Speaker 1: I'll start Toyota Presents off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn and Hester.
Speaker 2: And Hester got it five little pot.
Speaker 1: From carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each
other on the air.
Speaker 3: Where there's proud control.
Speaker 1: Live from the Raising Kine Studio.
Speaker 2: It's off the bench, all right, welcome back here and
now number three of ot B here live from the
Raizycines Studio. Always a pleasure to welcome on our next guest,
Connor O Geret Saturday down South joins us. Now, mister Garret,
how are we doing as we get ready for Turkey
Day tomorrow?
Speaker 4: I'm doing really well. You know. I love this week.
I think it's, you know, just such a fun experience
we get in college football to have Black Friday, which
has now become just a musty day in the college
football calendar. And I'm you know, doing all my pod
prep breaking down all these matchups, and I'm legitimately looking
forward to so many of these games, whether they have
playoff implications or not.
Speaker 2: All right, which one are we looking forward to the most?
Speaker 5: Then?
Speaker 4: The Iron Bowl this year is just it's perfect. It's
so fitting right now to be at this point with
what's at stake for Alabama? Obviously, you know we were
told going into the twelfth team playoff era, you know,
regular season games just not going to matter as much.
You cannot overstate the importance of this game for kaaln
de Borr, who is going into this one knowing that
if he loses, his team will be out of the
College Football Playoff. Yet if he wins, his team is
going to Atlanta, and you're in theory still still probably
going to have a chance to get a first round
by in the College Football Playoff. And so the Alabama
is going team that has that type of variability left,
and so you're going into this house of horrors place,
which has been historically the case for Alabama. But you know,
you look at recent history and Alabama has just been
the team that has found a way to win at
your Air. They haven't lost there since twenty nineteen. So
I look at that matchup and the fact that Auburn
is now you know, got the five wins, They're playing
in a different way than they did with Hugh Freeze,
and they're kind of playing with house money at this point.
So it's just kind of the perfect rivalry weekend setting
for a game that's going to have a standalone spotlight
in the SEC to close out the regular season slate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Darren Bowls always to get to keep
someing giving, and certainly when it's played in that place.
So I'm right there with you. How could you not
be excited about that? What I'll tell you what another
game that I'm excited about is Vanderbilt in Tennessee. This
was going to be in neland in Knoxville. I mean,
Vanderbilt's got a chance to do something pretty special now.
I know because of where they sit right now doesn't
necessarily guarantee them a playoff spot, which is wild. We
just always thought any ten and two SEC team would
get into the college football playoff. But look, if they win,
they still have a great opportunity. And we've been doing
this a long time together, Connor, I never thought we'd
be talking about the potential of Vanderbilt winning and getting
maybe a playoff spot.
Speaker 4: It is crazy, and I like my I if I'm
a Vanderbilt fan, I'm going into this one kind of
putting the playoff out of sight, out of mind, because
there's enough meat on that bone. Yes, Thanksgiving pun very
much intended to look at this matchup and still be
really excited about what's at If your team is able
to win, you have a guy that is trying to
get to New York, which I think Diego Pobby is
a very good chance of doing that. You're going into
a place that, you know, let's be honest, has been
a really difficult venue for your program for a very
long period of time, and you're trying to show what
Diego Pavi has said, I'm busting with the boys in
the off season, that you're going to run the state
of Tennessee. You can do all of these things and
kind of add to this Tennessee misery and close out
this chapter of Vanderbilt football in such a fun way.
And to me, that's not to say that the playoff
stuff is irrelevant, but there's still so much joy in that,
and there could still be so many great memories that
are made for this van football program. If you're able
to win a game like that in Knoxville, and knowing
that your program hasn't won nine regular season games since
the Woodrow Wilson administration, you've already been able to check
that box. And so I just think that if we
focus on strictly the playoff, you're probably doing it wrong
from the bandy side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, gosh, I wanted to get in. I
wanted to get in so bad. I think it'd be
such a great story in Clark Lee and Diego Pavi
and just everything that they've done there. So they might
need some things in front of them. Whether we agree
with that or disagree with that, So we'll see how
that all plays out. All right, let's go ahead and
do it. Let's get to Norman. Oklahoma. LSUE versus Oklahoma
Connor feels like a very bad matchup for the places
that LSU struggling. Oklahoma is elite. Now Lshu's defense, I
think gives them an opportunity to try to pull off
some crazy upset because Oklahoma's offense is not exactly world
beaters either. This feels like it could be a good
old two thousand and six fourteen to ten game.
Speaker 4: This is an Iowa game. This is really I mean,
the over under thirty six and a half points.
