Speaker 1: I'll start to what you want to present. Off the
bench with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert. Yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah, Off the bench with Jacob Hester and T
Bob aber.
Speaker 2: I got to come off the pitch.
Speaker 1: Now here's Jacob Hester and T Bob aber.
Speaker 2: What's going on? Ya? Welcome in.
Speaker 3: Another hour about TV and it's Thursday at eight am,
which means we catch up with the head coach of
your top five LSU softball program, and that is coach
Beth Terina.
Speaker 2: Coach. What's going on? How you doing here on this Thursday?
Speaker 4: Doing good? Doing good? I'm holding on to something for you, guys.
You wanted pray tell I should I should have stopped
by this morning?
Speaker 3: Oh the six Psychedelic Softball shirts.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I should have stopped in this morning.
Speaker 3: Let's get oh, let's go hell yeah, well how about this.
Speaker 2: We'll meet on your time. You know, we'll find you.
Speaker 3: You don't need to find us, we'll find you given
your impossibly busy schedule. Thank you so much. So I'm
very excited for that. Yes, for you going to Grateful
Dead next Thursday. It actually might be Ah, I think
that might be the shirt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it might be.
Speaker 4: Well send a person.
Speaker 2: I wish we had a runner. We don't have a runner.
Speaker 3: So LSU Softball, massive series coming up. Great win last night,
first off, great series win last week. We'll get in
all of it. Massive series coming up this weekend, traveling
to College Station. It's number three A and M because
number five LSU again going to be just a just
a big, big time matchup. But before we get there,
let's look back.
Speaker 2: Coach.
Speaker 3: Taking two of three off of Alabama, another series win.
You now have an SEC best thirteen wins against ranked opponents.
How'd you feel about your team coming out last weekend?
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course we wanted to get the one on Sunday.
Hate that we let that one slip away, But always
go to win a series in the SEC, especially against
the ranked team, and especially I've learned this as LSU coach.
Do you want to keep the Tiger fans happy you
beat alabamm that's what you did?
Speaker 2: Yeah, straight up, straight up the touch in Florida.
Speaker 5: But that's another conversation I want to I didn't want
to lead, see, and I didn't want to lead with
the Sunday thing, right because I know that that kind
of sticks in your crawl.
Speaker 3: But like at the end of the day, it's still
a very good series win, mission accomplished there. I know
that you said after the game that, look, I went
to church, So it wasn't that. But have you identified
maybe where some of the perceived Sunday struggles have come from?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't love how I managed the pitching staff
on Sunday. I think we have a better plan moving forward.
So I didn't even have sid Barzon in the game,
you know, trying to get her a little bit of
rest there, and you know she's feeling fine, so there
really probably was no need for it, no better plan
moving forward. We got some thoughts and ideas in our pocket,
and we're going to get that Sunday game win here
coming up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but coaching still, like, I know you're right, like
the Sunday thing, you certainly want to get figured out.
But the thing that I've talked with you about all
season long is just the bounce back after a loss.
That's what's been so impressive. And you know, these midweek
games aren't easy. I hope that everyone understands that there's
a lot of really good softball teams throughout the state
of Louisiana. As you well know, and so Louisiana Tech
and McNeice and UL, all these teams that you're playing
in the midweek, your team's bouncing back every single time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I agree with you. We were talking about
it last night, how many great softball programs are in
the state of Louisiana. Another really well coached, well prepared
group last night with Louisiana Tech, who you know, has
beaten an Auburn, Oklahoma State like they beat youlll the
night before, like they have some good wins on their resume.
So I think it was a really good win, a
really complete game by our team. It was nice to
see Tatum Clopton go the distance for us, which was
really cool. What a story she is, I mean, being
out for two years with a shoulder injury and just
getting better and better every time she takes the mound.
So a lot of really cool things I thought last night.
Speaker 3: Well, and Taylor during the commercial break was just talking
about Clopton. Does what does that do for your kind
of depth as a staff when when you're approaching these
these weekends series.
Speaker 2: Her continued emergence.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think that's part of Sunday right,
is being able to give people some different looks and
Vallejo coming on strong, heir late and Clopton, I think
we'll add to that. You know, it's so tough with
all the film and the things happening around our league
and around our country and our sport. I think meeting somebody,
you know, sid Bernon going out and as talented as
she is, getting somebody out eight nine, yeah, ten times
on a weekend is really really tough. So nice to
give her some help.
Speaker 5: So coach, as you go into I mean every time
we talked with you, another ranked series, and this one's
going to be on the road Texas A and M
number three team in the country, absolutely, Look, you're a
great softball team, you're number five.
Speaker 2: It's going to be an absolute battle.
Speaker 5: What are some of those small little margin things that
you can do when you're going on the road in
the sec like when you're putting your checklist together. I
guess with your coaching staff, Hey, on the road against
a team like this, we have to get this done.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think they're a really complete team.
You know, they have a good pitching staff and all
American pitcher left hand or for seventy miles an hour,
I mean we ever worked out for us, and then
a complete offense that runs well and swings for power.
