our egg rolls this morning. Yeah, I'm gonna get my
my high that.
Speaker 2: It's the only time I can get it because one
doesn't bring it in here. Not running a charity, Boddy,
you know that. You tell me all the time. Uh yeah,
technical difficulties issues. I don't know what he what we
call this. So I didn't want to rat him out.
Speaker 6: When I had to go to Rouse his last Friday
with Flynn, he got banned. He was taking too much
food from the hot bar. So that's actually the issue.
No more eggs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it probably actually has some truth to it. Yeah,
but no, we had some technical difficulties with the old comrades,
and so we are here in studio.
Speaker 2: It's okay, you know, that's great.
Speaker 5: A lot of time studio and we're starting to get
a you know, Fridays started to get a little monotonous.
So the last two fridays keeping us on our toes.
Last week we wake up and you're puking your guts out.
This week, I'm headed to Rouses.
Speaker 2: They're like, no, no, no, no, no, go to the studio.
We can't connect.
Speaker 5: So we're here, we're on radio, we got microphones and everything,
so I don't know.
Speaker 2: Hopefully we can get it figured out. But big shout
out to Rouses.
Speaker 5: Yeah, whenever we're giving Rouses a lot of shout outs today, Yeah,
we will whenever.
Speaker 2: You know, in the world.
Speaker 4: I'm getting dressed and I see a group message that's
not our group message, and I see you say something
like we say, holy moly moly. I was like, oh God,
what I miss? What happened at l SHU? That was
my first initial thought. A group text as people I
work with, not the normal group tax what happened.
Speaker 5: At LSU countersuit to Brian hell when you said, holy moly.
So yeah, while we're here, we're in studio, HM, Thursday
night football, huh Wandri's back is back.
Speaker 7: I am back, but I selfishly am glad y'all didn't
have to go to Rouse's because kind of missed y'all.
Speaker 2: Did you miss you?
Speaker 8: Kind of missed y'all.
Speaker 2: How how was Nashville?
Speaker 8: It was good.
Speaker 7: I was telling Matt before the show started that Brittany
and I did the classic mistake, the rookie mistake of
going too hard the first night you get there.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so the rest of it we were on the struggle.
Speaker 7: But it's like the first day that like we had
to be there at like six in the morning, Yeah,
be there thirteen hours.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 7: We were on three hours of sleep and we were struggling time.
It sounded really good at the time.
Speaker 5: You don't do that, are you even like excited to
go right? Like it's I know people say it's a
rookie mistake, but like, are you even trying?
Speaker 2: If you don't do that, you gotta go hard that
first day.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And you know, Brittany was usually when we go
to Nashville, she brings the baby and she brings Kendall,
her husband with her, but they weren't there this time,
so we were we were gonna, we were.
Speaker 2: Gonna party, no bolling chain.
Speaker 8: So yeah, it was good.
Speaker 7: It was exhausting, but we're back and we're gonna power
through today and then rest on the wall.
Speaker 2: What was the most fun thing y'all did?
Speaker 7: It's always so there's always a pre party the night
before the Cmas and that this one label puts it on.
And that's the whole reason why we wanted to go,
because we this pre party. We always have the most
fun of the night or of the whole trip during that.
So I would say it was that it was the
b MG pre party. So they always have like a
bunch of artists that go play, and it was Brantley
Gilbert that one. Uh what was it Wednesday night or no,
I guess Tuesday night. I don't know what day it is.
Speaker 4: Uh So during the day though, y'all are where.
Speaker 2: Like where's the main setup during your day?
Speaker 7: So it's in a church and it's on music row,
so like we're all the recording studios and everything are.
There's like a church, the Belmont Church, and we go
and we set up there and there's a bunch of
different radio stations that set up and so it's.
Speaker 4: Like SEC Media Yes, basically, yeah.
Speaker 8: It's like SEC Media Days but country music.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they just bring But I would say it's like
a little the way that the.
Speaker 8: They bring everybody through.
Speaker 7: Who's probably different because I feel like at SEC Media
Days you're kind of grabbing people.
Speaker 8: Or like at the super Bowl at least we.
Speaker 7: Were grabbing people, but here it's like their people bring
them to you.
