- 1:31Speaker 5: I.

- 1:37Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:37Speaker 4: I mean.
- 1:38Speaker 5: For extra large gloves?
- 1:39Speaker 4: Yeah. Who knows?
- 1:40Speaker 3: Maybe size is in.
- 1:41Speaker 4: A big and tall store, yeah.
- 1:42Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
- 1:43Speaker 2: What are we modeling?
- 1:46Speaker 4: Like for Hulk hands? Yeah, for Hulk hands.
- 1:49Speaker 2: You would be a really good hand model if we
- 1:51Speaker 2: were back in like caveman days and they were trying
- 1:54Speaker 2: to sell.
- 1:55Speaker 4: Me have large hands. You know that, not real money.
- 1:59Speaker 3: Something that like.
- 2:00Speaker 4: Me Jake.
- 2:01Speaker 3: If it fits me. We haven't done that in a while.
- 2:03Speaker 4: I'm Jake. Look at my hands.
- 2:13Speaker 7: Yeah, they were like, we were doing the poncho shoot.
- 2:14Speaker 7: They were like, Jake, can you put your hands down, please?
- 2:16Speaker 4: Put your hands down.
- 2:17Speaker 2: They're like, we actually don't need a hand shot.
- 2:19Speaker 4: Jake's like, I don't know what to do with my hand.
- 2:20Speaker 5: Rip the football differently because all we see is hand.
- 2:23Speaker 4: We'll Photoshop this.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Matt, can we actually get you to hold the football?
- 2:26Speaker 5: You have like the little baby nine-inch hands.
- 2:28Speaker 4: Can you hold this football for us? Thank you.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Jake, is that a Nerf ball?
- 2:36Speaker 4: It's a Christian blessing.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Let's get the Kangles next.
- 2:38Speaker 7: Let's get the Kangles next. Actually, get on the scale.
- 2:43Speaker 7: Get off scale. It's not a cankle.
- 2:49Speaker 4: We did it.
- 2:51Speaker 5: You should embrace it. It's science. You have the biggest
- 2:54Speaker 5: cankles in this room.
- 2:57Speaker 4: That is true. Again, not a cankle.
- 3:01Speaker 2: To the naked eye.
- 3:03Speaker 4: According to medical doctors. Okay? God.
- 3:10Speaker 7: And according to what ChatGP told me was the definition
- 3:12Speaker 7: of a kinkle.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Hey, so next time Doc's in, just pick it before.
- 3:14Speaker 3: You give him a nickname? Is this so kinkly to you?
- 3:16Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:17Speaker 2: ChatGT.
- 3:19Speaker 5: ChatGT.
- 3:21Speaker 2: You dropped a letter there.
- 3:22Speaker 4: You did. Gotta shorten it up. That's how close y'all are.
- 3:24Speaker 4: I ain't got time to say the whole thing.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:25Speaker 4: That's how close we are.
- 3:27Speaker 3: That's your pet name for him.
- 3:28Speaker 4: They know. What's up, ChatGT?
- 3:29Speaker 2: People on the internet call him Chat. They just call
- 3:33Speaker 2: him straight up Chat.
- 3:36Speaker 4: It's a good show. Good show.
- 3:40Speaker 5: It does feel good because we talked about all the
- 3:42Speaker 5: craziness of the SEC and LSU and NFL players and
- 3:49Speaker 5: all that.
- 3:50Speaker 4: And basketball players, NBA, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever. We talked
- 3:54Speaker 4: about it.
- 3:54Speaker 5: We wrote it down. For two days. Just tell us
- 3:57Speaker 5: what the roster is. And what the roster is is
- 4:00Speaker 5: what we'll report. Now, there's going to be probably other
- 4:02Speaker 5: shows that spend hours on it today.
- 4:06Speaker 4: We did yesterday.
- 4:07Speaker 5: I just won't boot to meet ball. And I got
- 4:09Speaker 5: so excited going to practice. Like, truly, I did. Like,
- 4:13Speaker 5: that's what I wanted to talk about more today. Like,
- 4:16Speaker 5: the actual on-the-field product of football.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Yep.
- 4:21Speaker 4: I enjoyed it.
- 4:21Speaker 7: We could go into it. We could talk more about it,
- 4:23Speaker 7: but we don't want to. We don't want to talk
- 4:26Speaker 7: about NFL players. I'm so tired of it.
- 4:28Speaker 4: I don't care. Like, we get it. College football, you're drunk.
- 4:31Speaker 4: You go do your thing. I don't really care.
- 4:33Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 4:33Speaker 4: I don't care.
- 4:34Speaker 7: I just can't wait for football. I just want them
- 4:37Speaker 7: to play football. I don't care who's on the roster.
- 4:38Speaker 7: I don't even care what the name says on the
- 4:40Speaker 7: back of the jersey.
- 4:41Speaker 2: I just want them to crush Clemson.
- 4:44Speaker 3: That's what I told you this morning. You were walking in.
- 4:46Speaker 3: I was like, Matt, how you doing? You were like, eh,
- 4:49Speaker 3: the back thing. And I was like, well, good news.
- 4:51Speaker 3: We can break down this SEC thing, and then we
- 4:53Speaker 3: can move on.
- 4:54Speaker 4: We can move on. And we just don't want to
- 4:55Speaker 4: talk about it anymore. Who cares what our feelings are
- 4:59Speaker 4: about anything?
- 5:01Speaker 5: No one.
- 5:01Speaker 7: Our feeling is we don't care. We just want to
- 5:04Speaker 7: watch football. We want to watch people hit each other
- 5:07Speaker 7: really hard. We want to see quarterback air that thing
- 5:10Speaker 7: out 60 yards in the air.
- 5:11Speaker 4: 60?
- 5:14Speaker 5: You've always told me that every go-route was completed at 48.
- 5:17Speaker 4: No, between 38 and 42 yards. I knew it was something.
- 5:21Speaker 7: Actually, if the ball travels over 45 yards in the air,
- 5:24Speaker 7: the percentage of a defensive back actually catching it for
- 5:28Speaker 7: an interception goes down to less than 5%. If the
- 5:32Speaker 7: ball travels over 45 yards in the air. Sweet spots,
- 5:34Speaker 7: 38 to 42. That's a five-step drop throwing a go route.
- 5:37Speaker 7: So every, like, most go routes you see, none of
- 5:40Speaker 7: them will be completed past over 42 yards down the field. Now,
- 5:43Speaker 7: if it's off, like, off schedule and you throw it
- 5:46Speaker 7: down the sideline, yeah, he'd get that. But a five-step drop,
- 5:48Speaker 7: even to the fastest guy, it's going.
- 5:49Speaker 4: To be hit at about 38 to 42 yards.
- 5:53Speaker 5: And in flag football, we're trying to hit that go
- 5:54Speaker 5: right about 13 to 15.
- 5:56Speaker 4: There you go. That'd be called a fade route, bud. No,
- 6:00Speaker 4: it's a go.
- 6:02Speaker 5: It's just about 13 to 15. You throw anything above that,
- 6:06Speaker 5: that thing's getting intercepted.
- 6:08Speaker 4: I can't wait. You're not even playing flag this year.
- 6:11Speaker 4: What do you mean you can't wait? I'm not talking
- 6:14Speaker 4: about flag.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Just normal football.
