Speaker 1: We come. Come on.
Speaker 2: This is bad to do this now because people are
gonna think that this is like the.
Speaker 3: Guys I know, but this is not. This is a
This is an awful AI song that alone your made
for I forgot. I forgot about this. I will say
this is play it one more time. I agree.
Speaker 2: And as awful as this sound is, her song is,
it is a little scary how kind of competent it is.
You know what I'm saying, Like, it is awful, But
if you went five years back in time, nobody would
ever guess a.
Speaker 3: Human didn't do this.
Speaker 2: That's very true, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, that's
that's I don't like that.
Speaker 3: Have you seen how good the deep bakes are getting lately?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like we are stepping into the unreality.
Speaker 3: Actually, I hope's not bad.
Speaker 4: Loved Jane After.
Speaker 2: Morning, the new host is going to be tea Bot. Yeah,
my robot son is taking over for me. Look he's
in the chatt he says. The ta bot body suit
is ready. Teabout taking over T Bob's role on O TV.
Speaker 3: Yes we have.
Speaker 2: I've actually been in talks with Elon Musk over the
past two years and have been creating a flesh robot
of myself that TeaBot will now inhabit.
Speaker 5: The good part is like, we don't know what the
real T Bob is still here in Chicago. We don't
know which one is you and which ones not?
Speaker 3: Are they still going to follow you? Uh like it's
not O t Bot, it's tea Bot. Yes, I've I've
been in I have been.
Speaker 2: In talks with my robot son and uh he plans
on on on coming with good.
Speaker 3: We need that he's not going to be the host
of the show. Jake Kester. Now that my day, last
day is say.
Speaker 2: Who is going to be the new co host of
Off the Bench with Jake Elandra Taylor and who?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so.
Speaker 6: You know, you really did do us a solid. You
gave us a heads up. You didn't just throw this
on us this week, and so I'm very grateful that
you gave us time, very very tough secret to keep though. Yeah,
like not even like like not even wanting to tell anybody,
but just trying to keep it media days and what else.
Playing I'm like, little what what are you talking about?
Speaker 3: So we have had time.
Speaker 6: There has been there's been a lot of names, there's
been a lot of names that we've thrown out there.
We've had a lot of meetings with a lot of
different people, but ultimately shout out to Guarantee because Guarantee
allowed me, Elandra and Taylor to basically name the next
co host of this show and too, you know, have
a lot of insight into what the show was going
to look like moving forward.
Speaker 3: We even talked about changing the name of the show.
Speaker 6: We went through a bunch of different names because we
wanted to respect t Bob and what t Bob built here.
But after a lot of discussion and you know, obviously
t Bob's blessing and everything, we decided to keep the
name of the show OTB off the Bench, and we're
going to allow the person that's going to be the
next co host of this show to tell you himself, Oh.
Speaker 7: What's up everybody, Let's go so so so excited to
announce that I'm officially going to be a part of
Team OTB OTB family. I'm no longer going to be
a guest that's parking in the visitor parking spot, going
to be there every single morning, Monday through Friday, seven
to ten, chopping it up with Jake, Elandra, Taylor, about sports, life, science,
God knows what this show is gonna even be about.
We're gonna figure it out together. Can't wait to get started,
t Bob. We love you. You are so talented. You're
meant for so many big things. We were not at
all try to recreate what you did. You are one
of one. Okay, so Jake and I, Elandra Taylor, we're
all gonna we're gonna create our own show, and we're
gonna bring entertainment. We're gonna bring sports talks, We're gonna
bring x's and o's and probably a lot of really
dumb takes.
Speaker 3: We're gonna figure.
Speaker 7: It out together, though, but whatever happens, I'm so excited.
I can't wait to see where this journey takes us.
Tea Bob, I can't wait to see where your journey
takes to you. We can't wait to watch. I love you, man,
I love everybody listening. I can't wait to get started.
And uh yeah, man, team O T b I can't wait.
And we're just gonna bring it all right you guys later.
Speaker 3: Let's go.
Speaker 2: Let's go, dude, du l Yes, and Chad's loving it.
Speaker 3: Chad is absolutely loving it.
Speaker 2: A lot of w's a lot of super pumped, a
lot of questions about whether or not he'll actually show
up all valid.
Speaker 3: L about to be solo three days a week.
Speaker 2: Trust me, nobody was more shocked than all of us.
When Matt was like actually into it.
Speaker 3: We're like like genuinely that, Okay, I've got to give
this story.
Speaker 6: I do have to give the story because again, like
we did, we threw a bunch of names out there
in the beginning of the process, and I'm not gonna
throw them out there, but there was a lot of
names that a lot of you would recognize, and like,
we're like, man, it's gonna be tough because Tea, Bob
and I've been doing this almost five years and we
got an easy, easy chemistry, like we show up to
work and it just did.
