Speaker 1: We come on down.
Speaker 2: What are we? What?
Speaker 3: What with the fire with the JEZ got the inside?
Speaker 2: They take out the I'm going who made this a
I why?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Oh that's dark. It's like a dark turn. So we
didn't even this isn't even human produced.
Speaker 1: We put the like we told them, we put information
in the computer, and then the computer spit this out.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, we're gonna hear it again during break
to hear what they said.
Speaker 2: I could really hear what they said. We live in
the dark, dark dark times. I'm sorry you can't hear this.
You don't have all right, all right, well we'll dive
into whatever you just dropped on us out of no
way any genre like that. I feel like I just
got I need a blues version. Okay, it's nobody else
freaked so like nobody else is freaked out the fact
that the computer can just spit that out? No anymore? Okay,
whatever wessed? It's like concept art? Right, why do we
ever need concept artists anymore? Who cares?
Speaker 6: Yeah? I was gonna play it every hour I forgot
until just now.
Speaker 2: I mean, like that's great.
Speaker 7: Like if you're like, how many Super Bowl quarterbacks have
done this? And you can get the answer like in
like two seconds.
Speaker 2: That's true, It's great. Yeah, I guess I just have
to give myself over to.
Speaker 8: You kind of do you know how I was against
it and now I'm kind of like I sometimes, yeah,
I was really fun, that it was just dumb and
that part I don't like that.
Speaker 7: Well, instead of having to look up, you know, bringing
in Staley and his background as a coordinator and where
they finish, I just go to AI and I'm like, hey,
how do you do as a coordinator?
Speaker 2: And it's like boom, boom boom. You know. Okay, hold on,
so Doc, welcome to the show. Thank you very much.
Former l s U football player, early two thousand shout
out the Golden Age. Unlike many of us, did not
major in general studies. It's obviously gone on to be
a medical professional and invent something that is quite cool.
But real quick, here, what AI are you using for prep?
Speaker 9: Grock?
Speaker 7: Oh no, I just whatever, I just give it's the
Google one. Yeah, okay, I didn't in the name of it.
But just if you want to find a quick stat
I care what you're saying.
Speaker 2: You out, because the worst that AI is ever gonna
be is wherever it's at today.
Speaker 7: Right like whatever super Bowl factors I was trying to
find out, And.
Speaker 2: The more we lean into it, we're just going to
hyper accelerate that process. So we just need to get
so we're just giving ourselves over to it, spreading our
legs for AI. Well, like the New York Jets and
instead of Aaron Rodgers, it's artificial intelligence. Okay, they'd win
more games that way, probably, Okay, actually actually true. Okay,
I gotta shake that off. That freaked me out. All
of that.
Speaker 6: I don't mean a derail, but I wanted to play
it before.
Speaker 2: We got out of here. All right, So as I
said that, we have doctor Henry Barham here in studio
with us, former LSU tiger. But why we have him
on today is this little box right here. This is
Veno Taster, the science behind your sip. It's a discovery
kit and it says love the wines you drink. Doctor,
welcome to the show. Give us like a basic rundown
of what Veno Taster is or what it's seeking to accomplish.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so basically, I mean we study taste and smell.
Had some big projects during COVID and obviously COVID sort
of influenced a lot of people's understanding of taste and smell,
and so part of that was we figured out, like,
if we can measure taste receptors, what can you do
with it. And so this was kind of the first
offshoot of that project where we figured out what taste
receptors matter for the primary components and wine. And so
wine's made by grapes, but it's aged in barrels, and
so you have tannins which is kind of that bitterness,
and you have residual sugar after fermentation. So we basically
measured figured out how to measure the specific taste receptors
and then it matches wine specific for your taste profile.
Speaker 2: So what you're so like, even though it will feel
like opinion to me, it is physiological at the end
of the day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's measuring basically your phenotypic expression, which is like
your outward expression of your genes. So like your genes
for instance, like they say you have brown hair, Yeah,
by the time you're like start balding like me, or
it turns gray, it doesn't mean that your genes have changed,
but your phenotypic or outward expression. That that's what it's showing,
and so that's what this is measuring. So, like, you
taste these certain like litmus paper strips that are coated
in things that matter for the components of wine, and
so you enter them in the app and it calculates
your taste profile and then it matches wine varietals based
on your profile.