- 6:16Speaker 4: Football.
- 6:17Speaker 2: The National NFL Football League.
- 6:19Speaker 4: National NFL Football League. Football.
- 6:26Speaker 5: The amount of times that you say NFL football, and
- 6:28Speaker 5: it triggers.
- 6:29Speaker 4: Me every time. Why do you think I say it? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Alondra,
- 6:37Speaker 4: he says it.
- 6:38Speaker 7: NFL football would actually be the physical football, which.
- 6:43Speaker 2: He's about to spin some of this so hard.
- 6:48Speaker 7: The football that is played with in the NFL was
- 6:52Speaker 7: created by God. It is so, it's a beautiful football.
- 6:55Speaker 7: It is a fantastic football. And they have tried to
- 6:58Speaker 7: replicate it. And I know like Wilson makes it and
- 7:00Speaker 7: Wilson makes a, college ball that they say is the same.
- 7:04Speaker 7: And then they sell an NFL ball as well at
- 7:06Speaker 7: the stores that you can buy.
- 7:07Speaker 4: It's not the same.
- 7:08Speaker 5: It's not the one that TLC that they put into
- 7:10Speaker 5: making every football.
- 7:13Speaker 4: Wait a minute for the NFL.
- 7:14Speaker 3: The one I get at Academy or Dick's or wherever
- 7:17Speaker 3: is not the same that I'm throwing.
- 7:20Speaker 7: You can even go to like Wilson and buy an
- 7:22Speaker 7: official NFL ball. It's not the same one that lands
- 7:25Speaker 7: in the train, like the equipment room.
- 7:27Speaker 4: Or the NFL teams. It is beautiful. It's gorgeous. You
- 7:33Speaker 4: can spin it, especially when they doctor them up really nice.
- 7:38Speaker 3: I was watching quarterback on Netflix, and they had the team,
- 7:42Speaker 3: and they're like, oh, no, I want my ball.
- 7:44Speaker 7: So the quarterback on Friday or Saturday, I think it's Friday,
- 7:48Speaker 7: Friday after practice, will go, and they will have about
- 7:53Speaker 7: 30 or 40 balls to, like in a bag, a
- 7:56Speaker 7: couple bags back in the corner, and the starting quarterback
- 7:59Speaker 7: goes and picks out the 15 game balls or whatever.
- 8:01Speaker 7: I think it's 15 game balls. Maybe it's 20. But
- 8:03Speaker 7: he picks them out, and it's like, oh, yeah, that's
- 8:05Speaker 7: a peach right there. Yeah, that's a good one.
- 8:07Speaker 4: So if you know if it's a peach, you know
- 8:10Speaker 4: that you're going to spend that thing. Yeah.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Hmm.
- 8:15Speaker 4: God, I just got, like, super romantic talking about football.
- 8:18Speaker 4: Do I need to leave? Maybe. Feels like it.
- 8:21Speaker 7: It's like talking about Baker Mayfield around Taylor.
- 8:26Speaker 4: It is. It is.
- 8:31Speaker 5: Oh, how was Nick Underhill yesterday?
- 8:32Speaker 4: I missed him. Hey, awesome.
- 8:36Speaker 3: Matt asked him what he binged.
- 8:38Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 8:38Speaker 3: Like last question.
- 8:41Speaker 2: He's not good at silly questions. Like every time we
- 8:46Speaker 2: ask him an unserious question, it is the worst answer
- 8:49Speaker 2: I've ever heard in my life. Yesterday, he was like,
- 8:51Speaker 2: I'm not bench press. It was very awkward. And then
- 8:54Speaker 2: he's like, 24 pounds. I'm like, not even the bar?
- 8:57Speaker 4: Can't even do the bar.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Or is not even benching?
- 8:59Speaker 4: It's like a modified bar.
- 9:00Speaker 2: I'm benching more than the bar.
- 9:01Speaker 4: Seriously. Come on, Nick. Be better with silly questions.
- 9:04Speaker 2: God.
- 9:06Speaker 3: He should expect that by now. That was the closer, too.
- 9:10Speaker 4: It was the closer.
- 9:11Speaker 2: We already got the serious.
- 9:13Speaker 4: Stuff out of the way. We got all that out
- 9:15Speaker 4: the way. Yeah, he was good. He.
- 9:20Speaker 7: You know, doesn't really want anybody else to get hurt
- 9:23Speaker 7: was pretty much the main thing.
- 9:25Speaker 4: I was like, what do you want to see in
- 9:26Speaker 4: this last game? He's like, I don't want to see
- 9:28Speaker 4: anybody else get hurt.
- 9:29Speaker 7: So I don't think in the rule book, I don't
- 9:32Speaker 7: know if like my suggestion was to just forfeit the
- 9:35Speaker 7: last preseason game.
- 9:36Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know if that's on the table or not.
- 9:38Speaker 3: Well, I know we mentioned yesterday about Ty Chandler getting hurt.
- 9:41Speaker 3: He's on season ending IR.
- 9:43Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 9:45Speaker 4: He was curious as to like.
- 9:48Speaker 2: Why you're never here.
- 9:49Speaker 4: Do you still work here?
- 9:51Speaker 2: Do you hate him is what he was.
- 9:53Speaker 4: That's probably fair for him to ask.
- 9:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 9:55Speaker 2: He's like, is it just when I'm not here?
- 9:56Speaker 4: I think it's been since July.
- 9:57Speaker 5: It's like, well, last week I got back on Wednesday.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Right.
- 10:00Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 10:01Speaker 4: And then this week I had to go over to
- 10:03Speaker 4: LSU for 18.
- 10:04Speaker 3: As we said, he said, I hadn't seen Jake in
- 10:05Speaker 3: like five weeks.
- 10:05Speaker 4: I think it's been four.
- 10:06Speaker 5: No, I saw him at Saints training camp and he
- 10:09Speaker 5: did say, my God, can you please hurry back? I
- 10:11Speaker 5: can't take Flynn solo one more time.
- 10:13Speaker 2: I get it.
- 10:13Speaker 4: That's fair. That is a fair complaint. I said, I'll
- 10:18Speaker 4: be back.
- 10:19Speaker 5: And I think I told him the next week, but
- 10:20Speaker 5: I was lying because I was in Tampa.
- 10:24Speaker 4: It's my bad. That's just me. But for real, though,
- 10:33Speaker 4: they do need to stop getting hurt. Oh, man.
- 10:36Speaker 2: They're like dropping like flies.
- 10:38Speaker 5: The story is oldest time. A lot of ALF practice.
- 10:42Speaker 5: Oscar Delps leaving practice. Devin Neal, yet again, getting hurt.
- 10:47Speaker 5: T-Bob's favorite player, Mason Tipton. Hadn't seen him.
- 10:50Speaker 4: He's hurt.
- 10:51Speaker 3: Is he on the team still?
- 10:52Speaker 4: He's still on the team. He's still hurt. A.K.
- 10:56Speaker 5: Hurt.
- 10:57Speaker 4: We know Jordan Tyson's hurt. T.J. Miller's been nicked up
- 11:01Speaker 4: here and there.
- 11:01Speaker 7: Are the games tomorrow? Usually they're Thursday. Thursday on the last,
- 11:05Speaker 7: so it gets you timed up.