Speaker 3: It clicks.
Speaker 6: There's not a lot of heavy lifting that has to
go on. So we're throwing names out there and shout
out to a Landra because Alandra said what about Flynn
and I said.
Speaker 3: Lo l yeah, there's no chance.
Speaker 6: So one day he was here and I was following
him out and I had to talk to him about
something else, and I told him about T Bob and
I told him about t Bob.
Speaker 3: Going to barstool.
Speaker 6: Of course, he was incredibly happy for He's like, that
makes all the SENSEI I just texted him. It was
very kind, and I said, yeah, so you'll be here
five days a week now, right, like completely joking, No
way in hell he's going to do this.
Speaker 3: And he said, how much money you got? So sorry?
Speaker 2: I was like, we should do the graphic like we
were talking about the breakdown, bad would be announced higher.
Speaker 8: That's not what I put on the bottom.
Speaker 3: Of the barrel, you know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, Matt, Matt's done okay from self, But that's
if you know Matt, you know, that's like the first
question he was going to ask.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 6: So we started chopping it up and started talking about
all the great things with this job. And before I
could get back to my seed after like quickly going
to use the restroom or something to come back, he
had already talked to Lacey. He's like, hey, I called Lacey, Wow,
and I think I can actually make this work. And
so that's when I like, oh my gosh, this has
some real legs to it. Oh, this could be something
that actually happens. It still had a lot of doubt
in my mind. But the more and more we talk
about it, I'll tell you this, and it's gonna be
funny over the next couple of weeks because he already
had a lot of stuff played for my high in June,
so it's not really going to fully fully get started for.
Speaker 3: A little bit. But he's bought in. He is all in.
He is excited.
Speaker 6: He said, I promise I'll know all sixteen SEC coaches,
not just seven. He's going to dive into baseball, and
of course you're still going to get a little bit
of the chemistry and the goofiness and the sports ish
and the just chaos that we have here on OTB.
And it's the only person that could give us that.
So we're very, very very excited for that to join us.
Speaker 3: I have.
Speaker 2: So many goosebumps. See my body right now. Is could
not have been more perfect. Seeing everybody's reaction, I was
very nervous. You know what people were gonna say. Everybody
is hyped. I'm getting text chats going off. Hell, yes, dude,
and I agree. I agree. I think it's a I
think it's a perfect landing spot and it's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 3: And look, match is gonna.
Speaker 2: Be like I was where I didn't know any of
the SEC coaches until I started getting and then I
had to learn them because like I had to start
talking about him and yeah, you just do what your job,
you know makes you do.
Speaker 3: Basically, God, that's gonna be so good, dude.
Speaker 5: I remember House, it was texting me in a laundry,
you know about like because we we had talked about
like who we could you know, talk to and all that,
and maybe about two weeks ago, Hester goes guys like
flynd's of the goal line and the fall thought crossed
my head which goal line?
Speaker 2: Like there's two of them?
Speaker 3: Which goal line?
Speaker 5: But I'm not saying this to suck up to Mac
because he's not listening getting on a plane.
Speaker 2: You know, I told or Where a picture from barstool
Scottsdale last night. Okay, I said, we were just full
role reverse out here.
Speaker 3: What's going on? Yes? We uh? Did House even get
a look? No? No, we're not talking about that. Lot
of I hate change.
Speaker 5: Like if you listen to the show Wednesday, you know
that I have kind of taken this somewhat hard. But
you know I was talking to Victoria about it, like
the day you told us I was like, hey, look,
you can't tell anybody, but like, this is what's going
on at work, like it's going to be different. And
she goes, who's the one person that wouldn't make you mad?
And my answer was Matt Flynn. I was like, you know,
this is it's a perfect fit. I'm excited. I don't
know Launch was excited too. I mean, she can talk
more about it, but like, this is this is great,
this is great.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: No, I think whenever we were starting to talk about it,
I was like, hear me out. And this is probably
the first time I said hear me out. And Jake
was like, oh, okay, not a bad idea. But I
was like, I know this is a long shot, but
the only person I can think of is Matt Flynn
and ended up working out. Obviously we're all gonna yeah,
well he said, uh, Flynn was at the goal line.
I was like, can we do a little toush push,
like what are we doing? But I give it. Obviously
I'm gonna miss t Bob so much, but I'm very,
very excited for Matt to be joining us.
Speaker 6: I am not kidding, and I hope Bob doesn't think
I'm kidding. I'm making this man come on this show.
Speaker 4: Yeah he has to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, like you answers.
Speaker 2: I'm getting a lot of messages now I'm.
