realize he was as fast as he was. Uh
he clock twenty three point seven miles per hour. Before
last season, that would have been Thompson the SEC. Now
he needs it because he's about five to nine a
buck sixty five soak and wet so Thompson's going to
need that speed. But I think Barry Brown, I think
Chris Hilden, I think they got a shot at this
thing for sure.
Speaker 6: I think so too.
Speaker 5: They definitely have a shot. A sub fourth three like
for four to two one, man, that's that's a that's
that's hard to beat.
Speaker 6: What was it before Exavier Worthy?
Speaker 4: It was a four to two two I believe it
was was a dree Archery.
Speaker 7: It could have been Chris Johnson. Was it for a while?
Speaker 5: That was like a four to two eight or something
like that? Running back. I remember training with him at
the Wide World of Sports for the Combine. When I
was going to the Combine, it was John Ross. John Ross, right, dude,
he turned that into a first round pick. Yeah, I
mean that's John Ross, solid receiver at Washington.
Speaker 2: He turned that.
Speaker 4: I think the Bengals took him like top fifteen because
of that forty yard dash like that's.
Speaker 5: That's probably the same with Xavier Worthy too. Like we've
talked about all last week and leading up to the Combine, like,
there are a few guys that really helped themselves at
the at the Combine. Most of the people are just
trying not to hurt themselves. Most people are trying to
like go do the interviews and and not get crossed
off a teams less. But there are guys that go
every single year and they run a crazy forty or
they do a crazy bench rep max and they do
help them. It's just so many people are few and
far between running a four to two. But if you do,
there's gonna be like we like to say this term
all the time, but like gms and scouts, they can't
unsee that time that is in your face and it's like,
holy hell, we can do this. Then you talk to
coaching staff, and coaching staff coach coaches are cocky. They're like,
you give me that speed, I'll turn them into an
all pro receiver. You give me that talent, I can
do it.
Speaker 7: I can teach him. Now, we haven't really seen it
pan out with Xavier Worthy yet.
Speaker 4: He's been injured.
Speaker 7: I tak about.
Speaker 5: Certainly been there a lot of those underneath routes and stuff.
I haven't really seen him as a deep threat yet,
but he takes a lot of shorter intermediate throws.
Speaker 7: The flashes to me have been those types of points.
Speaker 5: That's the years and I think that's the way like
if Barran Brown and Chris Hilton are going to make
it at the next level, which they absolutely can't. They wonder.
We saw it at at the Senior Bowl when Chris
Hilton was there for one period. He had just got
off a plane. They put him in for one period
that help price. He did no team, he didn't do
something else, and they put him in two on two. Yeah,
nobody could keep up with him. He kept running slot
receiver run like a slot fade. He'd run a corner
out and the quarterbacks couldn't throw it far enough. He
didn't catch one pass because every single one was underthrown,
but he had his dB beat by three or four
yards every time.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Now it was their first time seeing him as well,
so they probably made their adjustments as well from the
angles and the speed of which they flipped their hips
and turned their shoulders and covered him. But they couldn't
cover him that first day.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we didn't get to see him the next day.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think I was there. I think I
had left before that next day practice.
Speaker 3: I was there, but it was kind of the same
where I think he was still trying to learn their stuff,
so they weren't playing him a whole bunch.
Speaker 5: It was his fourth game in four weeks that he
was going to But we, just as LSU fans, we
hoped that they have successful careers. They certainly have a
chance at putting up one hell of a time and
helping themselves a ton this week and the combine can't
wait to watch.
Speaker 7: That's not gonna be until later this week or this weekend.
But we talked about that yesterday and.
Speaker 3: Then that viral video of Barryon burning Malik Mohammad. Oh, yeah,
it's completely speaking of falling flat.
Speaker 7: On your face, sorry about it.
Speaker 6: Seeah. I think both of them are set to have
a pretty good combine.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they can help themselves a lot because they
can run that good time, and we've seen people run
a good time and bump up a couple of rounds.
And Chris Hilton, I don't know, he's probably an undrafted
free agent guy right now. I mean, running four to two,
you could potentially get in that fifth, sixth, at least
seventh round.
Speaker 4: Well, you were you were talking about Xavier Worthy with
the UH with the screens not necessarily deep threat, it's
gonna be a learning curve for Bearying Brown and Chris Hilton.
They've never been in an offense that ran properly.
Speaker 7: Ran it properly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's they're gonna behind the eight ball for sure.
All right, well we'll keep talking. We're gonna go to
break here.
Speaker 7: Stick with us.
Speaker 5: We're gonna close out our number one right here. Enough,