- 11:06Speaker 2: When are we going to do our bold predictions for
- 11:10Speaker 2: the season?
- 11:13Speaker 4: I feel like we probably need to do the– Let's

- 11:59Speaker 2: They might not happen.
- 12:01Speaker 4: LSU's going.
- 12:02Speaker 2: Do you want me to read the ones that we
- 12:04Speaker 2: predicted that would happen last year that did not happen?
- 12:07Speaker 4: Yes.
- 12:08Speaker 2: Okay, Matt had a bunch.
- 12:10Speaker 4: I had some good ones. They were both. Actually, let's
- 12:12Speaker 4: do this. Let's take a break.
- 12:15Speaker 5: We'll come laugh at Flynn together when we come back

- 14:49Speaker 2: It really is.
- 14:50Speaker 4: They rock.
- 14:53Speaker 6: My back didn't feel good.
- 14:55Speaker 4: But the rest of me does.
- 14:57Speaker 2: That's not Rejuven Me's fault.
- 14:58Speaker 4: That's telling me it's definitely not. Like my stubborn head.
- 15:03Speaker 2: I feel like we've each separately told you to go
- 15:07Speaker 2: see different people, and you haven't.
- 15:08Speaker 4: I ain't got time for that.
- 15:13Speaker 3: I don't think there's any hope for you.
- 15:14Speaker 2: I feel like the back would have stopped hurting by
- 15:16Speaker 2: now if you.
- 15:16Speaker 6: Did, though.
- 15:16Speaker 4: I know.
- 15:17Speaker 7: The problem is, for real, though, this was a really
- 15:20Speaker 7: poor time for my back to hurt. So I've been
- 15:23Speaker 7: very busy. And now I've been so busy doing that
- 15:25Speaker 7: at the house, I've completely neglected my office work that
- 15:30Speaker 7: I got to do for my high.
- 15:31Speaker 4: So I got piles of stuff to do.
- 15:34Speaker 2: If you ordered my high, you better.
- 15:36Speaker 7: I've got a lot to do, so I've got to
- 15:37Speaker 7: go spend a day at the office today. And I
- 15:40Speaker 7: can't leave to just go get stretched. Even though I
- 15:44Speaker 7: probably need it. Minus the problem. Minus the problem, for sure.
- 15:49Speaker 7: I've got to get my mind right, though. I've got
- 15:51Speaker 7: a golf match.
- 15:53Speaker 4: I had to cancel it, which you know is a
- 15:55Speaker 4: bad situation. But again, you've got to prioritize. Life's about
- 16:00Speaker 4: choices and decisions. Yeah. And you've got to get that
- 16:04Speaker 4: back right there, Coach. I know. It's going to get there.
- 16:10Speaker 7: So was that like a reschedule? Was that just a
- 16:12Speaker 7: flat out forfeit? We got to reschedule it, but now
- 16:16Speaker 7: we're on a time crunch though. So if we don't
- 16:19Speaker 7: get to make it up, then it becomes a forfeit.
- 16:22Speaker 7: And I might be out there straight arm and like
- 16:24Speaker 7: just punching a five iron down the fairway.
- 16:26Speaker 3: I was going to say like improvement right now.
- 16:30Speaker 7: I ain't going to forfeit. It's not going to be
- 16:33Speaker 7: a forfeit situation. I'll go out there and. You might
- 16:37Speaker 7: have to drag me off that course.
- 16:38Speaker 4: We'll see. We will see. I mean, maybe.
- 16:42Speaker 3: Like, seriously, because the way you're walking right now, you
- 16:44Speaker 3: ain't walking off the course.
- 16:45Speaker 4: See, that's the thing. Yesterday was okay. It was a
- 16:47Speaker 4: lot better.
- 16:50Speaker 3: I looked at you this morning. You walked in like
- 16:51Speaker 3: you just got a cavity surgery. It was not pretty.
- 16:55Speaker 4: Good one.
- 16:56Speaker 3: He had that straight leg. He had that straight-legged walk.
- 16:58Speaker 3: You see it in the movies after, like, TSA really
- 17:00Speaker 3: does a number on you. Like, it wasn't great.
- 17:03Speaker 4: Yeah. Like that tight end commercial. Yes.
- 17:06Speaker 3: That was you today. That was clinching walking down the hallway.
- 17:10Speaker 4: I don't really know where to go after that. I'm
- 17:15Speaker 4: going to be completely honest. About the clinching?
- 17:18Speaker 2: Let's talk about Matt, how wrong he was last year.
- 17:20Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 17:21Speaker 2: We all were, to be fair. Okay, so your first
- 17:24Speaker 2: one that you got wrong. Jordan Love will win MVP.
- 17:27Speaker 4: Sure.
- 17:28Speaker 2: Dabo, I want you to run this one back. Dabo
- 17:31Speaker 2: will injure himself running down the hill.
- 17:32Speaker 4: That one's going to happen.
- 17:34Speaker 2: It has to.
- 17:35Speaker 4: It's a good one.
- 17:36Speaker 2: Stetson Bennett starts for the Cowboys. Matthew Golden wins Offensive
- 17:40Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year. Sure. A coach will be investigated
- 17:43Speaker 2: for gambling activity in college.
- 17:44Speaker 4: See, I don't know how that one didn't happen.
- 17:46Speaker 5: I know.
- 17:47Speaker 2: I did in the pros, but you said college.
- 17:49Speaker 7: Everybody else is doing it. We can't get one college
- 17:52Speaker 7: coach to gamble?
- 17:53Speaker 2: You were early.
- 17:54Speaker 4: I was all over that.
- 17:55Speaker 2: Because, oh, it says coach. Never mind.
- 17:57Speaker 4: I was all over that.
- 17:57Speaker 2: Because a player was. Okay, so Gruden will be a
- 18:01Speaker 2: coach of an SEC football team during the second round
- 18:03Speaker 2: of the college football playoff.
- 18:05Speaker 4: Hold.
- 18:05Speaker 2: Leggett will end the season with over 1,000 receiving yards.
- 18:10Speaker 2: And for the Super Bowl, you had Bills versus Packers.
- 18:13Speaker 4: Very close. Pretty close. They both made the playoffs. Yeah.
- 18:16Speaker 4: That was a popular choice.
- 18:17Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes.
- 18:18Speaker 4: Mine was way off.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Tay-Tay got, well, okay, now volume-wise, Matt had the most
- 18:24Speaker 2: bold predictions. Only two hit, though. So Arkansas will finish
- 18:28Speaker 2: last in the SEC, and the Chiefs don't make the playoffs.
- 18:31Speaker 2: Taylor only had one, two, three, five bold predictions. Three
- 18:34Speaker 2: of them hit. Two did not. The two that didn't
- 18:36Speaker 2: was Kentucky will finish last in the SEC, and then
- 18:39Speaker 2: the Super Bowl was Bill's Packers. The one he got
- 18:41Speaker 2: right was the Commanders don't make the playoffs, Gators finish 5-7,
- 18:44Speaker 2: and Napier gets fired, and then Chiefs will not win
- 18:47Speaker 2: ASC West. Jake had a handful. You got a Sunbelt
- 18:52Speaker 2: team makes the playoffs, and JMU wins the conference. You
- 18:55Speaker 2: got that right. And then Pat's making the playoffs. And
- 18:59Speaker 2: then the ones you didn't were Alvin Kamara, War Rush
- 19:02Speaker 2: for $ 1, 000. Kentucky will finish last in the SEC. Gruden,
- 19:05Speaker 2: Coach of Kentucky. And then Chargers Commanders was your Super Bowl.