Speaker 3: Just going to actually start texting to look at it.
Speaker 2: Still, the saddest thing that's probably gonna happen today.
Speaker 3: Is going to be getting kicked out of the group chat.
We're gonna keep. Hey, we we talked. You don't have it.
Speaker 6: You don't have to say, sir, We're keeping yours that
you're in that we all have so much fun in
is gonna be off the bench. And the one that
Matt's a part of is O t B. I'm in
and I wrote eighteen greater than fifteen and now, so no,
we're gonna we're gonna have two. I know, typically when
somebody moves on from the show, we take them out
of the group chat.
Speaker 3: At whoever not doing that, can't do it to you.
You're staying in.
Speaker 6: Sorry, I'm sure you'll respond once every and you're gonna
and you're gonna have new group chats that you have
to be a part of me. We'll just have Yeah, yeah,
it's kind of what we do now. Chris asked if
I'm going to switch sides of the desk. So normally
when it's just me, like, I still sit here because
I like this seat.
Speaker 3: This is this is my seat.
Speaker 6: I am moving over there because of this god dang
air conditioner, this ACE event.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I will uh, I.
Speaker 6: Will move over there and make Flynn actually freeze his
you know what off, because I've done it for five years.
Speaker 3: We'll get to some of these.
Speaker 2: Other uh super chats a little bit later on, but
a couple of Flynn related here on a couple from
DJ Trauma Gaming. Yes, Flynn will kill the Saints, true,
he he will keep it way more. You know, he's
not gonna pump the sunshiner. Maybe look so optimistically as
I do. I'll say our number two. And Flynn is
still stuck in traffic.
Speaker 3: Sending the same picture that he's sent me for like
three years.
Speaker 6: Hey man, doing the fake honk thing, the ten twelve split, Like,
did you send me the same picture two weeks ago?

gonna a new picture. Absolutely, Slappy will still send the
same one.

the only downside. Congratulations. You might need to rethink this.
Y'all are now being cooked with.
Speaker 6: And I know somebody chats about say three because hester

Fridays we have done Champagne Shanians with rivers Shoey where
we drink champagne and have fun and kind of close
out the week just with nonsense and madness.
Speaker 3: And and rivers.
Speaker 2: Of course, very appropriate to be here as she was
a massive part of Off the Bench uh throughout, but
also like especially in the beginning producing the show, help
help help make the show back in the day, and
then went and did the Jordi Klada Show, just very
emotional time for everybody involved, and then eventually again found
her way back here on Fridays and now is helping
to run a part of the Louisiana Sports dot Net
and doing a great, great job with the website. They're
absolutely killing. If you're not going there every day, Ris,
what's up?
Speaker 4: In fact, go there right now.
Speaker 1: We have a press release out about Matt Flynn joining
the team, so go share that on social so everybody
knows to tune in for.
Speaker 4: Their first day. Rogers, I'm so happy for you the.

Speaker 2: Here's two weeks alone.
Speaker 3: One week have fun. Oh yeah, one week Taylor's got
to do. The other week.
Speaker 2: Well, don't worry, Taylor could do two weeks right now
if you told me how to, If you said, hey,
two weeks content.
Speaker 4: Got it. You could actually probably y'all could probably.
Speaker 3: Just leave right now, and we probably could.
Speaker 6: Flynn does have It's gonna be funny because it's gonna
like kind of everybody's like, is he gonna show up? Uh,
he does have vacations already planned in June, So June's gonna.
Speaker 3: Be a.
Speaker 8: Look.
Speaker 1: In Flynn's defense on this, I don't know, like whatever,
but that happens like summertime. Starting a job in the
summer is hard because you probably do already have such.
Speaker 3: In June.
Speaker 2: I've had to cancel multiple family trips just like I
can't show up to my new job and be like, hey,
I got to go on vacation. Well, yeah, it's a
bit different setting. I would say, it's a bit different
setting for sure.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm happy to be here, and I'm sad to
be here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get all my sad stuff out of the
way early so then we can just drink champagne and
have fun. But you know, Jake's mentioned this, You gave
us a lot of time to to acknowledge that this
was happening and to get ready.
Speaker 4: I have spent that time ignoring it.
Speaker 1: But what but what I also did was look back
through my phone over videos and pictures, and what I
realized is that on my phone, on other than my children,
Grant and Estelle, the other person that I have the
most videos and photos of are you.
Speaker 4: I basically have just.
Speaker 1: Been following you around documenting your life for the last
eight years.
Speaker 4: But what I thought would be fun is to put.
Speaker 1: Together some of my favorite clips from Champagne, Shenanigans and
just you know that I could find since I've been
here and put it together into a little clip.