Speaker 2: It just keeps going down to Yeah.
Speaker 4: And look, I'm even surprised it's still that high. Like
if this ends up at like thirty four points, it's
not going to stun me because yeah, I mean twenty
four to ten. You ne'd easily picture that. You're like, oh, wow,
Oklahoma's gonna score three touchdowns. Maybe maybe not. You know
how hard it is to be a double digit underdog
with a spread that low. I mean, it's it's star
near impossible to have an over under that low. I
would say, yeah, it is truly stunning to think about
how much this LSU offense has struggled. I know it's
very well documented on your airwaves, but it's going into
a hornet's nest. That's what the Oklahoma defense has been
because early on they couldn't force any turnovers. There was
one time where they went into that Kent State game
is the only FBS team that hadn't forced a turnover yet,
which was baffling for a defense that good. And in
the last three games where they've beat nothing but ap
tops twenty five teams, they've got an eight to two
advantage in the turnover margin, so they've been able to
do that. They've been able to get the chunk plays
with Isaiah Satania and John Metier is going to be
relied on a ton in this game. This is an
empty the tank game. For John Mattier and what is
the Blake Baker defense struggled with historically mobile quarterbacks, and
so that's why I think this is a difficult matchup
for LSU. And yes, all the pressure in the world
is on Oklahoma Brent Vnables, Right, you cannot lose this
game to an interim coach, with an LSU team that
has had all all of its hopes and aspirations wiped
off the table. You cannot ruin your playoff path with
a home loss like this. I don't think that ends
up happening though, And I think it's too difficult to
have a matchup for LSU. They need a non offensive
touchdown and maybe a miracle to win this game.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's get outside of the game that's
coming up, because you know, LSU is going to have
to play its very best, I think, to get the
victory there in Norman. But let's just look at LSU
moving forward. What is your take on all the craziness
that's going on surrounding the you know, potential new LSU
head coach, whoever that might be, be it Lane Kiffen
or someone else. It's always great to get an outside perspective.
On this because obviously, like boots on the ground here,
you're hearing every single rumor what do you think at
the end of the day Connor.
Speaker 4: Happens, LSU thinks they have Lane Kiffin. Now, whether or
not that's going to be the case, I would not
bet my life on that whatsoever. I'm still on record thing.
I think Lane returns, but LSU seems to think that
that Lane is indeed going to be theirs. And you know,
if this Eli Drinkowitz deal happens, to me, that would
be more confirmation that Lane is leaving, because I would
tend to think that if if Lane isn't going to
be going to LSU, that that would be the place
that ultimately LSU would want to turn. We've talked about
this before, but to me, I think there are so
many dominoes that are waiting to fall with this Lane
Kiffin situation. And if we do actually get this announcement
twenty four hours after the egg Bowl was played, and
we're you know, we're aware of where he's going to
end up by Saturday morning, then I think everybody else
is going to look around all this time. These moves
are going to start happening left and right, But man,
it sure seems like LSU feels like it has Link Kiff.
And now I had talked to people that felt like
Florida had had Lane in the bag and like there
was a better chance than not that he was gonna
end up there on some historic contract. I think what's
very clear is that Lane is not going to be
picking these places for money. It feels like the money
is going to be the same at all of these,
you know, these three schools that he's considering. But man,
everything that it seems like is coming out makes it
seem like LSU feels like it has the best chance
to land Lane Kiffin.
Speaker 2: All right, And you still think your gut though that
he goes back to old miss Yeah, I do.
Speaker 4: And maybe that's dumb, and you know, I'm gonna maybe
I'll just go down on the Titanic with that one.
But like you can just picture this, You can picture
this announcement coming on Saturday morning and maybe it's Lane
going on college game day and it's Keith Carter in
the background, and Lane just does a very Lane thing
to announce I'm not going anywhere. I'm coming back. This
was always the plan. That's that shouldn't surprise anyone at
this point, even if he's made these people, these decision makers,
feel like he's ending up at their school, but it's
just all very Lane. It is so Lane, this entire process,
and it could end in a very Lane way, and
maybe even new Lane is actually deciding he wants a
heroes welcome, and he wants here in the hero's return,
and he wants to be able to come back to
Oxford knowing that he considered these possibilities, but ultimately he's
found his forever home at Old Miss.
Speaker 2: All Right, If Lane given does stay at Old Miss,
which is certainly a possibility, where do you think Lsu goes.