- 19:09Speaker 2: And then mine.
- 19:14Speaker 2: I had Harold Perkins finishing top three in Heisman voting.
- 19:17Speaker 2: I really thought he was going to have a big season.
- 19:20Speaker 2: And then Auburn will finish last in the SEC. Kendra
- 19:23Speaker 2: Miller leads Saints in rushing yards. And then my Super
- 19:26Speaker 2: Bowl was Commanders versus Bills. And then the ones I
- 19:28Speaker 2: got right were the Bears will finish the NFC North,
- 19:31Speaker 2: or will win the NFC North. Quinn Ewers will start
- 19:34Speaker 2: for the Dolphins. Hugh Freeze will get fired. And then
- 19:38Speaker 2: Texas Tech will win the Big 12.
- 19:39Speaker 4: Oh, that's nice.
- 19:41Speaker 2: And then Huck predicted the Colts will win the Super Bowl.
- 19:44Speaker 2: He had the Colts versus the Rams.
- 19:46Speaker 4: Dang. He was on. He was.
- 19:47Speaker 3: Bro.
- 19:47Speaker 4: How about nobody getting. How about nobody getting.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Either team in the Super Bowl?
- 19:51Speaker 2: No.
- 19:52Speaker 4: We are high on the bills.
- 19:54Speaker 5: It was bold for me to say the Patriots were
- 19:55Speaker 5: going to make the playoffs. I know.
- 19:56Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. You had the Patriots making the playoffs.
- 19:59Speaker 3: They made the Super Bowl.
- 20:00Speaker 4: Some of those predictions weren't quite as bold as we wanted, though, guys. Why?
- 20:04Speaker 2: Oh, I also said Jerry Jones.
- 20:06Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 20:06Speaker 4: Jerry Jones would pass.
- 20:07Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
- 20:09Speaker 4: Which ones weren't as bold?
- 20:12Speaker 2: I mean, I had third-string quarterbacks starting for the Dolphins.
- 20:15Speaker 7: Yeah, that was very... Like, I don't think the Patriots
- 20:17Speaker 7: made the playoffs very bold.
- 20:19Speaker 4: They picked at five.
- 20:19Speaker 3: At the time, I felt like they kind of were.
- 20:21Speaker 4: They had a top-five pick.
- 20:23Speaker 2: This is preseason, Matt.
- 20:24Speaker 3: It was Rabel's first year.
- 20:26Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 20:27Speaker 4: How's that not? They had a top-five pick.
- 20:32Speaker 2: I don't feel like Arkansas finishing last in the SEC
- 20:35Speaker 2: is all that bold.
- 20:36Speaker 4: Matt, I'll tell you.
- 20:39Speaker 3: You picking them to go to the Super Bowl before
- 20:40Speaker 3: the season, that would have been a bold one. That
- 20:42Speaker 3: would have been a bold one. And it would have hit, too,
- 20:44Speaker 3: which is wild.
- 20:45Speaker 4: Playoffs is plenty bold.
- 20:46Speaker 6: It is.
- 20:47Speaker 4: I think five.
- 20:48Speaker 3: It is bold.
- 20:51Speaker 4: Taylor saying the Chiefs won't win the division wasn't very bold. Okay.
- 20:55Speaker 4: That was just kind of lame.
- 20:56Speaker 3: I threw that out there. The next day, Flynn goes,
- 20:59Speaker 3: I'm up in it. They're not making the playoffs.
- 21:01Speaker 4: Well, that wasn't bold.
- 21:04Speaker 5: I feel like you're only championing for yours that were bold.
- 21:08Speaker 4: Nobody else.
- 21:08Speaker 2: I mean, the Bears were bad going into.
- 21:11Speaker 4: I only said two weren't bold.
- 21:14Speaker 2: Okay, which ones aren't bold either?
- 21:15Speaker 4: I said theirs.
- 21:17Speaker 2: Just those two? Just theirs.
- 21:19Speaker 4: Just theirs too. Taylor's was the least bold one. Oh, thanks.
- 21:25Speaker 2: To be honest.
- 21:25Speaker 4: No, the other ones were bold.
- 21:26Speaker 2: Maybe in retrospect, I don't feel like me saying Hugh
- 21:29Speaker 2: Freeze getting fired was that bold either.
- 21:31Speaker 4: Fair.
- 21:33Speaker 2: Like looking back at it. Mm-hmm.
- 21:36Speaker 4: I guess because of the Auburn portion of it.
- 21:37Speaker 2: Maybe hindsight is beneficial.
- 21:42Speaker 5: Also, you saying Xavier Leggett getting 1,000 yards was so
- 21:45Speaker 5: wrong that you still get negative check marks.
- 21:47Speaker 3: We still talk about it.
- 21:49Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 21:50Speaker 3: Matthew Golden is Offensive Rookie of the Year. That was bold, but.
- 21:56Speaker 5: I mean, that one still does.
- 21:57Speaker 3: In fairness, I had high hopes.
- 21:58Speaker 4: Somebody had them.
- 21:59Speaker 3: I had high hopes for Matthew Golden. What was more wrong?
- 22:02Speaker 7: Xavier Legat getting 1,000 yards or Stetson Bennett, who plays
- 22:05Speaker 7: for the Rams, starting quarterback.
- 22:08Speaker 3: For the Cowboys. Not only that, he had to be
- 22:11Speaker 3: traded to a specific team and start a game. You
- 22:15Speaker 3: had to have a lot go right for you.
- 22:16Speaker 4: Well, the name Stetson deserves to be in Dallas. It does.
- 22:19Speaker 2: You're right.
- 22:20Speaker 4: I'm going to run all of them back.
- 22:22Speaker 3: That's a good ball at a preseason. I'm taking this.
- 22:25Speaker 4: Dax back up.
- 22:25Speaker 2: So we also predicted the team in the top nine
- 22:29Speaker 2: most likely to end the season out of the top 25,
- 22:32Speaker 2: and none of us got it right.
- 22:33Speaker 5: Oh, no.
- 22:33Speaker 4: I'd love to hear this.
- 22:34Speaker 2: So, Jake, you said Notre Dame. Tay-Tay said Alabama.
- 22:38Speaker 4: They didn't make the playoffs or a bowl game.
- 22:39Speaker 2: True. Tay-Tay said Bama. I said Oregon. And Matt said Georgia.
- 22:43Speaker 6: Georgia.
- 22:44Speaker 3: That was teams in the top ten most likely to
- 22:47Speaker 3: end the season. Would finish outside.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Would finish outside the top 25.
- 22:50Speaker 4: I said Notre Dame. He said Georgia. Who'd y'all say?
- 22:52Speaker 2: I said Oregon.
- 22:53Speaker 4: I said Bama.
- 22:54Speaker 2: And Taylor said Bama.
- 22:55Speaker 4: Okay. So Oregon, Bama, Georgia.
- 22:57Speaker 3: I want to do that one again, too.
- 22:58Speaker 7: Did any preseason top 10 team finish out?