Speaker 4: So Taylor has that, so we'll play that now.
Speaker 2: Crazy, how how emotional I think, But it's fantastically.
Speaker 3: Active and.
Speaker 4: Look, I was just thinking.
Speaker 1: I was just thinking that you're about to start talking
about it and I'm gonna start crying. And I was like,
what happens if I start crying on this podcast.
Speaker 4: Over the fed you need to go buy stud.
Speaker 3: The play an X But it's mucus. Yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 2: One of the original off of criticisms that she had
of my spots of my affinity for thong sandals.
Speaker 3: I love thong sandals. I think they are wonderful in
your toes. Yeah you're correct, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, he's an acolyte of Berkowitz. He is directly involved.
He might drink the blood of tiny children. Yeah, he
would not be surprised.
Speaker 1: Shocking could possibly be reopening the case.
Speaker 4: It's not looking good for Saving.
Speaker 3: You got to talk to Saving immediately. Capris are all
they exist in the middle ground.
Speaker 4: And seventh grade is a weird time.
Speaker 3: You know what actually like? Seventh grade is the caprice
of your lifetime.
Speaker 2: Whoa, no way a kid, congratulated, Welcome to the club. Hey, kindergarten,
no joke, library, tough to graduate from.
Speaker 3: Okay, you made it, good job, you got your license.
Let's go to So.
Speaker 1: I think LS is that girl or guy, whichever version
you're watching.
Speaker 4: It's just like a.
Speaker 3: Little too drugs.
Speaker 2: That's exactly what I was thinking, was lsu drug on
the first night embarrasses himself a little bit.
Speaker 3: I think they make the cut.
Speaker 4: No, they don't know, they don't get too drunk. But
then the next day they're like.
Speaker 3: Oh, they make the first cut because there's enough there
and they're like good looking and they seem a little fun.
Speaker 2: But they they just went to art and and then
they got a little slot.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, that actually scared me.
Speaker 3: Why every week.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's tough because it is Mark Buch and
I hate to trust him, but then it's also Zach Partnet.
Speaker 1: And so I want me to laugh at I think
that I was the only one to laugh and you
wanted me to laugh, like hear it? I heard.
Speaker 2: And the worst part is when you know, like you're
kind of talking to her, but you're just like one.
Speaker 3: Of many windows and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we all in multiple windows up, but you
know you're having like, oh man, this weather's crazy conversation
and your boys over there, like are we're talking a
I am this weekend and I'm sitting there.
Speaker 4: Are you going to the Yeah? I wasn't getting any long.
Speaker 3: I just won't know if you're going to the game

Speaker 8: You know?
Speaker 3: Have you ever seen Star Wars? Which ones? I'm not
too sure.
Speaker 2: Jackson Park, that's the first time you've done wait wait
wait wait, but.
Speaker 6: The first time he's used I've been waiting for him
to use Jackson Park.
Speaker 4: Last message about it?
Speaker 3: You better? How about this one that had just made
up five seconds ago?
Speaker 2: Lane sniffins Lane sniff and Jackson he's also had he
sniff it loves Jackson for he loves drink drink Eli

Speaker 3: Look at that. Yes, he's just cooking up right now, Tennessee. Yeah,

I see Jeff Mimmle my dog's no Tennessee video this year.
We're gonna hold off to the playoffs.
Speaker 2: He's gonna, We're gonna we're gonna chill out.
Speaker 4: Man on that map.
Speaker 3: Relax.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, yeah, exactly exactly. They're bringing a big bat
to bear this weekend. By the way, guys, Rivers literally
just turned the camera.
Speaker 3: On and said, do something.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know the same woman who decorated the
table with three market rocking everywhere listening to Bubba Starts
in Stark Fall.
Speaker 3: I actually Bubba Starks plays. Yeah, check it out ESPN Radio.
Back there, Eli, Manny, I know one thing about a
l Manny.
Speaker 1: It's my high school for football name told me he.
Speaker 9: Has a whole.
Speaker 3: Right now.
Speaker 2: If anybody's wondering, Oh my god, oh my god, Rivers,
thank you so much.
Speaker 1: Could have added a million videos to that I know,
and then I felt back to it. I was like,
I should include everybody, but then the video stort of
getting like twenty minutes long.
Speaker 4: I didn't know what to do. It was like, this
will just be the whole hour, just clips of the
T Bob.
Speaker 8: Oh.
Speaker 4: It was so good. But I also wrote this down.
I wanted to say this.
Speaker 1: I watched I watched the hour where you announced it,
and I saw everybody having a lot of trouble in
here with their words. So I wrote mine down. I
learned a lesson from everyone, and so I wanted to
read this to you and get it out of the way,
and then we can just drink champagne and have fun.