Speaker 4: I would think that it's that it's still on the
table for Kenny Dillingham. I would think that that's still
an option because I know that they've talked about, you know,
getting him a new contract, and he's told recruits like
he's coming back and everything. I think he's too good
of a coach to just you know, say, ah, you
know what. I guess. I guess he likes it there.
I guess we won't you know, kick the tires at all.
I think even if you're at home, and even if
you're a place where you feel like this is this
is my job. I you know, I owe so much
to this university. I do think that they're still a
few of those jobs that you consider. And I can't
help but think that Kenny Dillingham would love the possibility
of going to a big time place like LSU. I can't.
I look at his situation right now and think that
he's got total alignment there and that would be all
well and good. But you know, it's a very different
recruiting in the recruiting pool that LSU has to work
with as opposed to one that he has at Tempee,
And I just think that that he would be the
one that LSU would want to just essentially push all
the chips into the middle and say, let's go on
and get him, especially if you like Drinkawits ultimately wants
to stay at Miszoo. So I think that they would
still be swinging big. But you know, everything is going
to feel like a loss for whoever doesn't end up
with Blane Kiffin.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're probably right about that. I mean, just because
you've you know, pushed all your chips to the middle
of the table there, so if you don't then there's
going to be at least a little bit of a
time period where you have some disappointment, even though you
know this. I think Kenny Dillingham is an absolute star
and I think any team would be lucky to have him.
So we'll see where that ends up. What about Florida?
What about the Gators? If they don't get Lane Kiffin?
Where do you think the Gators go? And also it
is so quiet on the planes, which is never quiet there,
and right it's I don't know. I'm kind of nervous about,
like what's going to happen. They're nervous because I think
they actually might be doing it the right way.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jake, I think that this ends up with John
Summraw at Auburn. I'll until i'm told that he's not
going to that job, I'm going to assume he's going
to that job. And I think the meeting called off
with Florida. You know, it was never on the table,
it was it was whatever. I think that ultimately we're
going to see a relatively straightforward path. Dare I say
to Auburn hiring a football coach, what a crazy concept?
And really Florida? Yeah, you know, I just talked about
Kenny Dillingham leaving home and potentially ending up at lsuflas
who doesn't get link Kiffin. I think bran Kee could
still end up at Florida. I really do. And I
know that last week was really really rough to watch
the way that it ended for Georgia Tech. Their their
potential playoff push. They can still some chaos and get
to the ACC Championship early as that. But I still
think that Scott Strickland is enambered by Brent Keeth. And
I do think that a guy making four and a
half million bucks, there is still going to be a
real appeal for him to want to go to a
state that he spent a lot of time in and
he can say all he wants, you know, cut me
open and see what colors I bleed. I think that's
all well and good. But until you say I'm coming back,
I'm not going anywhere. I still think that that's on
the table. And I still think that Florida would be
willing to come over the top to get a coach
like him, So I think that that's where they would
turn if ultimately they're they're on the outside looking in
at the lane. Kiff and sweepstakes.
Speaker 2: All right, if Lane Kiffin stays at Ole miss, LSU
gets Kenny Dillingham, and Auburn gets John Summer, all ranked
those one through three, Oh man, I.
Speaker 4: Think it's dialing if you could. If you get dilling
Ham to LSU, that's one. That's one. To me, I
would probably still go with Summer on at two, and
I'd consider him at one. I really do think he's
that good. Like he's fifteen to three and one score games,
Like he just seems to be a guy that kind
of gets it. I love that he comes out here
and does the thing that nobody's willing to do and say,
you know, instead of saying his team deserves a shot
at the college football playoff, he's like, you know, if
we're the highest ranked group of five team, that's saying
a lot about the group of five because we're not
a good enough team.
Speaker 2: To warnt that.
Speaker 4: I just like, I love that man, Like I think
he just kind of gets it. And I do think
that that there are going to be people that look
back on this cycle in wonder Man, with John Sumrall,
the Dan Lanning that was just sitting right there that
he kind of could have had and instead he ends
up doing great things at a place like Auburn. So
and that's not to discount bran Key, because I do
think that would be a fantastic higher for Florida with
the type of identity that he's been able to bring
the Georgia Tech, the fact that he just every single time,
you know, stares down Kirby Smart in these games and
makes them fistfights. Like I just tend to think that
Brent key Is is going to have a lot more success,
you know, and the the rest of the decade with
whatever he hands up. So I would probably go that
order one through three. But there's not a whole lot
of separation between those three guys in my opinion.
Speaker 2: All Right, there is our guy, Connor ghera Saturday down south,
good enough to join us here, Connor, fantastic stuff as always.
Enjoy the holiday, sir with your family.