Speaker 2: So so in terms of you said phenotypic, is that
what you said? Yeah, big time, okay, So is that
why it? Like so you mentioned kind of going bald.
Is that like the same thing as how your taste
buds change every few years and like all of a sudden,
like I like pickles now, hated pickles my whole life,
freaking love pickles now. Don't know why it just happened.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're there. It certainly evolves throughout your life. You
have like kids who hate you know, vegetables and things,
and part of that is literally the genetics of it.
But then you also have kind of the influence of
receptors through life as they decrease with age, and so
you tend to like things later in life and like
more bitter products. And that's just an evolution of these
of these receptors.
Speaker 2: I actually love the kind of philosophical element of moving
away from saccharin things into just pure bitterness as we
get closer and closer to death every day. How appropriate.
Right as a kid, everything's rainbows and sunshine and candy
and everything's sweet, and as you get older, like, just
give me a bitter black coffee, Give means a bitter chocolate.
It's awesome.
Speaker 3: I mean, I know that, like taste is probably one
of like the nerdiest topics to be obsessed with, but
but it does it like totally defines us as humans.
I mean it's like no mammal would ever choose something bitter,
yet we like seek out black coffee because we have
this associated gain of mental clarity and energy. And said, like,
that's a hijack of the system that we have done
by humans, and that that's really what this does, is
it measures and then matches you or each of us specifically.
Speaker 2: Uh So, okay, so I've scanned the QR code and
I make an account right now. It's a discovery kit
name just but Veno Taster.
Speaker 3: Yeah, whatever you.
Speaker 2: Want, okay, cool, cool, cool, go ahead and get registered
and then we will get this process starting a little
bit very easy, guys, I mean I'm literally doing it live.
I probably should have done this fortunate off air, but
but still here we are. I mean, I'm already done.
Take a test? All right? What do you typically go towards? Te? Okay?
Right now? Yeah, I would say, And I don't know
much about what. I love wine. I love all alcohol, really,
I love the taste of it. I love how it
makes me feel. Maybe the only alcohol I don't really
enjoy is vodka. But uh, and I don't like white wine,
to be fair, I don't like much why too sweet?
I like, I mean, like anybody else. Thing the most
they drink is probably cab but then in mobile. Probably
one of my favorite bottles of wine ever was like
Argentinian red blend or something. But I don't really know much.
But I think I like Tannons because I love bitter stuff.
So I don't know. I guess what about you? I mean,
do you drink wine? If I do, it's gonna be
red for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so that's why I'm excited to do it. I
don't know, Alandra Tata, where do y'all typically fall?
Speaker 1: I usually go for white wine or champagne usually, but
I'll do like a dry like a Savvian.
Speaker 2: Blank Taylor does monster makele wine.
Speaker 5: If they did that, be all over it. This is
gonna be perfect for me. Victoria loves wine. I don't
at all, but I always try hers. So maybe if
I find one I.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, it says cheers. Yeah, I gotta get my
wife kids. You'd kill me if I don't. It's as cheers.
Get ready to take your first step into the world
of taste science. Uh so we will go ahead and
start there. Remove strip one place the strip and you're
talking for four to six seconds or until it's completely moistened. Hey, Now,
then remove and discard the U strip. Concentrate on the
taste you perceive and indicate the intensity. All right, Uh?
Maybe like allowed to like play some Callen Moore or something.
Speaker 6: I'll play a little a little something.
Speaker 2: Relax you can you can you could talk about using
yeah thank you southing, Yeah, thank you. Okay, here's the
here's the test strip, number one. Drop it, No, there's
does it matter which side? Not at all?
Speaker 7: Okay, So as you are putting this together, did you
kind of find that people that we're searching for? Okay,
Like I I know that I'm looking for one I
want to find one and they you know, honestly, you know,
got to their answer and now they're probably enjoying it
more because they know what they're looking for.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, great question. What we've kind of studied in this,
you know, through the data, is like what are the
expectations and what do we consider a success. What we've
seen is like, more than anything, it gives people confidence
to be able to walk into a store, because I mean,
y'all seen it the hard parties, Like you go into
a wine store and there's like ten thousand bottles and
you end up buying a label that looks cool that's
in your price point, and you hope you don't strike out.
Speaker 2: Okay, So this is fascinating off the bat because I
didn't taste anything. Yeah, just taste the paper. But that's
literally one of the options on here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no wrong answers and they're built in controls
and all of that.