- 23:03Speaker 4: Clemson. Clemson. Clemson.
- 23:07Speaker 3: We thought we were so sweet. Our one and two
- 23:10Speaker 3: in our.
- 23:10Speaker 7: OTB top 25? We thought we were so sweet after
- 23:12Speaker 7: we beat Clemson last year.
- 23:13Speaker 5: Oh, dude.
- 23:14Speaker 4: I thought we were so good.
- 23:16Speaker 3: We were like, they called the touchdown back. Didn't matter.
- 23:18Speaker 3: Still got them.
- 23:19Speaker 2: I thought we were good, and then we played Louisiana Tech,
- 23:22Speaker 2: and I was like, or who was it?
- 23:23Speaker 3: Louisiana Tech.
- 23:24Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 23:25Speaker 2: And I was like, okay, maybe.
- 23:26Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 23:27Speaker 5: We'll see.
- 23:27Speaker 4: Just a sleepy game, potentially.
- 23:29Speaker 2: It felt kind of like we didn't dominate Louisiana Tech
- 23:31Speaker 2: the way that we should have. And then who was it?
- 23:33Speaker 2: Florida the next game?
- 23:36Speaker 3: Yeah, because you won 20-10, but you had five turnovers
- 23:39Speaker 3: and only scored 20 points.
- 23:40Speaker 2: And then it was Florida, and then Florida ended up
- 23:42Speaker 2: being terrible. It was Ole.
- 23:44Speaker 4: Miss, right?
- 23:44Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 23:45Speaker 3: Yeah, and then that was your wake-up call.
- 23:47Speaker 2: Yes. That was at Ole Miss.
- 23:50Speaker 3: What did you score against Tech?
- 23:51Speaker 1: 23?
- 23:51Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 23:52Speaker 2: 26?
- 23:52Speaker 4: That's a rough game to call.
- 23:57Speaker 2: The season was rough for you, I feel like.
- 23:59Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh.
- 24:01Speaker 3: 23-7.
- 24:01Speaker 5: Yeah, that's not.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Like a Louisiana Tech score.
- 24:05Speaker 4: No.
- 24:06Speaker 5: And it wouldn't even feel like that.
- 24:07Speaker 3: You didn't have any plays called that. It didn't feel good.
- 24:10Speaker 5: No. The thing I do really enjoy about Chris, the
- 24:14Speaker 5: voice of the Tigers, he does allow me to be
- 24:18Speaker 5: critical when I need to be critical. A lot of
- 24:20Speaker 5: home team broadcasts don't really allow that, but I appreciate
- 24:25Speaker 5: the fact that if it needs to be called out,
- 24:27Speaker 5: and not like just hammering them away, but hey... This
- 24:30Speaker 5: is what they tried to do. This is why it
- 24:32Speaker 5: didn't work.
- 24:34Speaker 7: I think it got to the point last year where
- 24:36Speaker 7: I think it was probably therapeutic for LSU fans to
- 24:39Speaker 7: hear very critical analysis.
- 24:42Speaker 4: So you did a good service.
- 24:46Speaker 2: Then we had Brian Kelly sitting up there gaslighting us.
- 24:50Speaker 2: being like, you're spoiled.
- 24:51Speaker 4: We can run the ball.
- 24:53Speaker 3: We just did it.
- 24:55Speaker 2: No, that was the year before. That was the USC
- 24:57Speaker 2: game in Vegas.
- 24:58Speaker 3: That is the fakest desk slam I've ever seen in
- 25:02Speaker 3: my life.
- 25:03Speaker 2: He was like telling himself in his head, slam the desk,
- 25:05Speaker 2: slam the desk.
- 25:05Speaker 3: Do it now. Do it now. Brian, do something cool.
- 25:08Speaker 3: Do something cool. Pause right before you hit it.
- 25:11Speaker 4: You don't want to hurt your hand. Was it last
- 25:14Speaker 4: year he called us spoiled?
- 25:15Speaker 2: He called us spoiled last year.
- 25:16Speaker 3: That was after the Florida game.
- 25:17Speaker 2: He was yelling at Cobble. Um, said that we didn't have,
- 25:20Speaker 2: we didn't have red zone offense struggles when it was
- 25:24Speaker 2: pretty awful.
- 25:25Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 25:27Speaker 3: Um, I don't know.
- 25:28Speaker 2: He was a straight line.
- 25:29Speaker 3: Remember that one play where he had to put four
- 25:31Speaker 3: guys in the backfield just to make it work. And
- 25:33Speaker 3: then he never did it again. And then he's like, Hey,
- 25:35Speaker 3: we can run the ball.
- 25:36Speaker 4: That's right.
- 25:37Speaker 3: That was the Bauer sharp Jack Piper and like in
- 25:40Speaker 3: the backfield with Caden.
- 25:41Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 25:43Speaker 3: There wasn't anything wrong with the running game. Did you
- 25:44Speaker 3: see that one play?
- 25:45Speaker 4: It was a basic running play. Did you see that
- 25:46Speaker 4: one play?
- 25:47Speaker 5: I will say I don't like when people are like,
- 25:49Speaker 5: if you take those 58 yards away.
- 25:51Speaker 4: I hate that. That's something to do. It was an outlier.
- 25:54Speaker 3: They didn't run that.
- 25:55Speaker 5: The thing that made me so angry about that is
- 25:57Speaker 5: they never came back to it.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 26:00Speaker 5: Hey, let's go hit 58 yarder and then never see
- 26:02Speaker 5: it again.
- 26:02Speaker 3: And that was his thing. He's like, we can. Did
- 26:04Speaker 3: you just see the last play? It's like, we didn't
- 26:06Speaker 3: see it again.
- 26:06Speaker 7: Maybe because you didn't practice it during training camp.
- 26:16Speaker 4: At all.
- 26:16Speaker 7: Maybe he didn't train the linemen to stick their nose
- 26:20Speaker 7: in there.
- 26:21Speaker 2: And where?
- 26:21Speaker 4: And play violently. You know I don't know. Coaches always
- 26:25Speaker 4: say that, though.
- 26:26Speaker 2: Stick your nose in there.
- 26:27Speaker 4: Stick your nose in there.
- 26:28Speaker 3: Where?
- 26:30Speaker 4: In there.
- 26:31Speaker 3: You know where.
- 26:32Speaker 4: No, I don't. That's why we're asking. In the gap.
- 26:38Speaker 4: What gap? A gap. Could be a B gap, too.
- 26:45Speaker 4: B gap. Hell, it could even be a C.
- 26:49Speaker 2: I can't wait. Are you going to.
- 26:52Speaker 4: Be bold again?
- 26:54Speaker 5: Like this is literally not going to happen bold with
- 26:57Speaker 5: your predictions?
- 26:57Speaker 7: It's called bold. Yeah, but also it's called ludicrous too.
- 27:02Speaker 7: It's not called like, let's give takes. It's bold takes.
- 27:06Speaker 7: These are bold takes right here. These are like, if
- 27:11Speaker 7: you bet it at the casino, you're getting rich.
- 27:16Speaker 4: It's not like I'm trying to double my money here. No,
- 27:18Speaker 4: you're getting rich. Are Di trying? Yeah. Mm-hmm. We ain't
- 27:23Speaker 4: half-stepping into this year. Bitty said that. We're full-stepping. On Friday.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Full-step Friday.