Speaker 8: It's kind of like a cattle call.
Speaker 4: That's what they're supposed to do at SEC Media Day. Yeah,
it just never do right.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so it's endless.
Speaker 2: Okay, who who was the best interview?
Speaker 8: I don't know, so, like.
Speaker 7: I would say the most fun one is always like
earnest Or, Like we have a really good relationship with
Cody Johnson, so that one's always good.
Speaker 8: But my yeah, could he's great.
Speaker 7: My favorite though, because I've recently became a fan of
him within like the this past year and Brittany didn't
know who he was.
Speaker 8: But like Steven Wilson Junior, that one was my.
Speaker 7: Favorite because I love him and his voice.
Speaker 8: Yeah, great voice, super.
Speaker 7: Unique and like it was just that was that was.
Speaker 8: My favorite one.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, mm hmm.
Speaker 7: I was telling him that Pam till Is bailed on us.
Maybe it was Memphis, Yeah.
Speaker 2: It wasn't.
Speaker 8: Sorry, yeah, maybe it wasn't Memphis.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Memphis would have been there. Yeah, okay, maybe.
Speaker 2: It wasn't Memphis.
Speaker 5: Get out of Here song is not even good.
Speaker 4: Overrated Yeah, yeah, we only played because it said Memphis
in it.
Speaker 2: Overrated.
Speaker 8: I'm glad to be back, Glad to be with the crew.
Speaker 2: Nice guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that is a commitment to show up
on a Friday and hadn't been here all week, like
a lot of people.
Speaker 5: Just I'm very tired, ye, commitment to come to a
studio and do a show after after your work trip
and you're tired, and we should have been on.
Speaker 2: Remet right, Well, yeah it would have been. You know.
Speaker 5: No, Taylor is great, but the whole crew together a
lot more fun.
Speaker 8: True.
Speaker 2: I'm taking an extra day next week, so tell you
nothing another day.
Speaker 4: This guy loves a vacation, the vacation day hates to
see him coming.
Speaker 5: We're up here just like crawling into work every single day.
You and our guts up.
Speaker 6: But I was supposed to be back next Wednesday. And
I was like, no, we're gonna do Thursday.
Speaker 2: Wow, man, I see that need Thursday money lander.
Speaker 5: When you were in Nashville, were you checking the flight tracker?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 7: But people kept saying like, any'll make sure. Oh wait wait,
I've got that messed up. I have seen what you're
talking talking about. I thought you meant because the government
was shut down or whatever, because people kept telling people
kept telling us like, are you going to check your flight?
And we're like, now, we'll see what happens. But like,
because what am I going to do about it? You know,
like get on the plane and flight it myself. But yes,
I have seen the flight track or stuff. I love
the people that track flights, the lane plane, yeah.
Speaker 8: The lane plane.
Speaker 4: About the people that take Grady photos. That's certain people
are getting.
Speaker 2: That's crazy, hanging upside down.
Speaker 8: Too far from for even me.
Speaker 2: Like and conspiracy, I really do.
Speaker 8: I do, And I love some investigations.
Speaker 7: But to hide on right, to hide on on the
bushes at the airport if you are, if.
Speaker 5: You're filming it and then posting it yourself under your name,
why are you hiding?
Speaker 9: Question over here?
Speaker 6: I love the other day when everybody's like the sauts.
Why are they hitting the plane? I'm like, why do
they have to hide the plane? Ask yourself that that's yourself.
Why it has to be hidden in the hanger?
Speaker 2: Why don't they have name tags on I do?
Speaker 8: I do feel like there's so much smoke now.
Speaker 5: Though, yeah, there's a lot, there's It's super fun though
the amount of I've gotta.
Speaker 7: Oh that's the other sorry, that's the other thing. Everybody
that came up to us was like, so y'all getting lane?
Literally everyone, this is country music and they're everyone, So
y'all getting lane?
Speaker 8: Who y'all gonna get?
Speaker 2: For the co who just said yes to say? I
work at ESP radio, right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Brittye would be like askkar and I'm like, I
don't know anything, Like I really don't, but maybe.