Speaker 2: So I have so, so, what like other people taste
that same strip but will have a reaction?
Speaker 3: Well, I mean yeah, depending, I mean it depends on their.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like potentially possible. Did they taste the same strip?
And Okay, very interesting, move on to uh December two here.
How long did it take to develop this?
Speaker 3: Well, we had done it like during COVID, because we
had another project during COVID that measured like a different
group receptors for immunity and kind of predictive of your
outcome upper respiratory infections. And so once we had figured
out how to really measure that and tailor it for
each person, then we just figured out which ones mattered
for wine.
Speaker 2: Who had the love of wine?
Speaker 3: Though, Uh, it was just it's funny on surface, We're like, Oh,
wouldn't it be really cool to do it for wine,
And honestly it's probably the most intimidating industry to go
into because there's so much out there. Yeah, but we're
we're working on it now for like bourbon and beer
and coffee tea kind of offshoots of all of this.
Speaker 7: Oh wow, like that, Yeah, I mean that that would
be fascinating.
Speaker 2: Like all the sweet things sweetness and strip number two.
It was quite pleasant. Not a super intense sweetness, but sweetness. Nonetheless.
You know what, I hate hazel nut coffee Absolutely, hazel
nut coffee is awful, awful, It's so bad, dude. Hazel
Nut chocolate not bad. That's what I don't understand. Hazel
nut coffee is got awful. Who hurt you with hazel
nut coffee? I just I the cure egg in there.
I like threw one in there, not really paying attention.
Then I had to force myself because I'm a little
caffeine rat. M hm m hm. Oh something a little
bit for it, very strong and very better. M hm
do call of love it theom mmmmmmmm.
Speaker 6: That was very better. That was three?
Speaker 2: Ye? Sure better for you as well? Yeah? Anything anything one?
Did you get anything on one?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 6: I had nothing on one, and then I had like sweet.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, so I got nothing on one, sweetness on two?
Speaker 2: Nothing on three? Oh really?
Speaker 5: You got nothing for three? That was very bitter for
nothing on three?
Speaker 2: One of those.
Speaker 7: Immediately knew something. Maybe you're one of those weirdos. It
doesn't taste.
Speaker 2: Cilantro or whatever.
Speaker 6: I don't like cilantro?
Speaker 2: Are you even Mexican?
Speaker 6: Pull it? Pull the card?
Speaker 2: Pathetic card? How could you not like cilantro? It's literally
one of the best. That is better. I should have
been bumped up like an I would say, go back.
Speaker 7: I would say that your tongue is probably hey, now
something that's had so many chemicals on it from the
energy drinks.
Speaker 2: Maybe are you thinking about developing a tasting kit for
Monster energy drinks?
Speaker 5: Okay, I got I got bitter on that one on
the fourth or yeah, the f was very better.
Speaker 2: I did get I did get something on that.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 1: I'm seeing my results. Smooth Avenger, highly attuned and perceptive. Okay,
my recommendations a California merlow okay, and then a mescado okay.
Well that plays with what you said, yeah, late harvest
reesling again place with what you said.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it has links like ship it to your house?
Speaker 2: Oh oh wait, got wine?
Speaker 3: Why dot com?
Speaker 2: So really so like.
Speaker 3: It's meant to be that, Like you can stay at home,
It'll ship to your house. You take the test at home,
you click on it, it'll ship.
Speaker 2: Home into your house. All right. I am a savory crusader.
It's kind of a big deal. I contain multitudes. It
sounds like I'm a I'm like the demon from the Bible.
I am legion. I contain multitudes. You lead the charge
for all things savory and fruit forward. On the last part,
I thought it was Taylor, your senses are alert to
the presence of rush rough edges, and you favor smoothness
in both tastes and tannins. Look for wines with load
to moderate alcohol levels that's an upset, and varietals that
are dry to off dry from both warm and cool
climate regions. To be fair, I do. I don't always
know what I'm describing, but I do. I have always
preferred I think like drier, dryer reds. So I'm looking
like a perhaps a Washington merlou Russia, Russian River Valley,
Pino noir oh an Italian Barbara, Barbara? What is that
unoaked chardinay grenache at a French boofleet? Interesting? I'm very excited.
I am. I'm going to be at rouses from eleven
to one today, So I am going to hunt down.
I'm gonna go hunt them those selections. Yeah, and use
the gift card that he doesn't ever give me. So
you said, say so you said, you said, saving crusaders
kind of a big deal.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, they don't just give that out.