- 27:32Speaker 4: Full-step Friday. Isn't Dev coming in this week?
- 27:35Speaker 2: Yeah, Dev's coming in on Friday with his beer.
- 27:38Speaker 5: I think Dev can give us some bold predictions, too.
- 27:43Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 27:43Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 27:45Speaker 4: We're going to have to tee him up then. Let
- 27:47Speaker 4: him know. I'm sure he's listening. Deb always listens.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Deb, get your bold predictions.
- 27:56Speaker 4: Don't be half-stepping.
- 27:58Speaker 2: No, we full-step around here.
- 28:05Speaker 4: I'm reading the chat, and I don't know how they

- 30:11Speaker 5: 2007 reunion. No, Big Faye's not coming.

- 30:40Speaker 4: Did I see they were giving away like some Nitos?
- 30:42Speaker 4: They're giving away, yes.
- 30:43Speaker 2: Squishies?
- 30:45Speaker 4: I know. Kind of a big deal.
- 30:46Speaker 2: If there's a butter squishy, can you give me it?
- 30:49Speaker 4: Yeah, sure. I saw one at the gas station the
- 30:51Speaker 4: other day.
- 30:51Speaker 2: No, it's probably not a real one.
- 30:52Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 30:53Speaker 3: If Matt alone wasn't worth the price of admission, then
- 30:56Speaker 3: he does.
- 30:56Speaker 5: It is 300 free squishies on Sunday for the kids.
- 31:02Speaker 4: You can on-site get your cards.
- 31:03Speaker 5: Graded, too.
- 31:04Speaker 4: What? By who?
- 31:07Speaker 2: Don't act like you don't know.
- 31:08Speaker 5: Show up and find out. I think Mason Braun's going
- 31:14Speaker 5: to be there as well.
- 31:15Speaker 2: Nice.
- 31:15Speaker 4: Shout out.
- 31:16Speaker 2: Shout out Mason Braun.
- 31:17Speaker 4: Do you think they'll have any Star Wars cards there?
- 31:19Speaker 4: A couple. Probably if I bring them. I will. I'm married. Okay.
- 31:28Speaker 4: I don't think so. The cool kids are doing cards,
- 31:31Speaker 4: he says. He said Star Wars.
- 31:33Speaker 7: Cool kids are doing Star Wars. You see, there was
- 31:35Speaker 7: a pitcher for the Yankees recently. It had Star Wars
- 31:39Speaker 7: spikes when he was pitching.
- 31:40Speaker 4: Who was it?
- 31:40Speaker 2: Probably Cam Schlitter.
- 31:44Speaker 4: Schlitter? Yeah, Schlitter.
- 31:45Speaker 2: I think that's how you say it.
- 31:46Speaker 4: Yeah, I tell you. Yeah. Like the Waterslide family. Yeah,
- 31:50Speaker 4: the Schlitters.
- 31:51Speaker 2: Schlitters. Schlitters.
- 31:54Speaker 4: Those folks.
- 31:56Speaker 2: I'm dead.
- 31:58Speaker 4: Schlitter's.
- 32:00Speaker 2: Yeah, it was Cam Schlitter. He's good. Or at least
- 32:04Speaker 2: last night. Yeah, Cy Young hopeful.
- 32:06Speaker 4: I was actually. He's a big name in the card game.
- 32:08Speaker 4: I was on a.
- 32:09Speaker 2: Oh, is he? Yeah, last season.
- 32:10Speaker 4: Was he?
- 32:12Speaker 2: Last season, he was really good. I haven't really kept
- 32:14Speaker 2: up with any MLB this season.
- 32:16Speaker 4: I just keep up with the break. I was on
- 32:18Speaker 4: a Star Wars break, card break.
- 32:20Speaker 7: A couple months ago, there was a new release of,
- 32:22Speaker 7: I think, Masterworks was the name of the product. And
- 32:26Speaker 7: I was sitting there, and this was the day that
- 32:28Speaker 7: I missed out on the big card.
- 32:31Speaker 4: Which one was that?
- 32:32Speaker 7: It was a one-of-one Princess Leia, Carrie Fisher autographed film strip.
- 32:37Speaker 7: There's an actual film strip of one of the original movies.
- 32:40Speaker 7: I missed out on that. It still doesn't haunt me
- 32:43Speaker 7: to this day. But that day, they were like, they
- 32:45Speaker 7: got so many cases to open that And then at
- 32:47Speaker 7: one point, they're like, there's one less case open now.
- 32:51Speaker 7: They're like, there's a New York Yankee that bought it.
- 32:55Speaker 7: So I was like, I wonder who it is. I
- 32:56Speaker 7: wonder who the Star Wars card guy is.
- 32:57Speaker 2: Probably Cam.
- 32:58Speaker 4: Probably him. Definitely him. I mean, look at his cleats.
- 33:02Speaker 4: If you're watching this on YouTube.
- 33:03Speaker 3: I know.
- 33:03Speaker 4: Look at that. I don't know what that is, but
- 33:05Speaker 4: I feel Star Wars. Lightsabers, dude.
- 33:08Speaker 5: I know that, but who's that character over there? Made
- 33:10Speaker 5: from kyber crystals. Who's that character over there?
- 33:12Speaker 4: I don't know. Right over here. I don't know. You
- 33:17Speaker 4: don't know. I mean, it's kind of blurry. You even
- 33:21Speaker 4: Star Wars.
- 33:22Speaker 2: So this is what I remember Cam Schlitter from last
- 33:25Speaker 2: year in the wild card game. They won over the
- 33:30Speaker 2: Red Sox. Cam Schlitter had 12 strikeouts, no walks across
- 33:34Speaker 2: eight scoreless innings. That was his rookie debut. Well, like
- 33:39Speaker 2: playoff debut, but he was a rookie then. Crazy. So yeah,
- 33:43Speaker 2: if you got a Cam Schlitter card.
- 33:47Speaker 4: He's very big in the hobby right now. Okay.
- 33:49Speaker 2: I got a text. Woo! Matt does the big face
- 33:53Speaker 2: sound and he's re-injuring his own back.
- 33:56Speaker 4: That's true.
- 33:57Speaker 3: You're not jinxing the sense that you use. That's right.
- 34:00Speaker 6: Yep.
- 34:02Speaker 7: You know, sometimes when your child's sick or something, you're like, man,
- 34:06Speaker 7: I wish I could take this from you, and I
- 34:08Speaker 7: would take that sickness for you. I'm taking injuries for
- 34:11Speaker 7: the Saints right now.
- 34:11Speaker 2: No, you're not, though, because they keep getting injured.
- 34:14Speaker 4: Could you imagine if I wasn't taking all these injuries
- 34:17Speaker 4: for them?
- 34:17Speaker 2: Could you imagine if my back didn't hurt?
- 34:18Speaker 3: They couldn't field a team, Matt.
- 34:19Speaker 6: They wouldn't be able to do it. Good stuff here. Yeah,
- 34:28Speaker 6: but you really got to stop doing it. I like
- 34:32Speaker 6: to do it, though.
- 34:33Speaker 3: There's another flare-up for you.
- 34:34Speaker 4: There goes our Deb. It's gone. No, I'm excited. Would
- 34:40Speaker 4: one of y'all, y'all going to show up to the
- 34:42Speaker 4: card show?