So T Bob we started off the bench just two
months apart. I joined the show on a whim, but
almost immediately I knew it was where I was meant
to be, and that is because of you. You welcomed
me so easily, like I'd always been there. And while
I'd like to think it was because of my work
ethic or producer instincts, I know deep down it's probably
because I laughed at every single one of your jokes loudly,
often relentlessly. There's so many old clips where I'm just
a faint laugh track behind the glass on the second
floor studio, But those lasts were real. Working with you
was and always has been genuinely fun. It's still wild
to me sometimes how life brought us here. Growing up,
I heard my dad talk about your dad, Bobby like
he was a living legend. My dad became a Saints
fan because of my great grandmother, Estelle, who adored your
dad and who my daughter is now named after. I
think if she were alive today and knew that T.
Bob Aber was one of my best friends, her brain
might malfunction. Life is really funny like that. You were
never just a coworker. You were someone who believed in me,
especially when I didn't believe in myself. You invited me
into spaces I didn't think I belonged in media days,
pro days, player and coach interviews until everyone else just
got used to me being there. You made space for
me in an industry that does not always make that easy.
You made it normal for me to be fully myself,
and everyone accepted that because you did.
Speaker 4: Over the years, we.
Speaker 1: Tried every weird segment in podcast idea under the side
Pelican sixty Real friends, wou'd you rather Wednesday? The post
show rip. Some hit and some flopped, most flopped, but
all of them where are hours? They were all hours?
Then came champagne Shenanigans. We drank champagne, We fought about
flip flops, we made some really bad tearless and we
laughed so much. Eventually we spopped the two bottles of champagne.
Although we're doing that today for coffee, not because we
got less fun, but because we are not unable to
evolve into reasonable adults. You welcomed me back to Off
the Off the Bench after I had kids, at a
time when I felt like I was falling apart, trying
to balance motherhood and my identity. I didn't know where
I fit anymore, but you reminded me that I still mattered,
that I was still me, and that I always had
a place here. I don't think you know how much
that meant to me to help me find my way again.
Speaker 4: You've been there on my.
Speaker 1: Birthdays and my kids birthdays, on days where I felt
like the world was too much, and on days where
everything felt just right. You're one of my favorite people
to travel with, even though your uneven legs mean we.
Speaker 4: Have to walk at half my seat, but you've taught
me to.
Speaker 1: Slow down, take it in, enjoy the moment. And while
we walk through places like Mobile or Nashville or Dallas,
we talk about dreams, kids, Roman empires, vampire lore, and
whatever nonsense our brains latch onto. We've spent so much
time together that some days it really does feel like
you're an extension of my own thoughts.
Speaker 4: And now you're leaving.
Speaker 1: I've avoided this moment, I've ignored it, tiptoed around it,
hoping that if I didn't say it out loud, it
wouldn't be real. But here we are, and the truth is,
I'm so proud of you, and I always have been,
because you are meant for a bigger stage, a wider audience,
and a life filled with even more creative chaos. You
have always made people laugh, think and feel a little
bit better about the world. That is what you do,
and now even more people get to experience it. So
as I watch you, Caitlin, Alice, Odie, and Bobby head
off into this next chapter, I'm going to be sad,
of course, but more than anything, going to be excited
for what's to come, because I know what the rest
of the world is about to find out.
Speaker 4: You are one of the great ones.
Speaker 1: And the good news is is you're really never gone,
You're just getting started.
Speaker 4: We'll be right here cheering you on always.
Speaker 3: Ah man.
Speaker 4: So that's all the sad stuff I have, and now
we can drink a champagne.
Speaker 3: Thank you, guys.
Speaker 1: I'm really gonna miss you, I really, I just it
was important to me to write that down because I
didn't want to get up here and start to ramble
and and.
Speaker 4: Forget something or miss But you have been a huge.
Speaker 1: Part of my life for almost a decade and talk
to you every day, and that doesn't mean that this
you leaving doesn't have to change that we will also
talk to you.
Speaker 4: So we're all proud of you and we can't wait
to see what you do.
Speaker 3: I love you, Rivs love you, Jake, love you, Landre.
I love you too, I really do, guys. So now
I'm just very very great again. It's it's I keep
telling people, it's a very weird contradictory.
Speaker 2: Experience because you know, you simultaneously kind of I did
about stuff, but then it's you know, you're you're leaving
a lot of bubbles behind like I mentioned, you know,
I I have like you know, my my, my whatever,
like all the all these different circles, but no circles
more important than than this one. And uh, you guy's
just been so so nice and uh and so encouraging
and it's like it's it's made me feel so uh good, overwhelming,
Like Landra the message you sent me and Taylor you
was Wednesday, Jake you when we were talking about it.