Speaker 2: I got a DA yesterday.
Speaker 4: It's the same stats that every ninety seven people have
sent me about drink, like the same ones that it's
copy and paste.
Speaker 2: At this point. For sure, somebody got in the you know,
and this person.
Speaker 4: Was like, hey, with all due respect, could you please
stop all caps pushing drink.
Speaker 2: All the stats.
Speaker 4: I'm like, guys, I'm not sitting here, and like his agent,
I'm just telling you he's a candidate, and I'm kind
of like telling you what I think about what about it?
You know him as a coach, So it was just funny,
like how crazy we're getting at this point.
Speaker 5: That's a little weird. It's a little weird. It's the
hate for Drink is weird. Oh, you're about to get
you're about to get the stats and like and y'all
know that's coming from me. I don't even recognize Missouri
as being in the SEC. I make fun of them
at every chance I get. But you can't deny he's
done something in Missouri that is tough to do, which
is the ultra competitive in the SEC from a team
in Missouri spells a disease. It is, I don't know,
And like, well, we all love Blake Baker and we
know if Drink comes that he would you know, more
than likely. Keep all that intact. We're not like champion
and for him is like the number one pick. But
I'm just we're just making saying he's a good coach
and it could but those comments last week weren't great.
Speaker 2: I know he can't.
Speaker 5: He's not gonna be able to escape those and it
might have been I think I would like to think
it was probably just like some like throwaway comment or
like a realism comment. But like as a coach, you
can't just be like realistic. You gotta be like over
the top confident and cocky and arrogant and a little egotistical.
So I mean, like like Virgin when Verge came out
and said, like we we expect to be in the
playoffs every single year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do.
Speaker 5: That's the expectation and in reality that's not gonna happen probably,
but uh that's the and as a coach, you want
those unrealistic expectations.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So I don't know, can you run fast enough to
get away from those comments? That's the question.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I think we are where we'll see something.
Mm hmmm. I hate putting dates on it, but.
Speaker 7: Like today, no, yeah, I mean there's a press conference
later or I guess not a press conference.
Speaker 8: But the board supervisors.
Speaker 2: Is right, Keith Cord today too. I can tell you
that they didn't we said they didn't do every They
do it every day together. So it could be it's
a normal Friday.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to drag well, you know,
into December. I would think I would think you're going
to have something, you know, not this Monday, but next
after the final regular season game, after everything's kind of
laid out, played out.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna go well into December, do you.
Speaker 5: I hope not. I mean, they said there's no timeline.
They said they're going to do everything to get the
best coach. So if you believe the best coach is
going to the playoffs and that coach was being allowed
to coach in the playoffs, then I guess you wait.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmmmmmm.
Speaker 8: Interesting.
Speaker 4: Maybe it was Memphis all right? Uh a lot to
get to. Uh do my Josh Allen take?
Speaker 9: Mm hmm?
Speaker 2: What was the take?
Speaker 4: That he's for whatever reason, he's an alien, but he
like there's always just something that's missing. He has games
any short circuits. And that's why I was never ready
to give myself over to him being in the category
of the top three quarterback.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we should talk about that game because it was
a really good game. Did you watch any of it? Yeah,
you watch a little bit of it.
Speaker 2: First of all, the Texans uniforms fire. I love the reds.
They've changed the midfield logo to matchup, which.
Speaker 5: I yeah, I liked every coaches play that plays rocket
and look out, Texans are in this thing without CJ.
Speaker 2: Stroud.
Speaker 5: They got Davis Mills. Davis Mills just looking super average
but just winning games.
Speaker 4: I think three and oh now Greater Greater Atlanta.
Speaker 2: Christian High School? Right T Bobs High School? Right, David Mills. Yeah,
and then yes, Stanford David Smith.
Speaker 5: He only threw one hundred and fifty three yards, but
I mean, and he missed a lot of opportunities, especially
in the first half. But I decided to talk about
their offense because there the Bills offense was absolutely completely
outmatched by the Texans defense.
Speaker 2: Got seven sacks, eight sacks. Eight sacks, Yes, I missed one.
Speaker 5: It was it was on the final they did seven,
seventh and eighth sack were like within three or four
plays of each other.