- 34:44Speaker 2: Where is it?
- 34:46Speaker 4: Gonzales.
- 34:47Speaker 2: When? I clearly did not listen to what you said.
- 34:51Speaker 5: It's Saturday and Sunday. We'll be there Sunday as well.
- 34:53Speaker 2: Y'all are going to be there Sunday.
- 34:54Speaker 4: Yeah, me, Flynn, Stelz, and Chad Jones. Oh. Yeah. Is
- 34:58Speaker 4: Richard Dixon going to be there?
- 34:59Speaker 3: No, Richard's not going.
- 35:00Speaker 4: To be there.
- 35:01Speaker 5: No?
- 35:04Speaker 2: Maybe. I don't think I have anything going on Sunday.
- 35:07Speaker 2: This weekend I'm going to be in New Orleans, though.
- 35:10Speaker 4: Are you going to Kanye?
- 35:10Speaker 3: I'm going to go see Kanye. If it's after my
- 35:12Speaker 3: fantasy draft, I could show up.
- 35:14Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 35:14Speaker 3: My draft is Sunday.
- 35:16Speaker 5: How far is Lamar Dixon from your house?
- 35:18Speaker 4: Oh, 30 minutes. 35, maybe.
- 35:19Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not that. I mean, I went to the
- 35:21Speaker 2: outlets two weeks ago. I can go to your car show.
- 35:23Speaker 3: For me, it's all back roads. It's better to do
- 35:26Speaker 3: back roads.
- 35:26Speaker 4: That feels like a Luke Bryan song. 35.
- 35:28Speaker 3: 35. 35 minutes, maybe.
- 35:30Speaker 2: Better through the back roads.
- 35:36Speaker 3: Y'all are onto something.
- 35:37Speaker 2: We kind of are. I got a text.
- 35:42Speaker 4: There is going to be a Luke Bryan song, Better
- 35:43Speaker 4: on the Back Roads. I'm writing that down.
- 35:45Speaker 3: Like soon.
- 35:47Speaker 2: Send it to.
- 35:48Speaker 3: We better get some sort of royalties from this.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Send it to Justin Moore.
- 35:52Speaker 3: Or wait, is that who came on the show?
- 35:54Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Jake's guy.
- 35:55Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 35:56Speaker 2: I got tags. I have an LSU helmet signed by
- 35:59Speaker 2: Nick Saban. Would it increase the value to get Flynn
- 36:02Speaker 2: and Hester to sign it at CardCon?
- 36:04Speaker 4: Obviously. Duh. Duh. I don't know. Yes, I do. Not Flynn.
- 36:11Speaker 3: Matt's like, I'm trying to be realistic.
- 36:12Speaker 4: Trying to be realistic. I think a Nick Saban signed
- 36:14Speaker 4: helmet by itself is kind of cool. You know what
- 36:18Speaker 4: could make it even better?
- 36:18Speaker 2: Could water it down.
- 36:19Speaker 3: Two of his recruits that won national championships.
- 36:24Speaker 4: Under Les Miles. They still were recruited by Coach Saban,
- 36:27Speaker 4: and you won a natty under Coach Saban. You did.
- 36:29Speaker 4: I didn't. You think those signals are going to give themselves?
- 36:34Speaker 7: Dummy signals are going to give themselves? I don't think so.
- 36:39Speaker 7: Fake signal. So many people fooled. They were like, who
- 36:44Speaker 7: is the real signal caller over there? Is it that
- 36:47Speaker 7: fresh 18-year-old redshirt quarterback?
- 36:50Speaker 2: Tell Matt to do the Big Fave sound while Dabo's
- 36:53Speaker 2: running down the hill.
- 36:54Speaker 4: Dabo!
- 36:54Speaker 2: He goes down with the cream.
- 37:00Speaker 4: Boom. Y'all remember those?
- 37:02Speaker 5: I'm going to be calling the game in a couple
- 37:03Speaker 5: of weeks, and Clemson's going to be running out, and
- 37:05Speaker 5: you're going to hear on the LSU Sports Radio Network.
- 37:07Speaker 5: Chris is going to be like, what the hell are
- 37:12Speaker 5: you doing?
- 37:13Speaker 4: Trying to get Dabo to fall.
- 37:14Speaker 2: We got to get Big Fave to do it to
- 37:17Speaker 2: get the real.
- 37:18Speaker 3: That's right.
- 37:18Speaker 2: Oh, man.
- 37:21Speaker 3: You're calling in the big guns to get it on.
- 37:23Speaker 3: That was a great text.
- 37:23Speaker 2: Thank you for that.
- 37:24Speaker 4: That was a good one. Oh, man. He's got to
- 37:26Speaker 4: hurt himself at one point.
- 37:29Speaker 2: I got a text. Just wanted to hear you say
- 37:33Speaker 2: I got a text again.
- 37:34Speaker 4: All right. Fair enough.
- 37:36Speaker 2: Somebody sent that.
- 37:37Speaker 4: Well done. Well done.
- 37:39Speaker 2: Shout out Love Island.
- 37:42Speaker 4: Shout out to that hill in Clemson Stadium.
- 37:44Speaker 3: I mean, it is Steve, and he runs down it
- 37:46Speaker 3: a lot. Odds are he's going to fall at some point.
- 37:49Speaker 4: Do y'all remember those real pictures that I sent y'all
- 37:51Speaker 4: last year?
- 37:52Speaker 2: Yeah, super real.
- 37:53Speaker 7: Super real pictures, not made by AI at all. Him
- 37:55Speaker 7: hurt himself on the hill.
- 37:57Speaker 3: What's weird? So your prediction did come true?
- 38:00Speaker 4: Chat GT. All right.

- 40:19Speaker 4: Became the light on the dark side of me.
- 40:27Speaker 3: You hit that.
- 40:29Speaker 4: Knocked it out.
- 40:31Speaker 2: But did you know?
- 40:32Speaker 4: Just like you hit that one. I know.
- 40:34Speaker 5: We're all over this song. We're levitating on top of.
- 40:36Speaker 4: It right now. All right, Matt, you're up.
- 40:41Speaker 2: Go.
- 40:43Speaker 4: What? Oh, my God.
- 40:45Speaker 2: That's like the best part.
- 40:46Speaker 4: What in the hell?
- 40:47Speaker 2: You could have hit us with a baby.
- 40:49Speaker 5: Oh, my.
- 40:50Speaker 4: What?
- 40:50Speaker 2: I'm pissed. Way to mess up the vibes.
- 40:56Speaker 4: I don't. I have a very good singing voice.
- 40:59Speaker 2: But it doesn't matter.
- 40:59Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. I asked you to hit it.
- 41:01Speaker 2: Neither do I.
- 41:02Speaker 4: I didn't want to. I don't care.
- 41:04Speaker 5: We're trying to turn a double play and I flipped
- 41:07Speaker 5: it to you.
- 41:08Speaker 4: This is not a proper acoustic environment. Not proper.
- 41:11Speaker 5: I'm totally Nick.
- 41:11Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just going to say that, that you're
- 41:12Speaker 2: acting like Nick right now.
- 41:15Speaker 4: I bet you're fun at parties.