Speaker 3: I mean, y'all have.
Speaker 2: Just been I don't know, man, it's it's it's times
like this where I just like I've really really uh
just sit back and I thank God that I've been
blessed enough to have that, I've been blessed enough to
have people like y'all in my life and get to
know y'all, get to work with y'all, cause it is, uh,
it is, it is really, that's just really I don't know, it's.
Speaker 3: Just really kind.
Speaker 1: Well and I know that you were like, I want
to nail's this on Wednesday, not Monday, because you don't
want it to be drawn out and whatever, and I
was like, I think people want to celebrate you, but
I think it's because I don't even think you realize
how many people you have touched and affected, and it
was interesting. Last night I went to good girls night
out with a bunch of women I didn't even know.
I had like one friend there and she invited me
along and it was all her friends and I was sitting
there and one of them was.
Speaker 4: Like, oh, wow, wait, I know you. You're on the radio.
Speaker 1: You're like, my husband makes me watch, and well, i'll
shout him out later.
Speaker 9: I want to.
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I shout him out. But
she was like, my husband makes me listen. She was like,
Oh my gosh, t Bob's leaving.
Speaker 4: That's so sad. And so then me and like six
women that I don't even know are sitting there. We
talked about you for forty five minutes and one of
them had one of them listened she listened to you
because of her husband.
Speaker 1: But you know what one of the other women, Whitney,
who actually owns the children's shop in Electric Depot cool spot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a cool spot.
Speaker 1: She was she does work with Dreams Come True and
she was just talking about you as an MC for
those events and.
Speaker 3: How it's a great organization much.
Speaker 1: You affect, how much money they raise, Like she gave
you so much credit and and but so I was
just sitting there and I was like, how crazy. It's
like all these women who tea Bob's never met. I mean,
maybe the Whitney from Dreams Come True, but like, but otherwise,
all these women are just talking about how wonderful he
is and how much they're going to miss him. And
I'm just glad that that you are getting this out
for and so you can start to see in a
tangible way, like how much that you mean to people.
Speaker 2: It's been, Uh, it's been very validating, kind of overwhelming
in in in in that regard, and uh again, I'm
just very thankful.
Speaker 1: It's very kind goes and now your audience is gonna
be even wider. Yeah, people are gonna love you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see who knows. Yeah, exactly right about to
step into the cesspool of the internet.
Speaker 6: In many ways, I'm gonna have to be yelling at
people on Twitter that to be making fun of their
profile picture, but I'll do it.
Speaker 1: I'm just happy that that picture of you in Mississippi
state gear is going to see a wider audience.
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, Walker's already hitting me with it hard,
so so so we talked about the age of unreality
and how good deep fags are getting real. So all
I had to do yesterday I just tweeted this is
a I and everybody believes it. I'd seen nowadays. Nowadays
no one knows. They're like, okay, it's he didn't.
Speaker 3: Really he didn't.
Speaker 2: He really wasn't dumb enough to show up in full
Missiby state gear go tailgating all day in Starkville.
Speaker 3: In Missippi steak gear.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: That definitely did not happen.
Speaker 2: Definitely did not have my childhood hero Kevin Ma why
call me out on Twitter and basically call me a
loser saying I would never do any that.
Speaker 3: Definitely none of that ever happened.
Speaker 4: But hey, you overcame that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess so, Kevin. Jeez, dude, yeah yeah, yeah, Now, keV,
I'm just kidding. I still love Kevin.
Speaker 2: Why I'll never get when he signed a sixteen million,
four year contract back in the day showing that you.
Speaker 3: Get paid as a center man.
Speaker 2: Now, I signed for five hundred dollars, so I never did,
but you can get paid.
Speaker 6: I like this when every iteration of this show, when
someone leaves, we find out the day oh the fact
that we have days to digest this seems to make
it harder. T Bob Swan song hits you right in
the gut.
Speaker 3: We made t b Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 2: My plan was to tell y'all at the beginning of
today and then it was.
Speaker 3: Going to be over at win. No no chance.
Speaker 6: So no, you're right, y'all, there's no chance we could
do that in the end. You've been here too long,
mean too much to too many people. There's no way
we could be like, oh, yeah, I guess what, this
is te Bob's last show. So we did get Wednesday
out of you, and I'm glad we did because, like
Rivers said, and I agree, sometimes I don't think you
realize what you mean to so many people and how
good you are at this job, but also just talking
with people like you.
Speaker 3: And I did the lab school deal the Galla there.
Speaker 6: And we meet with these women and they're talking about
like t Bob is like so good at handling that
and listening to them and knowing exactly what they wanted
to get done.
Speaker 3: And then we go do the gallon. We raise more
money than they ever have.