Speaker 4: All right, we'll be back. We are live in studio.

Speaker 2: You know what I'll have to think about. I don't
think I'm out of anybody. I don't know.
Speaker 5: You've got a lot of hate in your heart, Yeah, Jerry, Jerry, I.
Speaker 2: Do, Yeah, But I mean I don't know.
Speaker 6: I'm trying to think of somebody that, like, I know,
you know what I mean that, Like I've came in
contact with Like, yeah, I hate Jerry Jones, let's not
get let's not get it twisted. But like he's ever
technically done anything to me personally except ruined my Cowboys fandom.
Speaker 5: But I mean, would your wife say the same thing,
Like you probably ruined a lot of a lot of
special nights, Jerry Jones, the cowboy losing Probably you know,
may have yelled at her a few times.
Speaker 2: I don't think yelled you sure, because the hand towels back?
Speaker 8: What is there still dishes in the scene. Ye, poor
Victoria catching straight?
Speaker 2: Just call the high school game, come home to this.
Speaker 11: You dropped the towel. Yeah, Cowboys, you dropped the ball too. Yeah,
I think you personally did something December. No wonder you're
screwing everything up.
Speaker 2: Just like Cowboys. Uh, it's good, it's good, good, clean fun. Yeah.
Maybe we'll have Jerry Jones. Yeah, I think so. Think
we will. I think we will. We'll put that up
right over here with our polaroids.
Speaker 5: Put the list up, freaking Pam.
Speaker 2: What's the what's the Texans record right now? Uh? Texans
are six and five?
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, are they the Carolina Panthers of the AFC?
They are, yeah, but I think they're a lot better
football team. Did you watch that defense flying around yesterday?
Speaker 2: Have you?
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean all jokes. Have you watched Carolina's
defense and the running games.
Speaker 2: It's really good.
Speaker 4: It's just both teams are limited at quarterback. That's all
the Saints that Texans. I know, everybody wants to hype
up the Texans d line.
Speaker 6: It's great. That defense is good at all levels. They
really have Singley, Kamari Lassiter, and Jalen Petrie all in
your secondary like they're they're good at every level.
Speaker 5: It's amazing when you can watch that defense play and
not really ever hit here. First team All Pro Derek Singley,
like hear his name being called good, They don't throw
at him, and just so many people are just making
plays everywhere. And his name is not Daniel right, Danielle, Yeah,
it's Hunter.
Speaker 2: What do you mean, huh spelled? It's just spelled daniel
Are you tell him that?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 8: We decided earlier he is.
Speaker 2: We decided he's he's showed muscles. Yeah, he's just all
for show. Those muscles all for show. Yeah.
Speaker 5: And so he's also like one of the years was
ever by the way, what years was helu?
Speaker 2: Hmmm twelve to fourteen? Yeah, something like that, Braine. Yeah.
So it was like it was in a string of
like time where I wasn't like real focused on LU.
Speaker 5: Did you learn today he went to LSU? No, I've
known he went to LSU. I just couldn't place him.
So yesterday during the game, I was like, hey, cause
I wanted to see him in his LSU uniform and
I was like, oh that guy twelve to a guy
with muscles? Yeah, I was like, I don't totally remember him.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was like, but I don't think he was
that good at LSU. Wasn't about four and a half
sacks in three years. I was like, I remember that muscle.
Now he's got potential like Hall of Fame numbers and
he's like double digit and no doubt, yeah at least those.
Speaker 6: To one hundred, right, I think so, because I think
he was at about ninety when the season.
Speaker 5: He had two two sacks last night, well, Anderson had
two and a half last night.
Speaker 2: They had eight total sacks.
Speaker 5: In my god, they were getting I mean, when you
make Josh Allen look that. I don't think I've ever
seen Josh Allen look that uncomfortable in a game.
Speaker 2: I don't think I have either. They were completely outmatched.
Speaker 6: He has one hundred, he's one hundred and ten ten sacks.
Speaker 2: That's like, that's that's gold jacket conversation. Yeah, that was.
He has eleven sacks this year in eleven games, and
he had how many four and a half and and
a half in his three year career? All right, it
was the deal I coached that.