So I mean a lot of things have to go
right for us. We've got to be well prepared. We've
got to have a good plan both offensively and on
the mound. And you know, we're working hard to do
that today and tomorrow, and you know, it just keeps
going here for us. We got them this weekend, Texas
is number one. The following weekend, Florida, who's been a
top five all year the following So, I mean, we've
got to be playing our best softball right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's kind of insane, coach, where it's like and and.
Speaker 3: Do you feel any of this, where like everybody's so
good that you're almost freed from the burden of over
hyping a series. You know, like this can't become something
bigger than it is because this is the thing that
you have to do every single week.
Speaker 2: Do y'all like feel any of that? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I like how you're saying that. I think I do.
I like how you're saying that. I think everybody wants
to show up though, and be super competitive and take
a series. And I think our team is so good
about not really caring about who's on the other side
and understanding that people have to play us, right, they
have to beat us this weekend, and I think our
team has done a great job of that all year.
So it'll be interesting to keep a young group going
throughout some Obviously there'll be some ups and downs right
over the next three weeks. Just keeping them strong, keeping
them going will be a huge part of it. But
helping we're playing great softball and they won't be ready
for the Tigers well, And that's.
Speaker 2: The other thing.
Speaker 3: It's so often we're guilty of not talking about the
fact that, yes, they have to play us as well.
And you look, this is an LSU team right now,
number two in the country with a three sixty two
team bat average, number one in the country with a
four to sixty nine on base percentage, eight starters hitting
over three forty. Danika Coffee's up at four forty seven.
Tory Edwards is hitting four forty with fourteen homers fifty
seven ribbies. The staff is third with a sub two
t ERA, third lowest opponent batting average. So make no mistake,
these Tigers as intimidating as anybody in the sec Uh,
what are the specific.
Speaker 4: I bring you around and you just say these things
my head, I'm like, man, who could beat the tiger?
Speaker 6: It is?
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's important to kind of put
that perspective back out there as we kind of preview
these series now. Obviously, anytime you have to go on
the road, that's an added degree of difficulty in your
exp parents. What are kind of the unique challenges of
hitting the road in a big series like this.
Speaker 4: Well, it's definitely a tough place to play. You know,
their crowd is loud, they have all like the tiers
in Unison, of all the things over there, right, it's
one of the toughest places to play for sure. And
then I know there's been a lot of buzz. We
swept them here last year, so it's something that they've
like got circled on there as well. They had a
lot of trouble with Sid burd'm s got all three
wins last year in the series, so I mean they've
had this one circled on there on their calendar for
a bit. So we're gonna have to do a good
job of just being ourselves in the beginning and then
maybe having the few tricks up our sleeve as well.
Speaker 5: Coach, I don't say this to freak you out, and
you already know this information, so I'm just repeating it
to you. But coming up on the schedule, it is
in the RPI, you know, number one, number three, number six,
and number eight to finish the season.
Speaker 2: Now l Sho's number four.
Speaker 5: So, like T Bob said, I mean they should be,
you know, circling you as well. But like, when you
have a stretch like this, do you mention it to
your team? Even though every single weekend? Like Tbive said,
I mean, you're facing a ranked opponent, but do you say, Hey,
here's the stretch, here's the series that, let's dig deep,
let's play championship softball. We're playing against teams that we
might play in the post. He's like, anything to kind
of point out who you have coming up, or you
just go series by series.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we've just got to play the next pitch. Like,
I know it's cliche, but I think if we really
try to like chew on this whole thing, we're gonna
be overwhelmed, right, Like, I think we have to play
the next pitch, and then I think the big thing
for us as a coaching staff is like, if we
have an opportunity to win some of these games late,
if we're in a game late, we need to be
cut throat and like make sure we get that win, right. No,
stay in anything for the next day. There is really
like no tomorrow and these. If you have an opportunity
to win one of these, you take it. So I
think that's as a coaching staff what we have to
keep in mind.
Speaker 3: Heck, yes, thank you so much, coach Beth Tarina. Massive
series coming up this week. Guy's gonna be so much
fun to watch the highest quality soft ball in the country.
Gonna be honest, play a college station this weekend. Six
pm on Friday, two pm on Saturday, one pm on Sunday. Coach,
thank you so much. Best of luck this weekend. You
and the girls go kick some mess.
Speaker 4: Not that one of these games is gonna go back,
but they do. I'm gonna call you for that hype again.
Speaker 2: Yes, let me know I got you. Just let me
know I got you.
Speaker 3: Coach, right right, Somebody in the jet says the T
stands for Terina hype man.
Speaker 2: Hell, yeah, there you are, call me Terina, Bob.
Speaker 6: I love it.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 2: All right, coach, thank you so much, coach the best.
Speaker 4: All right, okay, bye bye.
Speaker 2: Coach betterina legend again. I mean it is, Bob. It
is important to point out though, like like LSU is
awesome too, yeah.
Speaker 3: For sure, Like like I actually don't entirely know how
A and M's ranked above I know there well, I mean,
I guess it's because they are.
Speaker 2: Well, they're number one the RPI. Oh okay, okay, I
was gonna say.