Speaker 6: But it was because t Bob, like T Bob was
out there it's getting money, yelling at people, talking about,
you know, having a couple of cold pops after all time,
So things like that we wanted to like, I'm glad
we did because I'm glad that you got to experience
what we all get to experience when we go out
and talk about T Bob is the fact that so
many people do love you here in this city, this state.
Speaker 4: I mean, I can't walk anywhere with you. Everybody wants
to talk to you.
Speaker 1: Landra was talking about she was like, I didn't realize
how big of a deal TA Bob was until I
was in Vegas with him.
Speaker 3: There's never a spot to be with T Bob.
Speaker 4: People are gonna stop you. I can't get anywhere with
T Bob.
Speaker 5: If we all remember, like t Bob announced it, you know, Wednesday,
at the beginning of the hour, I cut that and
posted on Twitter. I've been kind of watching it. That
video has seventy seven thousand views. But t Bob, the
original post that was made, like the article that was
put out when you announced it, I've been following this
one too. It is at six hundred and forty four
thousand views. That's crazy, just on Twitter.
Speaker 4: So you broke our website.
Speaker 3: You broke the escorts that was I'm not going to
take cred of it that.
Speaker 1: You continue to break it. People are continuing to come back,
like every day. Our numbers have been high for the
last how mean days because.

Speaker 1: It on Friday, I said in that he told me
that I'll sit staying in his office.
Speaker 4: I said no, I don't think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and and then I was like, okay, Thursday, then
a laundry too, Like no, what about Wednesday?
Speaker 3: Perfect middle ground. I don't know, man, thank you.
Speaker 4: We don't have to do this sad stuff.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I know we'll get back to we
love you.
Speaker 4: I'm glad that everyone is getting to tell.
Speaker 5: If that's the case, we could just do the next
video coming back in. I was gonna wait till the
second to last segment, but we can. All right, we
can have a fun hour three.
Speaker 3: I have a gift for you, but I'm not giving

Speaker 6: That's gonna stay later on when we got something else playing,
because this already all right?

me with regular spots.
Speaker 12: All the best of you in the family.

Speaker 11: For the first time I walked in the door, you
gave me a hug. I mean you finished taking a
dump and he gave me a hug. But Like I said,
you inspire me. Still to this day, you inspire me.
We got to get back to our little case race.
You've been chicking it out on me running. We're gonna
set that in the past. Well in the future, you
can't say so. I'm gonna wish you and your family
well man on your next journey. You're still rooting for you, baby,
come back down whenever you want to. But you still
got a home with us. Man.
Speaker 3: Love you, bro Yo, T Bob.
Speaker 9: I am beyond proud of you, brother barstools, getting one
of the most talented, entertaining, and absolutely ridiculous humans. I
know I'll miss the daily chaos, the deep dive and
the star Wars and then pivoting into LSU football and
your ability to somehow be the smartest and most unpredictable
person in every room. Go crush it in Chicago, but
do not forget about us little people who still have
to wake up at five am.
Speaker 6: Right, We're still here. Anytime you want to call in,
We're going to answer that phone, my guy. Love you, brother,
T Bob.
Speaker 1: You have been more to me than just a coworker
or a co host.
Speaker 4: You've been my teammate. You've been my hype man. You
have been one of my very best friends. And I'm
going to miss the chaos. I'm going to miss the
champagne on Fridays.
Speaker 1: I'm going to miss walking around Mobile and Dallas, in
Atlanta wherever with you to deep dives. But most of all,
I'm going to miss you. So go make them laugh.
But remember we will always be here.
Speaker 12: Well t can you believe it? We convinced people for
nearly a decade that we hated each other. Love not
going to go that route here. I'm just going to
tell you how proud of you that I am. You
deserve every opportunity that's come your way. I would wish
you good luck, but you don't need it. You're going
to crush it. I know you're going to be great.
I'm fired up for you and for your family for
this new opportunity, and you know how much I love
this radio station for that.
Speaker 3: I am so grateful for all the effort that.
Speaker 12: You have put in everything you've given of yourself for
nearly a decade to make this place better, and you
leave it much better than it was when you got here.
Speaker 3: So sincerely thank you for that.
Speaker 12: We won't mention your first stint at guarantee.
Speaker 3: Well we already did. I love you and I'll always
be in your sharing section. To Bob.
Speaker 5: As hard as this is to believe, man, I can't
think of anything to say. It's probably the first time
that that's ever happened to me in well ever. Do
you hear that it's silence? Nobody's out there telling me
to shut up? You and I we've had this back
and forth Vander on the radio. That's probably the thing
I'm going to miss the most. Man, It's going to
be a big change. But I am super excited for you,
as sad as I am to see you leave. This
is an excellent opportunity for you. This is a perfect
fit for you. I'm really excited to see what you
can do. And I know that you know I've relayed
this to you over the past couple of weeks, just
the other day as a matter of fact, that you've
meant so much to me over the past few years.