Speaker 6: I mean, people were like, people were like calling him
a bust at L Shu. I mean I remember, like
Jamari Erasco was actually the better of the two defensive ends.
Speaker 5: And I didn't want to say that because he is true.
I have heard he's a great dude and he went
to L Shoe. But like when I looked at that
picture of him at LA, she was like, oh, that's
the dude with all the muscles. That wasn't very good.
That's why in my brain, that's the first thing that
came into my mind. And I don't even know if
that was right or not. And then I started looking
it up. It's like, oh, yeah, four and a half
sacks in three years.
Speaker 8: He has super long arms.
Speaker 2: He's phenomenal.
Speaker 4: He'd be one of those guys that I always struggle
with because like he just puts his hands on you
and his arms are so long. I'm just swimming trying
to find, yeah, anything to grab.
Speaker 8: What are you doing forget?
Speaker 5: You put this little charger into my phone? My computer
and it just died?
Speaker 2: Oh no, what are you gonna do? Yeah? I don't know,
just have to quit. I can't do anything. You can't
do chet GPT on a dead computer.
Speaker 8: But I know your phone.
Speaker 2: Now I can't look up the Neil Hunter stats?
Speaker 3: M was it?
Speaker 2: Didn't like that you pronounce it Danil? When he was here?
Speaker 8: That's pronounced why?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just never seen it?
Speaker 4: Why is Bilbo asking has to chat? Does Jake have
cosmetic surgery upgrades?
Speaker 2: Do you look different? Do I? I don't think so?
What are we looking at it?
Speaker 12: Here?
Speaker 2: Hang?
Speaker 8: You got to re up your botox?
Speaker 2: Is that a compliment? Feeling is a compliment? Yeah?
Speaker 5: No, no botox, no brotox, no brotox. If you live
life with joy in your heart just shows yeah.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 4: Although the idea that drinks coming just who was it?
At first? So our guy adoring does brotox.
Speaker 8: Right, that's that feels like a thing.
Speaker 2: But I remember, like.
Speaker 4: This is years like gosh, five years ago. I remember,

So yeah, like bro like it actually helps with migraines
though it does, right, it's like when we looked at ups,

Speaker 5: That was Mayonnaise though, right, I love mayonnaise. That was
one of my pregame songs.
Speaker 2: May Night.
Speaker 8: That entire album is great.
Speaker 2: It's so good.
Speaker 7: Stephen Wilson Junior to go back to him has a
great cover of Tonight Tonight by the Smell.
Speaker 10: Oh.
Speaker 2: I hadn't heard that one. He has, like a heard
a couple of his.
Speaker 4: Yeah, stand by Me, which I think is so good.
The song whoever sings it is like a top three
song of all time for me. Like, I think it's
incredibly written. I think it's perfect. Plays is played for
seventy years. But yeah, he's got one of the best covers.
So when you have a song like that is you know,
it's hard to kind of make it your own, but
he did.
Speaker 2: He did stand by Me.
Speaker 5: I could play that on my cello back in middle school.
Not a huge deal. No credit to myself. You played
the cello, Yeah you got hell?
Speaker 2: You got hell? Why is me being a little musical
and a little artistic.
Speaker 6: It was just funny because Jay goes, can you bring
us back? And I'm like that it's about to bring
us back via karaoke?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: What absolutely well, but it seems like so when I
hear that song, it brings back a lot of great memories.
Speaker 2: Jake.
Speaker 5: Before the Florida game in two thousand and seven, we
shared a one headset on an iPod. You had the
I had the right here, you had the left ear. Yeah, yeah,
you're right, and we were listening to mayonnaise. And guess
what we won? We won got us fired up. We
did that. We did because of mayonnaise. So when I
hear that song, I'm sorry if I want a little
little little sing with it. Which game, well, all of them,
but I remember I remember the Florida game.
Speaker 2: I think we were listening to it on the bus.
Speaker 5: M This is you know, before wireless, Yeah, way before before.
Speaker 2: I don't believe in wireless headphones anyway. This is your
workout without a wire your iPhone belt, club days. Yeah,
Jake told us about absolutely.