Speaker 3: They're slightly ahead in in the I think they're one
win better in the SEC.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 5: So in the RPI, Texas A and M's number one,
you have them this weekend, Florida's number three, you have them,
in a couple of weeks, LSU's number four, Arkansas, who
you have here coming up, their number six, and then
another series you have coming up, Texas is number eight,
and all that's in the RPI, not in your your
top twenty five, but in your RPI Texas A and
M number one in the country.
Speaker 2: You know, again, at a certain point, it's like, Okay,
this is just it.
Speaker 3: You know, this is just it is what it is.
Can't don't can't don't get you high, don't get too low.
Just go out there and tell me yes.
Speaker 5: I'll just give you real quick out of the SEC
and softball. These teams in the top twenty five in
the RPI. A and M South Carolina, Florida, LSU, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Auburn,
Mississippi State, Alabama, Georgia and Old Miss all in the.
Speaker 2: Top twenty five in RPI.
Speaker 5: Actually top twenty three because Full of Miss comes in
twenty three, so the last one there.
Speaker 3: So this is a great weekend for watching with the homies. Right, No,

about the first time he's like meeting Kanye West and
Kanye's trying to sell.
Speaker 2: Him on this song and it's someone you want, some
moving gays, some lutha, you know that's.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, slow jams, I believe. And he's like, this
kid just like want of me is singing his way.
Jamie Fox like, wait a minute, you go tell me
how to sing this song. And he's like, so, you
know whatever, I just recorded it and did it his
way or whatever. And he's like, that song is gonna
tank anyway, he said. He said, then I went and
filmed a bad movie.
Speaker 2: I don't know what movie. It was, like, I filmed
a bad movie and I come back in that song's
number one. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It's a weird thing, Genie, isn't it?
Speaker 3: Because Kanye for a long time, yeah said certified genius
like the music. I mean, hell, even when he starts
doing fashion, he makes stuff that I was like, that
looks stupid. And then it's a billion, multi billion dollar empire.
But he seems to have lost it now but still
lost his fastball. Music's good though, or it was good.
I don't know has he put out any new music lately.
Speaker 6: It's not old Kanye. You know, it's not hitting on
graduation or you know, college dropout Kanye.
Speaker 2: But no, oh, any that.
Speaker 3: That's graduation in college. But that was I mean, that
was my Kanye that I grew up on. We used
to listen to everyday, carpooling to and fro from from school.
Speaker 2: Simpler times, yeah, simpler times a lion. It's like the
thirtieth anniversary of the Goofy movie was yesterday, and man,
simpler times years ago happens. I mean, just like that.
It's kind of crazy how much I used to love
the Goofy movie, but how like it.
Speaker 3: It kind of like I never think about it when
I think about the Great Disney movies.
Speaker 2: I never put it in there.
Speaker 3: But like I remember in college, I used to get
really drunk and then bully the DJ into putting the
perfect the song from the Goofy movie and the power
Line song and doing the perfect cast dance on the
on the stage.
Speaker 6: Stand out you noticed me.
Speaker 5: On this day in nineteen ninety five, DVDs were introduced.
What on this day in nineteen ninety five, Coolio's Gangster's
Paradise was the top song of the year, and the
Macarino went viral. Also on this in nineteen ninety five,
Michael Jordan returned from retirement. Wow he retired this day,
ninety five. Okah, I about to say that. Okay, yeah,
you're turn from tire.
Speaker 6: So this is forty five Jordan.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, wow, yeah, so that actually does feel like
thirty years ago. Yeah, Like for me, I remember we
were on family vacation. I remember watching him come back
wearing the forty five.
Speaker 3: I was uh watching a clip from Space Jam the
other day, so I'd forgotten that. When he's going through
his baseball struggles, it's a very young gym roam on
the television braiding Michael Jordan. Really yeah, He's like, baseball back,
get this man a tennis racket, Come on, Mike, blah
blah blah. And it's like it's funny now because you see, oh, okay,
this was the beginnings of what we have now with
stephen A and and everything else. Like this truly was
the track being laid for where sports media is gonna go,
because like Michael's kids watching it, and Mike's like, yeah, true,
He's like what there's not anything else on the TV
or something like that, and it's like, well, you know,
and now you got Lebron out here talking about how
the sport is covered and that activity.
Speaker 2: Of blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: It's like, damn, this was kind of the uh start
the origins of that in a lot of ways.
Speaker 5: Uh this day in nineteen ninety five, New York City
bands smoking in all restaurants that seat thirty five or more.
Speaker 7: Damn y'all.
Speaker 2: Probably I remember walking into a restaurant smoking.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: I mean I barely remember.
Speaker 3: That makes sense, so maybe growing, you know a bit,
you might have been a little bit longer to adjust
because I barely remember.
Speaker 8: Like bad Ruge, I remember going like any any you know,
realist restaurant, ban Rouge. Yeah, And they would always ask
like smoking or non. And my mother like thought smoking
was like the biggest sin, so like guys, they would
be like smoking or She's like non, non, non, he
was not smoking.
Speaker 3: I just remember Mom used to go to whitle House
all the time and that always heads, which is funny
because waffle house is an intimate environment.
Speaker 2: So like the idea that there could be a non
smoking section in how many times over my mind.
Speaker 5: I can remember walking in smoking or non non the
way it's going to be thirty five minutes?