Speaker 4: Thanks man, we'll talk so all right.
Speaker 2: We will step away here. I always appreciate Connor's time,
by the way, I bet you I don't even notice.
I bet I'm talking to him on off campus today
as well. But we get to go outside of the
normal conversation there. We got our guy chef Michael Johnson
set to join us munch. He's on a Wednesday. That's
always a good thing. We might have to put together
a pontoon parlay before we get out of here. Dad,
I didn't even think.
Speaker 6: About it being the same. I was gonna ask y'all
if y'all want to do one today.

Speaker 2: All right, chef, what's going on? How you doing?
Speaker 5: Hey, living sir, I'm good brother, I'm an ok see
right now?
Speaker 2: Oh you're all ready? I got you all right? Nice
planning ahead, already getting ready for the game against Oklahoma.
All right, all right, yeah, I guess that's true. You
got to maybe get there a little bit early since
it's a new spot that we haven't played.
Speaker 5: At well, you know, usually we have our meetings on
Thursday and Thanksgiving Thursday. So we're meeting on Wednesday today
just to get everything sorted through, and we'll have a
we have a skip day and then game on.
Speaker 2: Looking forward to it, looking forward to getting there, on
going to be there Saturday morning, and you know, a
great opportunity for the Tigers. All right. So who's holding
it down back in ban Rouge for maybe Thanksgiving?
Speaker 8: Me?
Speaker 2: Because I don't know if y'all still do it the
same way, Chef. When we were playing, we used to
have like an early practice that morning, and then for
the guys that weren't from like an hour away, they
would always host like a big Thanksgiving meal for us.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's exactly what's happening. Yeah, Chef, Run's back there, my,
you know, the whole team's back there. On Thanksgiving Day,
we kind of go down to a skeleton crew of
people who are willing to do the work and not
force people to work on Thanksgiving. But you know, everybody's
always happy to do it. They get it. It's a
special day to be close to the athletes.
Speaker 2: All right, Chef, Let's go ahead and make your before
we get to the munchies. Questions let's get to your
ideal Thanksgiving plate. Right you're making it. You know, football
is on. You know, you've got a recliner with your
name on it. What is going on? Chef Michael Johnson's
perfect Thanksgiving plate?
Speaker 5: Oh man, that's tough, you know. Obviously it's kind of
has some golden roasted turkey on there, not dried, you know,
like baby bear, just perfect. Yeah, gotta have some mashed
potatoes on there, for sure. I like green bean castrole
with the fried onions and oh yeah, I have this.
I had this new thing I found Frid Hallapain is
I like to put in my green back green being
cast rolled it. They complimented very well. Probably some probably
some pumpkin pie somewhere, you know, on the side, maybe
on the plate even you know, Gosh, I don't know.
I like I like corn bread and corn bread cast
roll uh over, like oyster cast roll or stuffing, you
know what I mean. So I don't know. I think
all those things are going to be on the plate.
Some gravy for sure, lots of lots of brown gravy.
I'm a brown gravy guy, not a white gravy guy.
I don't know. I think you're gonna have some sweet
pieces in there too, man. I mean, if you got room,
it's gonna be a big plate, you know, probably probably piled.
Speaker 2: As it absolutely should be. Chef, all right, let's see
hashtag munchies. How do you feel about ribbi being served
on Thanksgiving instead of turkey?
Speaker 5: I cut out there, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you feel about ribbi being served on
Thanksgiving instead of turkey?
Speaker 5: Oh? I'm damn brother.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: You know what's funny is I did that one Thanksgiving
and my son he was he was it was probably
six or eight years ago, and he was quite a
bit younger, and he he was quite upset that he
wasn't getting turkey on the given days we're eating cow?
Speaker 8: What is this?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he's he's grown to appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Though, Chef. What is the difference? I think there's an
obvious difference, but I don't know. I'm gonna ask the
question anyway. What is the difference between sweet potato casse
role and carrots? Who flay? Is different?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Well, I mean sweet potata sweet ptata casserole can
can come in many different forms, right, and charrishy play
you take care, you take the cars puree of it
down and with a lot of sugar and the little
cream into him so that the hold like an air
structure inside of it, right, And so that way when
you bake it, it kind of lists and and and elevates.
And that's the soupfl a piece of it. But I mean,
the essential ingredients are just about the same. It's the
process in which you handle it is the primary difference.
Speaker 2: Never knew that, never knew that there was. I don't know,
never knew there was. Which one? Do you prefer karrisu
Fla or sweep Tata Cassrow.