Speaker 4: Hey, every buddy, I've got an I phone. But yeah, peasants,
it's right here on my belt clip. I don't know
if I didn't, I didn't put the iPhone on a belt.
I thought it was the you're big belt clip.
Speaker 2: Guy, I'd see. I don't remember.
Speaker 5: I remember maybe having a belt clip for one of
my phones.
Speaker 2: I don't remember the iPhone though.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it helped you like do like a half tuck
on the shirt like you know a lot of the
frat gas and cars they do the front tuck.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Shirts, Yeah, they tucked the shirts right. Nobody thought you
were talking about anything else.
Speaker 2: Uh but oh all right, uh huh Taylor.
Speaker 6: Probably Frank said he's probable he had a great week
of practice. Soreness is down. He had to reiterate that
that the sons was down. But uh, yes, he said
his exact quote. I think with is probable. He had
a good week of practice. He's out there moving around.
He showed great progress. He's feeling the right way after practice.
He said, I don't know how much we'll use him
and in what capacity. Right now, I would say that
he is torch play.
Speaker 2: It's great to hear. It's great to hear.
Speaker 4: I know he's been fighting to get on the field,
but I've said that he couldn't get on the field
obviously had you know, an injury that was preventing that.
Because believe you me, he tried, He tried a couple
of weeks in a row to get on the field,
wasn't able to uh, you know, playing a couple of plays,
a couple of series whatever, you know, getting back in
the flow of things, because well, you're gonna need him
against Oklahoma for sure, if you want to win that
game with you know, the way Materier plays, it feels
like a big wit Weeks type game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, certainly, like you would love to get him in
the game this week just because you can do all
the working out you want when you're rehabbing and you're
trying to get back from an injury, but you just
you don't you don't ever use the muscles and you
don't use them like you do during a practice or
a game situation. So you'd like to get him out
there in a game situation at game speak, because he's
gonna have some soreness come through that and it'll it'll
help him the rehabilitation too, So as long as he
can go out there and play at a one hundred
percent at full speed, you know. And I was watching
it too, I was like, man, why would he come
back for you know, it's probably a lot of.
Speaker 2: People stopt why would he come back before Western Kentucky?
Speaker 5: Like, you know, he's he's been great for so long
and he's been injured, blah blah blah, Like you don't
want to jeopardize his longevity.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was.
Speaker 5: I remember I was listening to somebody talked yesterday about
Joe Burrow right now with the Bengals. He's kind of
going through the same thing at his he had his
turf toe and he's he's been out and he's doing
everything he can to get back, and people are like, well, whoa,
whoa Joe, Like this is like a long term deal,
but like you don't have to come, the season's gone.
Why would you come? Well, the announcer was like, yeah,
he's gonna play because he's a linebacker playing quarterback. Yeah,
And I think about that with with Weeks, he's the
linebacker playing linebacker. Like that's the mentality that he has
that he brings to the table is like, if my
body's healthy, Yeah, and there's a football game to be
played that my team is playing in.
Speaker 4: I'm playing in it, right, So it could be his
last game in Tiger Stadium. Yeah, I mean if he
decides to declare for the NFL Draft, now, I don't know.
I mean when you miss this much time, obviously, what's
gonna have a decision that he's got to make. But
could be potentially and so yeah, if you're well enough
to go out there, you're going to do it.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: I mean Western Kentucky's also eight and two, so you know,
I can just roll the helmets out there. We've seen
that before.
Speaker 2: Well you can't have you have you followed a lot
of Western Kentucky. I mean I know you got to.
Speaker 5: You got to follow more schools than most for your
you know, your your serious gig. You gotta kind of
cover everybody, like you don't have to give it to me.
Now you can kind of like prep yourself a little bit.
But do you have a good little rundown? If they're
who they played? What what?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 4: That's the things that is the thing that is unique
about their schedule this year because typically, like they would
have a ton of Power four games kind of leading
into the season. They didn't have that this year. So
I don't want to say that's the reason why they
are eight and two, right, don't. They're still a good
football team. But typically, like Western Kentucky is going to
play Kentucky, They're gonna play Tennessee early in the season.