Speaker 2: How much for smoking? Really five minutes?
Speaker 8: I mean we were a family of I guess my
brother went around you, but like it was four of us. Like, yeah,
if it was a forty five minute way, we did
it once or twice.
Speaker 2: It's like anything.
Speaker 3: It's like anything else where, like doing too much of
it is awful. But it would be pretty surreal to
burn a dart at a dinner.
Speaker 2: I mean you had to your master's champions mill. Yeah,
I know, but we'd have to go out on the
rocking chairs. Yeah. I don't think we'd be allowed to
burn it inside finished cigarettes? Yeah, that is that's crazy
to me. I'm not going to conac in a cigarette.
Speaker 5: I mean it's even crazier to think that they used
to have ashtrays on airplanes you could smoke on you
smoke on airplanes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah, in that wild that's crazy for me. Flying,
I feel like you're not allowed to do fire on airplanes.
Speaker 6: No, just sitting near light up a dart right light.
Speaker 8: No, imagine going through security and they find like the
lighter and all diffuses you're like it's for my cigarettes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Avomar's waning, says three years ago, we went on
a trip back home and they asked us smoking or
non happiest day of my dad's life when you have
to smoke a cigar while eating.
Speaker 2: Hell, yeah, that's wow.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 6: I'm staring at twenty five in the face. Man, it's brutal.
Speaker 5: Shut you say twenty five, turn shut your ass, just
just don't. In less than a month, i'll be forty
years old. Yeah, so you need to shut up with
your brutal twenty five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's brutal, man, brutal. Enjoy this time.
Speaker 3: Mid twenties are some of the best awesome because you're
you're you know you, you you got a job, You're
hitting a little bit of a life rhythm. I feel
like you're learning some stuff but still have a lot
of freedom. Partying every weekend.
Speaker 2: It is insane.
Speaker 3: I feel like I spent my entire twenties in some
sort of pointless competition with myself about how drunk can
I get on Friday Saturday. I'm not doing that, but yeah, exactly,
that's why when you're trying to talk about drinking more
beer than me, Okay.
Speaker 2: That's stupid.
Speaker 6: Listen, man, I told you I was. I was finally
kind of sick that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're good. Okay, try me any day, Okay, I
stay ready. You don't want this.
Speaker 2: Competition? Yes, he's still on that.
Speaker 5: Look like if no, no, no, no, Jordan, there's nothing
you're gonna tell me. It's to make me believe that
you could do better than t Bob. If I if
I had like a beer Olympic team from the station
on a team, Bob's the first choice, and then I've
heard your festival, and then yeah, and.
Speaker 2: Then Matt, when's the second?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 2: Now, Matt, we Matten.
Speaker 3: We should maybe be first pick for skill at games
if it was like Olympics, if we were doing like
beer pong and stuff. But if we're just talking about volume,
that's what we need, both of you. Yeah, I'll take
I'll take exactly.
Speaker 6: I could be the anchor. I could be second.
Speaker 7: Jordan, you're not on the team.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. You're in there, Yes, you're
in Birmingham.
Speaker 9: You're Jordan's. You're not even first to alternate. You're you're
going to the dress list and you're looking for Jordan's.
I didn't make the I'm like my second I got
your coach nowhere to be found. Bro upon performance, Oh man,
throw me in to the water. I'm a swim not
and that's not a joke.
Speaker 6: I swear.
Speaker 2: I yes, I can swim.
Speaker 6: Throw me in the water. Throw yeah, I promise, throw
me swim.
Speaker 3: Matt says, but I don't know how you can party
in your middle late twenties and twenty six and I
can't hang anymore. If I'm not in bed by ten pm,
I'm struggling. That's probably for the best, Matt. Honestly, it's
for good. That's that's probably for the best.
Speaker 2: I think so.
Speaker 3: I think I had my first kid at like twenty eight,
and that was when I finally pumped the break twenty four.
I wouldn't have been ready for that.
Speaker 6: Oh, I swear, Jake, I can't even take care of myself.
Speaker 2: Bro. No, no, I'm not being ready for that.
Speaker 6: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: I know, I know, like I needed to.
Speaker 3: I needed to grow up a lot before I was
ready to finally have a kid. I guess you had
to grow up faster because you're in the NFL.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd already gotten a year like it was going
in my second year when we had Jackson, Like.
Speaker 3: There ain't no, there ain't no being a kid when
you're a working professional in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man no, man no, it's actually kind of funny.
Speaker 3: The NFL does a little bit of a weird Twilight
thing where it's like or an inverse thing where you
have to grow up faster immediately out of college. But
if you're one of those guys that plays like fifteen years,
then you sort of enter like a phase where you
kind of maybe don't.
Speaker 2: Have to grow up in some other ways because you
spend all your time in a in a reality that's
kind of different from like the average working life. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean, look at the NBA. These guys are coming
in eighteen, nineteen years old. Here a hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2: That's fun.
Speaker 6: I couldn't imagine being eighteen years old getting a twenty
million dollar contract roll.
Speaker 5: When I got my signing bonuses, public records. I don't care,
it's fine. It's like over eight hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 6: Socks socks.