Speaker 1: Also, it's it doesn't matter what.
Speaker 2: To be honest, yours is a little immature. I think
mine speaks to a man who's kind of seen more
experience mimature ballance ambassador a ballot that you I mean, uh, yeah, man,
this was uh. I would definitely recommend that.
Speaker 7: That's very cool that you can order what it says
right there off off of the page.
Speaker 2: That's kind of a game changer. What is a barbaros?
That's not I've never even Yeah, that is cool. So yeah, yeah,
that's a good point, Jake. Right there, you click on
it and you're you're taken to a link by and
it's kind of all price points as well. This is
sick man.
Speaker 3: Thanks man, it's been It's really fun. It's fun from
a scientific standpoint to like be able to have something
that can use what.
Speaker 6: Were you do you remember, smooth Avenger what I'm on
the same level as a doctor.
Speaker 2: I know, upset I was hoping for. Uh.
Speaker 7: I mean honestly, like this is kind of like a
great like little date night val you and your partner
can like do it together and then you sit there
get away and then you can go order a bottle
and you know, each share whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then so and then I have a profile
here now so I can always okay, save your well doctor, Okay,
So I listened all this, I'm like, oh, my god,
I'm interested fun Valentine's get where where?
Speaker 7: Where?
Speaker 3: How do we get our hands on him? Website is
probably the easiest place. There are a couple of places
in town Maxwell's that carry it. But Vino taster dot com. Uh,
kind of a nice place of wine, vino and then taster.
So the receptors that we're measuring, or like t A
S one R and t.
Speaker 2: A S two R. Let's go, and it's Taylor t
A S t R, guys vn O v I n
O Taster t A S t R, dock Cup and.
Speaker 3: The little DNA sports crew.
Speaker 2: Yeah they're good pack Jane Man. Uh No, this is
really cool man, thank you so much. I'm very excited
to try my new wines. I'm glad to know myself
better after this. Vno Taster dot cop Ticke. It's like
it's like it's like your favorite movie, Jake, Oh wow, Tombstone. Okay,
I didn't know what is valk in vno vera pas
in wine? There is truth? Uh, and so why don't
you figure out what wine you love and whether or
not you truly love your wife and husband? Tonight on
Valentine's Say, Vino Taster Dot com dot Thank you so much, man,
Thank you great. I have another U three to one
graader here and hell yeah man, thank you so much.

the job.
Speaker 9: Freshmaners dot com Welcome in to the best morning sports
this show around off the Bench with Esther and t Bob.
Speaker 10: Check me for.
Speaker 6: Cause, change, oh my color for you.
Speaker 10: Check.
Speaker 4: I'll never be too much. I'm just allbody, you and
everything that you do. I don't really need to look
very much further. I don't want to have to.
Speaker 10: Go where you don't bottle.
Speaker 6: I don't hold it back. A can this passion inside you.
Speaker 4: Can't to run from myself and there's no man.
Speaker 2: But don't make me.
Speaker 11: I don't want.
Speaker 10: Anymore stand stand, don't walk away from me.
Speaker 2: I love you chat. I know we had our tip
earlier in the day, but I really do love you all.
Love everybody in this room right now, and uh love
this weekend we got coming up. Uh oh mar the
Tiger Tiva bless us with the Kellen talkie, right right,
It's time to get back to Kellen Moore. Sound uh
so okay?
Speaker 7: So like I said in your Bowl Alum shout out,
oh yeah, we have to revisit the Ai song thing
by the way in a little bit, not right now.
Speaker 2: Uh but okay. So I said after kell Moore won
the Super Bowl that regardless of how you felt about Kellen,
it was impossible not to emerge at the other side
feeling better about him, whether it was a good or bad.
You went up from your baseline, did the and we
actually ate it up ironically playing a lot of the
press conference. Did the conference move your baseline at all? Positive? Orgnaic? No,
Oh no, I mean it was. It was as basic
as basic can be.
Speaker 7: But yeah, you know that's that's more his personality, which
is fine. It's not really gonna as we said, like, yeah, sure,
I identify better with Dan Campbell and biting kneecaps. But
somebody like hunting Matt probably loved the good Keller Moore
fresh shave press conference where he said tremendous ninety seven times,
But it's kind of who he is.