But this year it was Sam Houston, it was North Alabama,
it was Toledo and Nevada in their I think their preseason.
Speaker 5: And what is their mascot Hilltopper, The Hilltopper? Yeah, isn't
it something like red Blob though?
Speaker 2: Yeah? But the Hilltop is that though?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 2: Grimace but red?
Speaker 6: Yeah, he looks like like a red skittle.
Speaker 8: I love the score graphics that they put out with him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they kind of played up a little bit. They
ham it up.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: They had helmets earlier this year that had him red
Blob on the helmet and like every position group had
like a different.
Speaker 2: Like stance on their helmet from the mascot. I like it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know what that is. It looks like
Grimace though McDonald's Grimace. It looks like that. They went
to the ascot's store, They're like, we're out of you know,
we're out of tigers, we're out of old dogs, we're out.
Speaker 2: Of this or that, like, but we.
Speaker 8: Got this in the Actually, I kind of love him.
Speaker 2: Somebody ordered it as a prank and we made it.
They didn't pick it up yet. It's yours if you
want it. They ordered a couple of years ago. I
do like it though first almost saw that. My mind
was blown. How I feel after Thanksgiving. That's how we
all look after his mouth so big.
Speaker 6: We took my little brother to the game and in
twenty fifteen, so he was probably, you know, twelve, and
he taps me on the shoulder and goes.
Speaker 2: What's that. It's like what He's like, look, what is
that over there?
Speaker 6: Because we were kind of about like where there away
cheerleaders were.
Speaker 2: I looked down there. I'm like, I was like, bro,
you got me. I'm like looking at it.
Speaker 5: I'm even trying to like think of something creative and
you know, slightly humorous to say about it.
Speaker 2: I just can't. I don't even know.
Speaker 8: He's just a blob.
Speaker 5: The top part of it is that kind of looks like
the the little.
Speaker 2: Evil toads on Mario.
Speaker 4: They are second, by the way, in Cusa Conference USA
behind Jacksonville State.
Speaker 2: Six and one in conference play eight and two overall.
Speaker 4: Had a couple of quarterbacks play, so that's why the
yards aren't their typical yards, because typically Western Kentucky has
like some of the top passing yards in the country.
They've had two quarterbacks play. That's why those numbers look
a little different.
Speaker 5: I hope LSU beats the hell out of the hill Hilltoppers,
beats the hill out of them.
Speaker 2: I hope that.
Speaker 5: I hope their defense flies around and looks like the
Texans defense yesterday. I hope they dominate physically, and they should.
This is all this is a saying. Of course, all
this stuff is going to happen, but you know, I
guess not so fast. My friend always hope Van Buren
goes out and throws for three hundred and fifty yards.
I hope he run for two hundred and fifty yards.
Just absolutely go out and beat the hill out of them. Yeah,
he's gonna be so proud of that one for the
rest of the week.
Speaker 2: Y'all. Just give him a courtesy laugh every time he
says it. Okay, it doesn't have to be courtesy. Bud
probably going to be all right. We'll take a break

You're listening to Off the Bench.
Speaker 5: He Love.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 4: Welcome back in OTV Live from the Raisey Kate Studio.
Also official nuss Smeyer gonna be out for this game.
Michael van Buren is going to get the start and
probably finished the regular season.
Speaker 2: I think we would all assume.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that means the old Red Shirt's gun yep,
mm hmm. I guess there was no choice on that,
like at some point because we were talking about beforehand.
It's like, well, like vam bur and his family, I
think have to be like give that the okay, but
you know, when you don't have any other scholarship quarterbacks, Yeah,
it kind of like takes that decision out of it. Yeah,
yeah too, Like I wonder how it feels about that. Well,
I mean it's the starter, yeah, and you're gonna end
up starting four games right shirt?
Speaker 4: Next year three games maybe because that's the ball I
don't know the ball game situation, but still.
Speaker 2: It is a it's a weird situation.
Speaker 5: It's like a different conversation like this day and age,
because like, all right, the season's kind of lost at
this point. I'm starting for game film, but I'm also
not getting that many starts and I'm losing another year
that I could be making money in this world of nil.