Speaker 2: We were married, and we got married going into my
senior year, and my.
Speaker 5: Wife had to drop out of school and get a
job so we could pay rent because scholarship check only
covered five hundred dollars of it. Our rent was like
nine to fifty, so we were barely making half off
what my scholarship check was.
Speaker 2: So I went from that.
Speaker 5: To signing and getting eight hundred plus thousand dollars signing
bonus feeling that was in California. Maybe didn't go as far,
but it didn't matter. It mattered to like go somewhere
and to you know, have a good time and not
have to check the bank. Yeah, have to see how
much money you had in the account. Yeah, bashroom says God.
Imagine that Piccadilly meal, No exactly elite.
Speaker 2: Come on, I don't know about that Piccadillies.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 2: That's jakes.
Speaker 6: Oh man, oh come from the same same cloth. I
love man growing you just love Sundayday still, Grandma baby.
The Piccadillies, Man, I get that chopped beef macaroni and
or casel flat of Pinnahan feeling that day. Oh, bro,
that's that's that's what a jello. The jello at the end,
but you gotta get at the beginning. Yeah, but then
you eat it at Yeah, I'm eating it in the
line as I'm going down, but.
Speaker 2: Not so do my kids.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm bad about that too, kind of maybe
snagging a bite while you're creating the plate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what are you gonna do? You know, I'm
not touching anybody's food. It's my fisite, not a big deal.
I'll tell a man what to do with is jello.
Speaker 3: James is about to be thirty, my daughter's twelve. That'd
be tough, man. Good on you, Good on you eighteen.
I can't imagine having kid at eighteen. No, it's gonna
just rock at you in the maturity.
Speaker 2: God I was I'm still in age on eighteen.
Speaker 3: Nacho says, chili ain't chili without the cigarette ashes. I
don't think I've ever had ash chili, but I do
know that that's a thing that people do. I don't know, man,
that's even kind of a step too far from me. Like,
I wonder how much that actually affects the things. Maybe
it does, maybe it does.
Speaker 2: See.
Speaker 6: I find it's funny about this show dynamic is that
this is what they want you all to talk about,
But the second you talk about the local sports, it's like,
what do y'all do about?
Speaker 2: Jordan? Are you normally on hunt show?
Speaker 6: Well, that's just I feel like, yeah, but I'm really
just yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Different dynamic, definitely different dynamic.
Speaker 6: I mean they are actually like talking about what they're
eating our piccadillies. But the second we talked about the
Pelicans get Jordan off the air man.
Speaker 2: It's just, you know, that's that's our show. That's the
Pelican's fault, that's their fault. It's also the Saint's fault.
It's all their fault.
Speaker 3: And honestly, this is a good thing. But L s
U Football is just a little drama free right now?
You know what's again?
Speaker 2: Good thing? That the what? Why? Why are you? Why
are you? Why are you squinting your eyes? There?
Speaker 7: To give you a topic?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 7: It would give you some some off season.
Speaker 2: There's no drama again again for a if.
Speaker 3: Yes, obviously, from a pure content perspective, drama plays well
for us. But as a fan of the program, no
drama is good.
Speaker 2: It means you've you've been a season?
Speaker 7: Yes, did y'all see?
Speaker 2: The Saints have had more players arrested since twenty twenty
than any other NFL team.
Speaker 6: What oh the Chiefs?
Speaker 2: The Chiefs got he's got six, Saints got seven? Hey,
I was a bit surprised there. I don't like the case.
Speaker 8: I'm just a little happy that the Saints are actually
doing something better than others.
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean you need to relax, mister Dallas Cowvin.
Speaker 7: What I'm saying, We're not even first than that T Bob,
We're first and nothing. I think the victory is even
get in life.
Speaker 2: But like what seven players got arrested, Like, I feel
like I haven't really like.
Speaker 8: Well, I though probably over what period of time. I
mean a Lotimore did a Lotimore did for the firearm.
Speaker 6: Thing, right, and when he was picking on the Mount
Carmel gir Marcus May did.
Speaker 2: What a bad signing that was? It was bad when
it happened, My boy, PJ.
Speaker 6: Williams, you got arrested for duy album.
Speaker 7: Kamara got Kamara got arrested.
Speaker 6: Oh whoa, I forgot Yeah, knock somebody out.
Speaker 7: Remember everybody was like, oh, the Suspension's coming coming?
Speaker 2: Like that was crazy?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that's five right there.
Speaker 2: A k so likable that I did completely forgotten about that.
That's crazy yeh.
Speaker 6: And he got it on video and that's what I'm.
Speaker 8: Saying, you know, he he Oh yeah, Thomas, remember Michael
Thomas and throwing the brick at the bar whatever the podcast.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, okay, there's seven he did it when.
Speaker 6: He was like I'm a living for the Saints. He's like, Okay, buddy,
I never get that.
Speaker 2: Don't ever don't never be the Saints. Okay, Buddy, hands
behind your back? Do you know who I am?
Speaker 3: Energy's never played well. It doesn't play well publicly. It
also doesn't get you out of anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Uh really, if you're really that guy, then your name
takes care of it by itself, like like you know,
like the right people get talked to behind the scenes.