- 41:16Speaker 2: I bet if I ask you who your hear me
- 41:19Speaker 2: out is, you're going to say your wife.
- 41:22Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 41:24Speaker 2: Why would I have to hear you out on that? Right.
- 41:26Speaker 5: That's.
- 41:26Speaker 4: Didn't Taylor say Martha Stewart? Yeah.
- 41:28Speaker 3: Hell yeah, I did.
- 41:29Speaker 2: That's a good hear me out.
- 41:30Speaker 4: Who did I, I said, I did say somebody.
- 41:32Speaker 2: I think you said like one of the older ladies.
- 41:34Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 41:36Speaker 2: Like Meryl Streep or something.
- 41:37Speaker 4: Betty White? Dolly? Rip? Main character from Avatar.
- 41:44Speaker 2: Okay.
- 41:45Speaker 3: That's a good one.
- 41:48Speaker 2: That's a good one.
- 41:49Speaker 5: All right. Hashtag ask the bitch. What did fullback one
- 41:56Speaker 5: like the most he saw at practice?
- 41:57Speaker 4: Run fits.
- 42:00Speaker 5: The offense and defensive line and linebackers working on run fits.
- 42:05Speaker 5: Because last year they were so passive in practice that
- 42:09Speaker 5: the defense had to try to walk through those in
- 42:12Speaker 5: the 11th hour to get ready for Clemson. Which is ludicrous.
- 42:17Speaker 5: You got to know how to fit a run. And
- 42:19Speaker 5: I liked it because they did it for like 15
- 42:21Speaker 5: straight minutes. And they did it Two at a time.
- 42:25Speaker 5: Ones and twos both went, so they didn't waste time.
- 42:29Speaker 4: That's my favorite thing. More importantly, though, how the quarterbacks spent. Good.
- 42:33Speaker 4: Looked good.
- 42:34Speaker 5: Didn't see many balls hit the ground.
- 42:40Speaker 4: Did they play that one song? They had a very
- 42:44Speaker 4: eclectic playlist.
- 42:45Speaker 2: Who?
- 42:46Speaker 4: The practice yesterday.
- 42:47Speaker 3: Oh, they always have eclectic.
- 42:49Speaker 4: Every genre you can imagine.
- 42:51Speaker 2: What LSU game this season worries y'all the most? That's
- 42:55Speaker 2: an ask the bench from my text line.
- 42:58Speaker 5: I think Texas A & M because of all the
- 43:00Speaker 5: emotion that's going to go into Ole Miss the week before.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Okay.
- 43:04Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
- 43:05Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point.
- 43:05Speaker 4: You're going to use so much energy, and that game's
- 43:08Speaker 4: going to be so hyped up.
- 43:09Speaker 5: Even if you win it, can you replicate that for
- 43:11Speaker 5: another week?
- 43:12Speaker 2: So the Ole Miss game doesn't worry y'all?
- 43:15Speaker 5: It's not even that it worries me. I just think that.
- 43:19Speaker 5: We're kind of forgetting about the A & M game.
- 43:22Speaker 5: They've beaten you the last two years. They're a good team.
- 43:24Speaker 5: And you're going to use so much energy in that game.
- 43:27Speaker 4: Win or lose, what are you going to have left
- 43:29Speaker 4: for A & M?
- 43:29Speaker 5: And I know it's early in the season, so not
- 43:31Speaker 5: like physical energy, but just like the mental portion.
- 43:33Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 43:35Speaker 4: I think that for me, I think that's the answer.
- 43:37Speaker 7: Just because how well Texas A & M has played
- 43:40Speaker 7: against you the last couple of years.
- 43:42Speaker 4: And like you said, coming off that. And that's the
- 43:45Speaker 4: coach's job.
- 43:46Speaker 7: That's their job is to not let the team get
- 43:48Speaker 7: too emotionally high for the Ole Miss game. So, I mean,
- 43:51Speaker 7: the Texas A & M is a really good answer.
- 43:55Speaker 7: Texas coming in, that worries me.
- 43:56Speaker 3: I was going to say Texas.
- 43:57Speaker 2: Because I just want to beat.
- 43:59Speaker 4: Them so bad.
- 43:59Speaker 2: Crap for it.
- 44:01Speaker 3: To go different, I think that's the most talented team
- 44:03Speaker 3: you play. And it's right after Alabama and right before
- 44:07Speaker 3: you go on the road to Tennessee, who some people
- 44:10Speaker 3: believe is going to be good. That's a tough spot.
- 44:12Speaker 2: Like, if I'm thinking LSU's going to go 10-2, the
- 44:14Speaker 2: two that I'm looking at is Texas. And I guess, like,
- 44:17Speaker 2: Texas A & M' s a good point, but I'm a
- 44:19Speaker 2: little– Auburn, I don't know what they look like. And that's, like,
- 44:24Speaker 2: in the middle of the season.
- 44:25Speaker 4: The national championship game, that'll be tough for them, too.
- 44:27Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 44:28Speaker 2: Natty will be tough.
- 44:28Speaker 4: That'll be a tough one.
- 44:30Speaker 2: Facing Georgia in the SEC championship will be tough, too.
- 44:33Speaker 4: It's going to be tough. If it was easy, everybody
- 44:38Speaker 4: would do it.
- 44:39Speaker 2: True.
- 44:40Speaker 5: Hashtag ask the bench. What's your TV viewing scenario at home?
- 44:44Speaker 5: One TV or two TVs?
- 44:47Speaker 4: For football games? Living room TV.
- 44:49Speaker 3: And then if it's cooler outside, I'll do the outdoor TV.
- 44:54Speaker 7: I'm assuming for sporting, like for the first Saturday. That's
- 44:58Speaker 7: what I'm assuming. That's the only reason you go double.
- 45:00Speaker 4: TV, right? I go double TV. First football. I go
- 45:06Speaker 4: quad box. You go quad box.
- 45:08Speaker 7: Yeah, so that's kind of the deal, because I got
- 45:11Speaker 7: a big TV in the main living room, but I
- 45:13Speaker 7: just moved out of the main living room, but I'd
- 45:15Speaker 7: go quad box on that, and then I had that
- 45:16Speaker 7: little roll-around TV, so I'd get five games in at
- 45:19Speaker 7: the same time. It's amazing how many times they go
- 45:23Speaker 7: to commercial at the same time, though.
- 45:26Speaker 4: Yeah. Not like this show. We go to commercial at
- 45:33Speaker 4: all different times. It's fair. Very fair.
- 45:40Speaker 5: Hashtag Ask the Bench. If Pyburn comes back, does he
- 45:42Speaker 5: play fullback? I think Grace plays fullback if they had
- 45:47Speaker 5: a fullback. I mean, Brian Kelly said he tried to
- 45:52Speaker 5: do it again and it didn't work.
- 45:55Speaker 3: True.
- 45:59Speaker 7: Does LSU, are we going to run a fullback this year?
- 46:03Speaker 6: No.
- 46:04Speaker 4: Well, that may be goal line or something. I don't know.
- 46:08Speaker 4: A fullback, so.
- 46:11Speaker 4: The NFL's catching back up to the fullback. I don't
- 46:13Speaker 4: know that old college has found its way back yet.
- 46:16Speaker 5: So, NFL's getting there, though.
- 46:20Speaker 4: Got Bold Prediction Friday coming up.