That's like said, like they have to wait. I mean
there's there's money ramifications on all these little decisions. And
you know how old is man bearing twenty Yeah, I
don't know. I'm guessing around twenty. Of course, he doesn't
probably have like that big of like peripheral to think
about those different repercussions.
Speaker 2: He just wants to play football.
Speaker 5: Right when you think about it as like if I'm
someone's father or close one or somebody that they you know,
you can give some advice to him.
Speaker 2: It's like, man, I don't know, man, like if you you.
Speaker 5: Were blowing a whole year that you could be you know,
there's quarterbacks out there making million dollars plus for a season.
So but he didn't think that. He's just like, yeah,
I got to play football Western Kentucky. Let's go big
red blob mascot. Yep, let's do it. Let's dice it up.
This offense is dynamic. Those are my thoughts.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I wouldn't go as far as saying dynamic.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was born like a little later on a
little thick there Yeah, anyway.
Speaker 2: I just liked those those decisions.
Speaker 5: I like, That's kind of what I thought about when
we were talking about it last week, was like, he's got.
Speaker 2: One more game to play in.
Speaker 5: He can do a bowl game, but he's got like
one more regular season, so though there's two opportunities left
for him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, and I don't.
Speaker 5: Know, he has to get the start against Oklahoma. Like
at this point, he's burning it for Western Kentucky. They
got to be telling that family there's no way nuts
is coming back for Oklahoma, right.
Speaker 2: Like it's yours. These are this is your keys the
rest of the way.
Speaker 5: Like, there's no way they're burning a year for him
just to play Western Kentucky is what I'm saying. And
they're gonna bring us back to start, right That's it's
not I mean I don't see that that would be
unfortunate for Van Buren.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in your quarterback room right now, it's just it's
not healthy.
Speaker 4: Uh like not even I'm talking about just the actual
like numbers of it. You got no smier obviously with
an injury Colin Hurley right now, personal.
Speaker 2: Issues not with the team.
Speaker 5: Mm hmmm, I mean you got you had Juwan Johnson
working there in the spring and some of the summer.
Speaker 4: But I mean he's a running back. Get a meal
Picarella who is a preferred walk on. But that's not
where you want to be, Like right now, it is playing.
Speaker 5: A Can you get a medical red shirt if everybody
else around you got hurt and you have to play?
Hadn't been done. Let's set the precedent everything probably probably
why anything, like they didn't want to play me. I
didn't want to play, but we couldn't play football if
I didn't play because everybody else was hurt around me.
Speaker 2: So can I get another red shirt? Hey?
Speaker 5: If I'm an attorney, I'm taking that on pro bono.
I means for free. Yeah mm hmm, casey, I was wondering. Yeah,
learned that on The Lincoln Lawyer the movie or the
TV show, TV show.
Speaker 2: Not Netflix.
Speaker 4: Yeah you know it's off the movie with Matthew McConaughey.
Yeah have you seen that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, very good, very nice.
Speaker 8: Well what was the PABA thing?
Speaker 10: Like?
Speaker 8: What did he see for?
Speaker 4: So he played in junior college and the junior college
isn't the NC double A.
Speaker 2: There's something different.
Speaker 4: So he's like, well, I haven't played four years within
the n C Double A.
Speaker 2: So I won't those years back. I mean it was,
i mean made himself a lot of money.
Speaker 8: I'm sure there's something.
Speaker 2: There's loopholes for everything. They're so afraid to get sued.
Speaker 4: They're terrified to get sued that they're like, ah, yeah, sure, yeah,
we'll allow that.
Speaker 2: We've never lied before, but we'll do it now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a did you want to see LSU finish
their season off with the receiver playing quarterback? Or did
you want me to go in there play? Because I
had to shout out John Trey. No, I'm talking about
like if I know, but if you're one plane now
whom playing?
Speaker 2: Well, no, but Elsha has actually had to do that
before when John Trey.
Speaker 8: Had to do it, and what happened with her, Well
there's three seconds.
Speaker 7: Never mind, I missed the Hurley stuff because I was
I don't know what happened to him.
Speaker 4: Not a lot of information out there, just kind of
personal situation, uh is what was said.