Speaker 2: It's okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess I I'm
kind of with you. I also U again, like I
keep getting asked like I'm you know, I'm getting donuts
this morning. I'm getting asked like, oh, what do you know?
The same too higher And it's like, you know, I mean,
I I think, like I think, I like Kellen Moore,
but I don't like the roster and I don't think
the front office has done a very good job of
so like, what is kelln supposed to do? It's a
David Copperfield, this thing Sigfried and Roy just some now,
like just just just make magic out of it. I
don't That's what I kind of struggle with. Can can
you make this? Like? Can you just make this team
good because you're good when the players aren't and it's
aging and you haven't drafted, well, I don't know. I
find it very hard to get too bullish, not even
because of Kellen, but because of the kind of circumstantial
the circumstances surrounding the New Orleans Saints. Right now, when
we get back to baseball, take again, we talked baseball
the whole first hour. I mean, to be fair, we
haven't talked a lot about Chase Shores obviously, I mean
all the pitching, all the pigeons that I'm most excited
for it because that was what I was most worried about. Like,
if you're gonna tell me the LSU bats are gonna
beat up Perdue Fort Wayne, I'm gonna say, of course,
if the LSU bats struggle against Prdue Fort Wayne, I
don't care. I know they won't struggle, you know what
I'm saying. So like I'm kind of ability there now.
If LASU pitching struggles against Perdue Fort Wayne, that's gonna
concern me a little bit because last year that was
the Achilles heel of the team, the thing you thought
you had coming in that you ended up not having.
And so that's everything about my perspective this weekend is
on the mount and defensively, as we said, catcher, all
the new positions in the infield, the outfield, everybody are
who's like it is Mom, I'm gonna make it short.
Is Is Braswell, gonna be good at third? Tommy White
was fantastic get third last year, so consistently good all
year long, and then of course behind the dish. So
that's what I'm excited for or maybe what I'm worried
about and so excited to get some answers, but like, yeah,
if Elsie goes out there and wins like two, nothing,
I'm not gonna freak out about the bats. The bats
are gonna be great. You know that. It's Jay Johnson.
There's one thing Jay Johnson can do any given year
without a doubt, it's create a great lineup. And even
last year, as he told us, what was that Wednesday
last year, probably the year in which he felt like
he kind of struggled the most of that talking about
how he felt little, one dimensional right, that all they
really had was power, but they had to work so
hard to get to that power. And he feels like
they spend an off season trying to recruit correctly and
develop correctly to avoid going through that again.
Speaker 7: I know the thing about like Opening Day and stuff,
and you get so excited. And it's not just in
college baseball, it's in MLB as well. It's like it
is going to change and not even look remotely close
to the same, which is completely different than most sports
that we get. And baseball is a sure sport and
it is it is a game where you have to
deal with failure and when you have that failure, how
do you respond to that failure? And so the good
thing about LSU baseball is we're trying to figure out
where everyone is going to play because there's so many
people we think can play.
Speaker 2: So that is a good thing.
Speaker 7: If somebody, for whatever reason, because it is going to happen,
I can almost speak in absolute is somebody will struggle
that we're expecting to go out there and play well, well,
the good thing is you have multiple candidates to be
able to go in and be that person that potentially
could take that spot. And we started talking a lot
about the Saints. Obviously an hour one, they don't have
the luxury of that with their roster. True, you know,
so this is a roster that you feel really good
about now. In the arms, maybe not as deep as
the bats, but within the lineup, you have multiple options. Look,
if for whatever reason, milem doesn't work out it short well,
and you know what Braswell can do there, he did
it a year ago. If Dickerson doesn't work out at second, well,
Milon Cane, you know what he did. So you have
other options. Other guys are stepping up, trying to play
new positions. Which I think is great. But like even
in the outfield, like you've got multiple options and multiple.
Speaker 2: Good players fighting for time in right field. Remember at
an obit day we were at, we witnessed what Will
Helmer's on third? Yeah started the season. Is that the
same day that Paul Schemes was starting for Air Force? Yeah?
I think so right. And we were sitting there like
your day is Moose always this loud a baseball games
or because it's COVID. Yeah, that to Moose was a
part of OTV, and and uh we we ended up
going to a group of team it was like right
after it was it was during COVID or right after,
so it was kind of an empty ball.
Speaker 7: It was the first game since COVID because they canceled
the season before. Man my god, he really stuck. I
mean yelling at coaches for Mountain visits against the I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, you hate the troops.