Speaker 2: You know, are you just taking the short term you're
gonna do? And then you're out there like, oh I'm sorry, sir. Right,
Like if if you say you're that guy, yeahs bad.
Speaker 6: Because Michael Jordan's son got caught with cocaine or something,
and he wrote he drove his Lamborghini onto the train
tracks and they got the body can footage?
Speaker 2: Wait wait wait wait wait what is this?
Speaker 6: So Michael Jordan's son, Marcus Jordan's got arrested like a
couple of months ago because he was got caught with cocaine. Uh,
I guess a stripper. He drove, Yeah, he drove. He
drove his Lamborghini onto the train tracks and the cop
was like, what's been going on here? And he tried
to pull you know, my dad is Michael.
Speaker 7: Jordan off the cop. I'm like, well, good, you can
afford this fun.
Speaker 5: You certainly don't go do you know who my dad is?
It's bad enough when you like, do you know who
I am? But when you hit him with it, do
you know who my dad? Your dad better be like
the president, yeah, exactly right, the governor.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But again, if he is, then you just shut
up and stay quiet, and then everything gets pulled behind
the scenes anyway and you get out exactly so, like, yeah,
if you're ever reaching like that, you're you're You're in trouble,
You're desperate, you're discerate.
Speaker 2: Jeez, but I.
Speaker 3: Gotta see this in the NFL's behalf. Not a lot
of arrests since twenty twenty, for whatever that's worth. Like,
if seven's leading the way six second place, there are
a lot of teams with zero they're born.
Speaker 6: I get those teams think, I know, guy's getting wresteds.
Speaker 3: Need a couple of I mean, just look at how
many games the Saints have won since twenty twenty.
Speaker 6: Hey, help me.
Speaker 2: Look, man, respect to Mason Tipton. You know you got there.
Speaker 6: You got Mason Tipton out there throwing it together.
Speaker 5: And at the time I told y'all Mason tipped, and
Mason Tipton even Nick he'd come on, Mason tipped, and
I'm like, yoh, this happens every camp. Hope nothing but
the best for the young man. But y'all, y'allre acting
like my guy's about to go out there and be Phoganakua?
Speaker 7: Who was the who is the receivers? I said it
was Butler?
Speaker 2: What was it? What was the name?
Speaker 8: A couple of years ago, everybody thought he was gonna
be like the next Saints, Like I expunged him from
he never played.
Speaker 5: Understood like we we would have one of those every
preseason whatever in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Every year.
Speaker 5: I'd be like, man, this guy came on, nobody undrafted guy,
nobody knew, and like there.
Speaker 6: Would be a big the cruise every nine.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, we had one in Denver. C. J. Anderson
played running back, ended up being pretty good a few thousand,
ended up being a good player.
Speaker 6: He was on a Super Bowl team, right, yeah, and.
Speaker 5: He ended up beating out money Ball, who they selected
in the second round. Like that happens, like you'll have
one of those. But man, every year it's like this
is about to tear the league up. In like week three,
you cut him because you need to sign a line
back there.
Speaker 3: All right, more TV when we get keep you lock
Jye Johnson coming up in nine am. Guys, munchies all
that as well. Keep it locked here on off the bench,
off the bench.
Speaker 7: Uh oh.
Speaker 3: Baseball going down this week and so far going down
this weekend.
Speaker 2: And you know what time it is, Jake, It's time
to go for dose with dose.
Speaker 3: Look at USA today'svesa.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter as long as it's do.
Speaker 3: Ski's okay, beautiful, stunningly beautiful weather right now. And when
you have weather this nice and the heat starts to
creep in, my god, when I tell you that's the
time that a delicious Mexican Dosequi's really starts to shine.
Speaker 2: The time is now.
Speaker 3: Spring has sprung, it's begun, and it's time for you
to go for dose. And guys, next time you get
your bottle, get you a little line loop up that neck.
Sprinkle some salt on it. Drop the line in the beer,
and you're gonna say thank you. Do Sekies go for dous.
Speaker 5: It is the perfect beer for anything you've got going on,
but certainly watching a little baseball, watching a little softball,
sitting outside with the fellas. Maybe you're going to the
beach for spring break, summer vacation coming up. There's not
a better beach beer than do sekis.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to more sports talk.
Speaker 1: What's some other stuff mixed in off the bench with
Hester and Ti Bob.
Speaker 2: The way you shake your things fancy you mean a
move shamming and y'all welcome back TV. Up in here
boat we go, but we go both fix the TV. Yeah,
come on, I don't care. In the segment up a
little bit has been known to slam into that TV. Yeah, ECT,
I forgot about that. I literally broke the original TV there,
just leaning back in the chair one day.
Speaker 8: Let me ask you, this was the original TV smaller.
Uh No, if they upgraded, like a thank you to
t bup would be in order. If they upgraded Church, I.
Speaker 2: Did it on purpose, exactly. All right, Let's see what
other topics we haven't gotten to today. I haven't given.
I haven't given Taylor anything LSU for the YouTube channel,
and this is our last chance to do so. So
let's hit on some stuff real quick here. Okay, I
I don't know if you have something ready to go.