Speaker 5: I'm a soupfl a guy, just because there's more work
that goes into it. I appreciate the hands of the
chef there, the person that's the go so that's making it.
You know, it's it's just an elevated dish.
Speaker 2: I think hashtag munchies. How does a Scotch egg made
with boudan sound?
Speaker 5: Oh, I'd eat it any Put the bootan with anything
and I'll eat it. Man, It's Scotch Eggs are not
going to be the exception for me.
Speaker 2: Hashtag munchies. You need to try crawfish boiling a turkey,
ever heard of that.
Speaker 5: No, no crawfish boil.
Speaker 2: In a I guess like you like the same thing
that you would do, same spice, the same everything, if
you drop the turkey instead of the crawfish.
Speaker 5: I don't know about boiling a turkey, but I could
be putting that spice on a turkey and maybe like
plumping it a little bit and then frying it, you know,
or injecting it with the with the crawfish boil spice.
I think that would be interesting.
Speaker 2: You know, all right, hashtag munchies. What seasoning do you
have to bring with you when you travel just in
case you can't find it?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: Man, that's a good one, you know. Fresh Marjoram is
something that I absolutely love. And if you can't ever
find it, it's not at the store. It's you know,
it's never anywhere you'd need it. And if I'm making
a red sauce and there's this, there's certain there's certain
sauces you know that I really love that that. I
think Marjoram just does better than a lot of other things.
You could use the regano, but I think Marjoram has
a character and Marjoram is definitely one of those things
that I frustrate over the most not having in a
place where it should.
Speaker 2: I could actually get behind that. I like that one.
Uh hashtag munchies. If you are frying something, what is
your favorite oil to use? Uh?
Speaker 5: You know, it depends on who I'm cooking for. I
guess if it's for me, the canola oil, which is
just kind of the go to when we work at
the at the nutrition center. But I also like coconut oil,
you know, if it has a low smoke point, so
you have to be careful about it. Coconut coconut oil.
Is it just tastes good? Right? And it Uh, I
don't know. I like the flavor of it, but it's
not super healthy. It tastes an good.
Speaker 2: Right, right, Chef. What's the difference between vegetable oil and
canola oil? Like, what's the like, what's the biggest difference there?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 5: You know, I mean there's all kinds of stuff in there,
that's it. Both of them are are pretty healthy, healthy
as far as lipoproteins and and you know, saturated or
lack of saturated fats. Reality is is it either? Like,
I mean, there's there's subtle differences in there as far
as the little laic acids and stuff like that. But canola,
I think is it has a really has a higher point,
allows you to abuse it a little bit.
Speaker 2: More because you know, we got that built in fryer
in the house, and I'm trying some different oils and
like we even try like the peanut oil. But you know,
sometimes peanut oil is you gotta be a little careful
because it feels like it tastes good. Sometimes peanuts maybe, uh,
you know, get you feeling a little certain type of way.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And you know people people kind of get weird
about peanut oil. So I just steer it to steer
away from it. You know, Canola I think carry some
good flavor with it, and people I think tolerate, you know,
the flavor of it more. You should. Back in the day,
we used to use animal vegetables shortening, which you know,
I mean it's like it's like a lard and that
tastes good too, but it's awful for you.
Speaker 2: All right. There, You is Chef Michael Johnson good enough
to join us here every single week to answer your
munchie question. Chef enjoy Oklahoma City. I will see you
Saturday morning, and happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 5: Sir Jesus, thank you.
Speaker 2: All right, we will step away and when we come back,
we are going to have a little bit of everything.
We're gonna have a little would you rather Thanksgiving edition.
We are also going to have a little pontoon parlay
that we put together here before we get out of
here on a Wednesday morning. All that coming your way,
wouldn't we jump back on OTB off the bench, all right?
Go to gcop net dot com. That is the website
for Gulf Coast Office Products. And look, we tell you
all the time, it is one of those situations where
if you need a document, you can't really wait. It's
not like, oh, we'll get somebody in here to fix it. No,
you got to have it done right then and there.

Speaker 2: And help Dorondo, don't wake it up out of my slumber.
Speaker 9: But then like rodo follow It's so timing is follow.
The Kiki Shepherd put about a win, a leper drag,

Speaker 2: Jackson sipping their milks.
Speaker 9: Taking a snow thom that my throat warm in the
doll room at the AU people do hate to athletics
might take you, but you must have be mistaken.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back? Yeah, well o TV. Here couple
more segments before we get out here for the holidays.
Well would you rather Wednesday Thanksgiving edition?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 2: Tay, you were excited about this. I'm gonna let you
start it off.