Speaker 7: That's the real one, right, I mean yelling like what
do you gotta say to him?
Speaker 2: Just bulla h damn Moose.
Speaker 1: One thing I will say is like we're all very
very excited to see what Chase Shores is going to do,
but I would be prepared to be slightly.
Speaker 6: Taken aback or like not even disappointed, but like.
Speaker 2: You're just you're just girding your loins against You're you're
trying to let your expectations get too high. Yeah, You're
you're you're pre girding yourself against pain.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And also like if you read Hunts stuff on Louisiana
Sports Net, like the scrimmages haven't been the best.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they've been hidden this yeah recently or all fall
in spring because Jay told us that what the bats
finally started to come the last weeks late and started
touch them up a little bit, which is the kind
of rhythm that he wants to see because you generally
have a problem if the bats are just touching it,
touching them up all year long.
Speaker 1: But I guess I am trying to save myself from
like another Thatcher Herd situation, or like he did so
great in the postseason in twenty twenty three and then
last year we were very excited to see him come
back and.
Speaker 6: It didn't pan out the way that we wanted it to.
Speaker 7: And it's kind of like that you hurt me. Yeah,
well played, That is kind of like what I'm talking about.
It basically is tough. Yeah, you have to deal with failure,
and you have to know that it's coming. It's coming
for everybody because you can be the best baseball player
in the world and you're going to struggle. Like if
you bat four hundred, you still failed more than you
were successful. Yeah, like Pok's right, and so you have
to So you have to deal with that. And I
think that's such a large portion of the game. And
and how do you respond to that? So like that
you heard, well he came out, got touched up and
couldn't really ever get back into that groove like somebody
like Gauge Jump. It was a couple of times you
got a little you know, wild, and but he came back,
he found yeah, and he became better than ever. And
so it's all going to depend on on that. And
so there's players that we're excited about, and you've heard
me mention guys like Jake Brown and Ashen in the outfield, Well,
they they probably at some point will have some struggles, right,
even though they finished really well last year. Well, how
did they respond to those struggles? And it's one of
the great mind games of baseball. It's why it makes
you know the game so interesting is because more than
any sport, you're going to have more failure in baseball
than I think you have anywhere else. And it's how
that's a portion of you, know, you being the player
that you are, is how do you deal with that?
Speaker 2: How do you respond?
Speaker 7: How do you make the like very much in your
adjustment to be able to go out there and be successful.
Speaker 2: I think that's what are we gonna fall in love with?
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I was just gonna say, I think that's
why I love baseball and like softball so much. It's
it's such a mental sport, and it is like there's
so many games, you know what, fifty six games in
a regular season in college, one hundred and something in
the MLB. Like you're gonna have moments where you're not
at your best.
Speaker 6: It just is what it is. So I'm not saying
he's gonna do bad.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, we're very we're hyping him up
a lot and well deserved, but I just don't want to,
like now go into it super hype and then be like, oh,
it's not like what I expected.
Speaker 2: T power rates is a very good point, though LSU
did go five hundred in their scrimmages and kind of
like the SEC and basketball.
Speaker 5: We were let's talk about that before the show. Well,
so it was Carl, but then he got trolled by
the coaches. Now, so he said, oh, well, you know
there's no there's no dominant him in the SEC, like
since twenty fourteen, they're eighty two and eighty two against
each other. But he's like, well, yeah, there's got to
be a winner and a loser in se seeing it.
Speaker 2: Mark Pope, Uh, Mark Poe. It was Mark Folk. Mark.
Mark Pope was electric in spring meetings, Like I was
so down. Let's see how he got the job. Yeah,
I was like down, like, man, he's been okay by you.
Speaker 7: And maybe because I was a Gonzaga fan I saw
him beat Gonzaga, but he was like his personality.
Speaker 2: I get why fans were excited about him.
Speaker 7: And he's doing a good job. I mean the big
win against Tennessee the other day. There, he's got a
comedic side to him and he can, you know, give
give someone a hard time.
Speaker 2: That's like did you say that out loud? I mean
I would have fallen prey to it.
Speaker 7: Like when you get a producer note like that and
you're in the middle of a broadcast. Yeah, it's like
ron Burgheney at that point, I don't say it.
Speaker 2: Jamie says, where's rivers? Mm hmmm. On the rate of
starkfll you're missing a week of work being said going