Speaker 5: I do, but I'd be much more interested in what
you have said. All right, So we know that the
spring window is coming up in less than a week. Sure,
Transfer Portal ESPN dot com did put out a hey,
here's what some of the top teams across the country
need in this in this spring window.
Speaker 2: It still went deep intive tackle for LSU, and it well, you've.
Speaker 5: Added some you you go get a transfer from Texas,
you add to the high school ranks. You've got some
former highly highly ranked guys that are going into their
second year as well. You get Jacobe and Guillery back.
What it does feel like it is still a need
for LSU.
Speaker 3: I would say this, Uh, it is a need, but
maybe in a bit of a difference from last year.
It's less of a dire need because the position's kind
of in a disaster state and it's more of like, Okay,
LSU's roster is actually so complete everywhere else right now,
that it's maybe.
Speaker 2: Still the position you can most use.
Speaker 3: Additional help at but it's not in the in the
dire streets as it was last year. Like I think
partially this is a testament to what we talked about
yesterday where LU like, especially on offense, the too deep
is kind of insane, right And defensively you're starting to
like the eleven, but you do have some question marks.
Speaker 5: It's safety and d line that see those appear to
be the two spots. This is a position that's always
kind of hot in the streets. In the second portal window, yeah,
is defensive tackle not not even really, it's just defensive
tackle into your defensive lineman. So anybody that you identify,
you're going to have other teams that are fighting for
that player. And so I hate saying this about somebody,
but you're gonna have to overpay. And l she wasn't
willing to do that last year. They weren't. They went
into the season and said, look, we are not doing it.
Speaker 2: I would say this though, all those guys that get paid,
did any of them end up being good? I mean,
Zaro from Miami had a pretty good year. It was
it wasn't game changing by any means. You had the
cat that went with the TCU to Oklahoma. Nothing. Just
a guy. He's a jag like I would be actually
pissed if el she was paying one of them a
million dollars for sure, for sure.
Speaker 5: And so they did their homework and they said the
juice isn't worth the squeeze. And Joepia has actually played
pretty well. You know one of the guys you got
out of the portal from a year ago, who.
Speaker 3: Was the guy from Grand Valley State that became quite
the third down pass rusher. Yeah, Javir Suck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did he hit the portal?
Speaker 6: Did he leave?
Speaker 3: Yeah? He left?
Speaker 5: So right now you get Mitchell from Texas, You've got
Washington as well. You pair that with as we said,
Gillory Don McKinley's going to be a starter. I would
be shocked if he's not. Is a my bro going
to be a every down starting defensive tackle. He's a
good player, but the size. Can he be somebody I
don't know? Can he be somebody that's effective? Absolutely, I'll
say this. I like his attitude for teamed up with
Kyle Williams, and Kyle knows him better than anybody who
knows him. This team in high school that's true. I
forgot about that.
Speaker 2: It's a different looking defensive line.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 5: You look at some of the guys you brought in,
Jack Pyburn, who's going to be your ultimate meathead on
a defense.
Speaker 2: It's full of meatheads term of endearment. We love that.
Speaker 5: What can gave Reyllaford give you? Can he give you
some flexibility a little bit?
Speaker 3: He should be poysed to take a pretty big step him,
Am McKinley with how they were playing last year.
Speaker 5: So you know ESPN dot Com kind of putting defensive
tackle out there. I do understand kind of what they're
looking at. I don't think it's a pressing need like
it was a year ago. When you look at this defense,
I would have said that the safety position would have
been somewhere.
Speaker 2: Maybe they looked before they looked at defensive tackle.
Speaker 5: Now, I'm not saying your defensive tackle room is the
best in the country by any means. I still think
it's got some growth that you have to do, and
maybe you do add a player. But I'm talking about
if we're looking at budget and you know, basically salary caps,
I think you go to the safety position because right now,
Spears and Rogers don't have a ton of snaps. Jordan
Gilbert does have a ton of snaps, but he's coming
back from surgery. Austin Osbury doesn't have a ton of snaps.
There's just there's not a lot of actual plays in
that room. Now you bring to Marcus Cooley over from
NC State, I think he slides in at the Nickels position.
So for me, if I'm writing this article, I'm saying
the safety position at both free and.
Speaker 3: Strong, and Toviano's in that group now, right, Yeah, And
they like Spears. They have what's the latest on Spears heard?
Speaker 2: I'm he was basically his agent less. Have you heard
any additional Spears hype.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean he's working with the ones a lot.
They like him.
Speaker 8: I like him because nobody else is that size. You know,
we talk about Toviano, but you know, he played corner
of the first year and a half he was here.
He played safety a little bit in high school, but
this is his first spring really working at safety at
least full time. I mean, he got to Marcus Cooley,
but I mean I think if anybody's primed to take
that spot next to him, it's the Shawn Spears.
Speaker 3: So again, I should mention this two guys, so everybody knows.
Saturday is the open practice that's taking place instead of
the spring game. Doors of the stadium open up. A
nine thirty am practice begins at ten thirty five. It's
expected to end about twelve thirty five. The new sort
of a pseudo scrimmage type deal. But after the practice,
there's going to be a thirty minute on field autograph
session brought to you by by you traditions.