Speaker 3: Man, I don't have any I'm kidding.
Speaker 2: I thought you were. I was like, yes, mostly, can.
Speaker 10: You know, kind of kind of mix it up a
little bit about a little bit yesterday. Would you rather
as your side corn bread dressing or green bean casserole.
Speaker 2: Green bean castle castle, green bean cast role when done
right now? Some people try to church it up a
little too much. It's like, no, just keep it simple,
stupid your kiss method.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go corn bread dressing.
Speaker 10: And it's a risk because I feel like green bean
cast role is more consistent a lot of people's you know,
they're they're pretty much the same. I do like trying
new stuff, though, and I kind of feel like everyone's
corn bread dressing is just a little bit different.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with that, Okay.
Speaker 2: Would you rather have the perfectly, the most perfect cook
turkey every year or have elite sides? But the turkey
is always a little dry.
Speaker 8: Elite side, Like, I'm all about the side too, and
it's a part of the conversation, but it's not the stars.
Speaker 10: Yeah, And if you have a really good turkey, great,
you're eating good turkey with ten crappy sides. I got,
I got a variety of good stuff, just a slightly
dry turkey. No, that's the right answer for some gravy
on that turkey, just.
Speaker 8: Drowned it, or like combine it with your side, give
it a little little.
Speaker 2: Something, oh an amalgamation.
Speaker 6: Yes, I'm like T Bob and like I love a
bowl of slop.
Speaker 2: Oh you you go the whether the old KFC.
Speaker 8: Y'all knows, y'all know that's my big back like guilty.
Oh yes, I feel like I've said that before. Yes,
I the big bull or the famous bowl is like
my big back thing. Okay, whenever I want to like
really just be disgusting, that's what I go get.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 8: I haven't had it in a while, but like, oh man,
it's the best thing ever. If you ever had the
bowl at KC, it's awesome.
Speaker 2: I respect the.
Speaker 10: Fact that they put that on their everyday menu because
you know, one day they just saw somebody come in
and do that, like, hey, what's there.
Speaker 3: They're like it looks like.
Speaker 10: Chicken and mashed potatoes, maybe a little bit of corn.
They're like, you know what, throw it in there. We're
putting it on the menu. I respect that.
Speaker 2: I do too well done? All right, Landra, would.
Speaker 8: You rather cook the entire Thanksgiving meal by yourself or
clean up the entire meal by yourself.
Speaker 2: Ooh, that is a great question.
Speaker 10: So I'm not a great cook, Victoria is, and like
normally don't. I don't mind cleaning up, like, so I'll
do that. I mean, I'm good with that. I know
most people hate it. I don't mind cleaning up. Plus,
if I cook it, it's not going to be very good,
so I'll just I'll take the cleanup.
Speaker 8: I don't cook a lot, but I think I would
prefer cooking than cleaning.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Like, again, I'm not domestic.
Speaker 2: I know that cooking goes like it's probably a longer process.
Speaker 6: It's more fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but doing the dishes after like a huge meal, like, yeah,
that's a lot of work. I think it is.
Speaker 8: They're calling me a little slot now instead of little
sog because I said I like I like a little
sog my sandwiches.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that is That is a that's a
that's a choice.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, it's very big back.
Speaker 2: Yeah all right.
Speaker 3: Would you rather.
Speaker 10: Watch football all day on Thanksgiving or be able to
catch every college football playoff game? But you can't watch
any on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2: No, I gotta have football on Thanksgiving. Yeah, I agree,
it's just it's part of the process. It's part of
it's part of the holiday, honestly. So yeah, I'm gonna
go NFL on Thanksgiving, no doubt about it.
Speaker 3: It's a good sleigh too, really good slate.
Speaker 2: Oh I like this one? Okay? Would you rather only
be allowed to eat cast roles for Thanksgiving or only
be allowed to eat desserts?
Speaker 5: Wait?
Speaker 6: What was it? What was the first one?
Speaker 2: Only only be able to eat castle roles for Thanksgiving?
Or eat the desserts for Thanksgiving? The desserts deserts are elite.
Speaker 10: So I'm gonna go castrole only because I feel like
I have them like less frequently, like pumpkin pie on
Thanksgivings elite.
Speaker 3: I kind of have that throughout the year.
Speaker 10: I'm not gonna take the time to make a castle
roll out Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: Land.
Speaker 6: Let's see.
Speaker 8: Uh Okay, would you rather sit at the kids table
forever or be in charge of saying a five minute
heartfelt blessing every year?
Speaker 3: Kids Table's elite.