You've been a mentor to me, a friend to me.
A lot of the opportunities that I have here a
guarantee is because of you. I come to you anytime
any self doubt sets and you have given me advice.
You've never steered me wrong, and I know that. Look
when I make that phone call to you, it'll probably
be pretty soon.
Speaker 3: You better answer the phone. I'll need some advice for
sure before too much longer.
Speaker 5: But look, I love you, man, I'm gonna miss you. Hell,
We're all gonna miss you. But obviously, good luck in Chicago, Bud.
Speaker 3: Thank you, guys. Let's just go to break again.
Speaker 2: Off the bench, Carl Dunn says the team. I'm cried
at my wedding twelve years ago.
Speaker 3: I did. It was a beautiful wedding. I got cried
almost tall weddings, a love wedding. I did.
Speaker 2: Rouse's, which I guess there's no better there's no better
way to know.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about this because I got to
talk about my friend John, because this job leaves you
such for sure interesting relationships. And I've been parked outside
of a Rouse's damn near weekly since twenty nineteen. And
there's a guy that parks carts there, John, And at first,
you know, we're hanging out, we're talking, and little did
I know that this, this this man would become legit
one of the better friends in my best friends in
my entire life, someone who I consider family. And so John,
I know we've been texting, I know we've talked about
the move and everything. I'm gonna keep going on longer
just so you can do it's over. But just know
I love you, man, and we're gonna stay in touch.
And if you ever see John, give him a shout out.
John's got an incredible quirk. He experiences pop culture thirty
five years before today's date, so for him, it is
May sixteenth, nineteen ninety and he will not watch or
listen to anything that has not come out until that moment,
even when something comes out in theaters and watch it
once and he won't watch it again until it's released
on VHS.
Speaker 3: So give him a shout out.
Speaker 2: And he can tell you so many interesting things about
what used to be what.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just he's the best.
Speaker 2: And thank you to ralsis because every week with some
of the most joy I've ever had, has been giving
out one hundred dollars gift cards to people.
Speaker 3: It just makes people's weekends.
Speaker 2: And I finally actually gave Jake one finally actually gave
Jake one of my all right word to be next from.
Speaker 10: The break where the sports talk gets real kind of
off the bench and with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 8: So wait, wait, wait, hang on, we're on. So like
it that there's something. I'm gonna just start talking because
we have a minute left and y'all are dealing with
like a champagne crisis.
Speaker 4: So like I hear it. Yeah it's fine, but we're bad.
Hello everyone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't even know like the clock, Like I
don't even know where we're at. How we're gonna make up.
So we have a minute. Oh we're good, Yeah, we're good.
Kind of made up for it. I didn't think there
was any chance that we have a moment.
Speaker 1: He spoke the champagne and excitement, and he's.
Speaker 4: Break all the equipment.
Speaker 6: Like Taylor said, the time, he spent the entire coffee
And there was a policeman who showed up with coffee
because he heard Ta Bob spoke his coffee and he
was so sad.
Speaker 2: I honestly, So if you want to show up with
that's the beauty. That's the beauty of the show in
this community. And just how kind everybody is that somebody
would do something like that is just I don't know,
Man's just indicative of what today is all about.
Speaker 1: I wanted to include the video of you and Jake
and you opening the course lighte and spilling it all
over the equipment, just to prove that you did actually
do it, but you are cussing throughout it, so it
was very difficult me.
Speaker 3: No, no way, you make that. No I don't. I'm right,
I'm not the right handed hand.
Speaker 13: I know that everybody was like, what wellsta bench, I
I spilled all over the live sheet?
Speaker 3: What are we a good one?
Speaker 2: Guys?
Speaker 3: Let me talk to you about boners one more.
Speaker 2: Time, okay, because I love him and I believe in him,
and I want us all to have him. Okay, So
if you're not getting boners anymore, it's time to get
him again by going to Goode.
Speaker 3: Would It's that easy.
Speaker 2: The problem is ed can be a vicious cycle, you know,
because it's not happening, and you get embarrassed, but you're
embarrassed to talk about it, so you don't do anything
about it.
Speaker 3: So what happens?
Speaker 2: Then it continues to not happen, and then you get
more embarrassed. Break the cycle, get hard, get boners with goodwoodmen, sexualnis,
you're good with dot com. You go your labs draw
it'll have your boners. It could be like maybe your
low T low energy whatever gonna comes by as plan
for you. Go to your goodwood dot com