Speaker 2: It's free. The clear bag policies in effect.
Speaker 3: So just know that if you're going uh and they'll
give you a commemorative poster that you can get signed,
or you're allowed to bring one item. But know this,
apparently you are only allowed to get one thing signed.
Now you get a bunch of signatures on it. So
even if you bring out him, you're gonna have to
decide between the poster and what you bring. Just so
everybody knows for Saturday how it's gonna go down.
Speaker 5: I wanna throw this one back to Taite because he's
obviously been locked on some of these practice reports as well.
Patrick Payton as somebody that we hadn't talked a lot
about Crewe. He's gonna have to be game changing, I
think for LSU because if you go Jack Piburn on
the other end, he's going to be your SAVI on Jones,
your heavy hands setting the edge, can you get to
the quarterback?
Speaker 2: I hope.
Speaker 5: So that's why he's here, That's why I tried why
he wanted to come from Florida to LSU. But if
you're moving Harroyl Perkins Junior to the star position, which
is where he needs to play day, Patrick Payton's gonna
have to have a big year for LSU.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I hate this saying, but I'm gonna use it. He's
literally built different than every other edge rusher you have.
I mean even Gabriel Rellaford can rush the passer. He's
kind of a bigger body. Pieburn came here because Florida
wouldn't let him rush the passer. Jamari Butler he could
do it a little bit like Patrick Payton's tall, he's lean,
Like if you have a third down pass rusher, it
has to be him.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 3: It is spring preview. Get excited for this heady scrimmage.
Go out if you want to get some autographs. Closing
hour two. Next off the bench, go to coolprohfac dot Com,
coolprohfac dot com, Cool Pro.
Speaker 2: At the cool guys and gaffs guys. And they're local.
Speaker 3: Okay, a lot of these htrack companies being bought up
by private equity. See if going around all over the country.
Speaker 2: Not a cool Pro.
Speaker 3: Okay, they're your neighbors. They're there to serve you. And
so why they do things like no dispatch fee when
you have him out to your home, So why not
call them, have him come look at your system, make
sure you're not, you know, running the risk of any
catastrophic breakdowns. And then as you work with him, maybe
think about joining the pro plan ninety nine dollars a
year and you get twenty four to seven monitoring, you
get priorities schedule to get one hour service windows.
Speaker 2: That's the convenient as hell.
Speaker 3: And again it's just one flat fee for the entire
three sixty five cool Pro HVAC dot Com.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no dispatch fee as well. I mean that is
just so big. They come and they fix the issue.
If you don't have an issue, right, you don't have
to worry about that situation. Two to five three five
zero four, three nine seven is the number schedule today.
Also cool Pro hvac dot com.
Speaker 1: How quickly will this segment leave the rails?
Speaker 2: It's off the bench with Hester and T bar.
Speaker 3: Koe, Tommys, g Eaux Tommies dot Com, Geaux.
Speaker 2: Tommies dot Com, Tommy's Windows Doors signing there for you, guys.
Trust the exterior home improvement experts over at Tommy's. When
you work with him, you'll see.
Speaker 3: The different It's clearly you'd hardy playing Ronald siding Woo
are binal windows any type of door? And remember, guys,
these are energy efficient options, meaning when you're trying to
keep your home cool in the summer, it cuts down
on your bills. So these are investments that pay for
themselves over time. And speaking of overtime, you like time
warranties as well. I mean, are you a kidney integrity,
dependable professional, the best efficient Tommy's Windows, doors and side
and winners of the Angie Super Service Award every single
year that they've been in existence.
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, shout out Ricky Collins. You'll see this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Fran Brown coming out and already naming Ricky Collins
the starting quarterback for Syracuse. Wow, I know the name
just caught on and we talked about it on snaps
for a little bit yesterday because Aaron was looking for
some great insight like is he good? And I was like,
I mean, I think, I don't know. I never heard
anything bad. The limited times which we saw me seemed
to do well. Uh, but I do think it's a
very timing why. It's a very good sign for him
that he would already have the you know, have the
head coach out there saying he's the guy. And the
quote was pretty impressive as well from Fran Brown, who
we all really liked.
Speaker 2: He's putting his high giene on the line too. Yeah.
Speaker 7: True, he's looking for a lot more showers no.
Speaker 2: Washington if you don't win.
Speaker 6: But this one I liked.
Speaker 3: He said he seems to be moving into the being
the leader of our football team. I'm liking what I'm seeing.
I think the players are behind him. Everyone's behind him,
so it seems like he's going to be our quarterback.
So Ricky Collins going in there and doing doing great stuff,
nice job asserting himself. Now, I think it's going to
be a high expectation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Colma courtse at that thing. H nine and three.
Colin McCord, did they finish ten? And three. Did they win, Yeah,
they won their ball game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's right, ten and three Colin mccurt So that's
a big shoes to fill. But I hope Ricky Collins
has great, uh success up there, and I want Syracuse
to be good. I think it was fun with them
last year, and fran Brown's cool.
Speaker 2: All right, We got Jay Johnson coming up next live
here on O TV.
Speaker 1: Off the Bench