Speaker 2: Kid's table? Man? I can't. No, I don't have enough
motivates and inspires for five minutes.
Speaker 8: I don't think anybody has ever described me his heartfelt
so nice.
Speaker 2: And I could give you like a great ninety second prayer.
Right five minutes plus.
Speaker 3: These are picky eaters.
Speaker 10: I can snag whatever they don't want off their plate.
Yea stable, that seems like a great time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, kids, table's got all the tea too, Now it
really does. Hey they are They don't hold anything back, so.
Speaker 6: I will, no, Huck, just prove that it's true.
Speaker 3: It's very true.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 6: He's liked my high hydration great, the taste, the.
Speaker 2: Fact he went like category two hydration, great taste.
Speaker 3: He was trying to like defend my high.
Speaker 10: Later on, he's like, no, people only buy a Gatorade
because it's good, guys, because I love it, because my
eye is better for you. People only buy Gatoray because
it's good. I was like, not helping things there, but.
Speaker 2: I shout out to Huck.
Speaker 6: Adorable.
Speaker 2: Great performance, Great performance from our guy, Huck. All right,
let's see here we go. Would you rather go Black
Friday shopping at four am with your in laws or
deep fry the turkey with the one cousin who definitely
shouldn't be near an open flame keep out the turkey.
Speaker 3: That'd be fun, you know, see what he does with
that open flame.
Speaker 2: I would go Black Friday shopping with my in laws.
My father in law is hilarious. He is the one
lion king and he would be judging everybody that was
sitting in line, and he'd have something to say about everybody.
So I'd pick my in laws.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that seems more fun. I don't have in laws,
but I think that would probably be better.
Speaker 2: Than than cousin Eddie.
Speaker 8: Yeah, in the Turkey, I'd rather nobody die.
Speaker 3: I'm good with that.
Speaker 10: Problem is where I'm at, everybody's doing that with their
cousin too, Like fri everybody's with their cousin.
Speaker 3: Okay, and there we go.
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, sorry, sorry, I didn't know what you were
talking about.
Speaker 3: But I mean, yeah, maybe that's too.
Speaker 6: But they're squeezing the juice.
Speaker 3: Yeah maybe they are, you know, so the juice worth
the squeezle things.
Speaker 2: I guess it wasn't for the Saints though, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 10: No, it wasn't good for them, all.
Speaker 2: Right, Tae.
Speaker 3: Let's see, Okay, would you rather.
Speaker 10: Only be allowed turkey on Thanksgiving and no ham or
you're only limited to two sides every year?
Speaker 8: I can't do two sides. I'm don'na have to go
like turkey again. Sorry, you don't get any ham, I know,
but I.
Speaker 6: Need all them sides. I need at least four.
Speaker 3: I think I'm kind of with you on it.
Speaker 8: Like I need the mac and cheese, I need the
cast role, I need the mashed potatoes.
Speaker 6: That's already more than two, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I gotta have all the sides. I like ham over turkey,
but I gotta have this the sides of the star
of the show.
Speaker 3: They really are.
Speaker 10: The turkey is the centerpiece of the tape, but the main,
the main reason you go, or the sides?
Speaker 6: I don't have another one?
Speaker 2: Would you rather watch the NFL games on Thanksgiving with
no commercials or have unlimited leftovers with no football? I
gotta have football.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I can do that.
Speaker 6: It's no commercials.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no commercial zone is way better.
Speaker 2: I gotta have football.
Speaker 6: Eating leftovers gets old after a while, it does.
Speaker 3: Like I'm good with that for like a day after
Other than that is.
Speaker 2: All right, It's gonna do it for a little. Would

Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm locked in on l s U Football

Speaker 2: A you mean everything you want to they go go

here in o TV, here live the Raizy Kane Studio.
Speaker 7: See whatever you want, but you still gonna get it up.
Speaker 2: All right, Let's give a little Pontoon parlay and we're
gonna try to do it between games that are played
on Thursday or Friday, NFL or college kind of combining
them here for the you know, the change of slate,
gonna have games on different days here. And let's see.
Let's go ahead and see what Matt said. All right,
he's going with a game that is played tomorrow and
he is going to at home take the Kansas Jayhawks
plus eleven and a half against the utah Utes. The
reason why hydration. So Matt's going Jayhawks plus eleven and
a half at home against the utah Utes.
Speaker 6: I like it.
Speaker 8: Maybe we can call it the Mayflower parlay for Thanksgiving. Okay, Well,
what was that beeping or is it the song?
Speaker 2: Okay? Yeah, I think it's.
Speaker 3: Page Yeah, Okay, we got the last five more minutes
in here.
Speaker 8: Okay, So from mine. We're gonna head to Atlanta tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Atl We're gonna go.
Speaker 6: Down to Atlanta. Number twenty three.
Speaker 8: Georgia Tech facing off against Georgia, and we always know
Georgia Tech is gonna stand in bang with Georgia. So
I'm gonna go Georgia Tech plus thirteen and a hal
half over Georgia Rambling.
Speaker 3: Good pick.
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Are we mixing college in print?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 3: I'll go to the.
Speaker 2: NFL, the National Football League.
Speaker 3: Some NFL football is mats one.
Speaker 2: What says we're.
Speaker 10: Gonna uh, We're gonna go Chiefs Cowboys Kansas City three
and a half point road favorite. Okay, I'm actually gonna
take Dallas in this game. Now, boath teams had to
come from behind victory. I kind of thought the Eagles
and Colts boat choked that game away. But the Chiefs
are still just one in five on the season in
one score games. I think this is a tight matchup.
Chiefs haven't been good there and the Cowboys are at home.
So I'll take Dallas plus three and a half at
home against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 2: Cowboys when they're all on their own, I mean when
and that offense is clicking like that, and now that
you got Pickings and Lamb and you've got somebody that
can carry the football. And Williams now he was asked
to do way more at the beginning of the season
than he has been lately. But and Cowboys, now it's
a little hit or miss. It's got a little Panthers
feel to it. But when they're own, they are really
hard to stop. And Chiefs are one and four away
from Arrowhead this year, so.
Speaker 10: One and four away, one in five in one score games.
Speaker 2: So the Cowboys are three to one and one at home,
so much better in Dallas.
Speaker 6: I like that he's in an NFL pick in the parlay.
Speaker 2: We're gonna mix it up a little bit. Would you
do you want to add an NFL play?
Speaker 6: No, I was just I can.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to the NFL as well.
Speaker 6: Let me looks all right now.
Speaker 2: I know that the Bengals are three and eight. I
know they're one and four away from home, but I
know that they have to get some juice from Joe
Burrow coming back. He's playing in this game. Give me
the Bengals plus seven and a half on the road
against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have been beat up
as well. The Ravens have played better, They're still not
world beaters. I like getting some life with Joe Burrow
coming back, even if it's a backdoor cover situation. I
feel like they'll cover, being a touchdown spread. I know
it sounds crazy, but give me the Bengals to cover
against the Ravens.
Speaker 3: I like the pick.
Speaker 8: I mean, the only one they haven't been close and
recently is the Steelers.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I don't hate it.
Speaker 10: You look at Lamar since coming back from his injury.
He's played three games since injury, one seventy six and
a touchdown, one ninety three, no touchdown, two interceptions against
the Browns, and then last week one fifty three. He
has a fifty seven percent completion percentage since coming back
from injury.
Speaker 3: He really hasn't been good. They're winning, but getn't been great.
Speaker 8: So the first one that I saw is the one
I'm gonna pick because I actually like this one. Chicago's
at Philadelphia. Philadelphia is the favorite there.
Speaker 6: Okay by seven points.
Speaker 8: Oh wow, So I'm gonna go Bears plus seven.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I don't want to go full money line, but I
do think that the Bears actually pull that one out.
Speaker 6: Uh, pull that one off.
Speaker 3: There's been great and close games, great Layton games.
Speaker 2: To by the way, Uh listen to these Thanksgiving NFL
get in prices oh Packers Lions one hundred and ninety
two dollars in Detroit, Chiefs Cowboys two hundred and sixteen
dollars in AT and T Stadium, Bengals Ravens seventy five
dollars but still I guess not a cheap ticket. Bears
Eagles three hundred and fourteen dollars. My gosh, get in.
Speaker 6: Price for nosebleeds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like the worst seat in the house. That's
what is going to cost.
Speaker 3: You cold up in Philly. Two new things, my god.
Speaker 2: A couple of other get in prices, the egg Bowl
two hundred and sixteen dollars, Georgia Georgia Tech one hundred
and seventy five dollars, Texas A and M and Texas
three hundred and thirty two dollars, Arizona Arizona State one
hundred and fifty two dollars, Ohio State and Michigan two
hundred and eighty five dollars. So, man, if you're going
to enjoy three hundred and thirty seven dollars for the
Iron Bowl as well, So if you're going to enjoy
some football, you're ready to pay. All right, we love you,
we appreciate you, Happy Thanksgiving, and we'll see you next week.
Speaker 1: Off the bench.
