  Speaker 4: Hey, number three, we did it well made it. The
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: third hour is always my favorite. I don't know why.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: I think you listen up a little bit. Oh me,
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: what am I uptight about? I don't know. People get
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: under your skin right.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Now, though getting I means it. I just think it's
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: funny that you know there's whatever the narrative is, like,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: once they get it, everybody gets it, and it's all
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: that you hear. Again. I'm not saying that drink might
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: even I'm not saying he's the top choice right now
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: for the ustry chop, but like to just continue to
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: hammer the guy when he's twenty eight and eight and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I know the record, Please don't send me the record
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: again against SEC teams with a winning record. I know
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: it better than I know my own child's names. At
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: this point. You got a lot of child I got
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of children, lots of children.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Tough to get those names straight, right, I get that,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: But like to say, as a bad coach, it's just.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Infuriating to me. But whatever, we're Kennedy dealing him people here.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you know that.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: So let me throw another name out at you.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Nope, not doing it. I don't know.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: You gotta say, and his record, don't give me his
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: record record? But what's his record? Against SEC opponents, will
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: winning record.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: I'll say the record in the NFL wasn't great.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know you're going, now, what about Brian Daboll.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: I know people saying he's a lot to go to
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Penn State. I think that's as alma monitor. Is that right?
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Or he's got to connect Yes State somehow?
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: But I believe some.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Guy that has been a very good, offensive minded guy
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: in the professional leagues. It was also, oh yeah, offensive
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: coordinator twenty seventeen Alabama that won a national championship. So
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: he has experience in college. Of course, he's got experience
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: at the highest level. So I don't know, I hadn't
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: heard that name. But if LSU Tigers, if we do
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: believe rightfully so that it's a top three job and
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: it's oh, if it's Ohio State, Georgia, LSU, then everybody else,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: and he wants to come to the college ranks, then
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: why not Rochester is his alma mater. Okay, well there
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: you go.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was a letterman and a two year starter
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: in football as a what position in Brian dave ball play?
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Come on deep snow all right? Jordan safety? What safety? Yep?
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: At Rochester?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man he's only got no.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: No.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: He was a volunteer assistant William and Mary in nineteen
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: ninety seven. He was a grad assistant at Michigan State
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: in ninety eight ninety nine, and then he was in
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the NFL until twenty seventeen. That one year at Alabama.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Then it was off. It's a coordinator. Yeah, it's been
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a while since he's been in in college football. Just
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: ask the question. Yeah, no, okay, no again.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Verge announces next LS your head coach, Brian day Ball.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Your feelings would be sad.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not not enough experience in college. It would be nope, nope.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: You know you gotta turned off too. It's gonna keep
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: doing it.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Yep, no turn off itself.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: No, well they must have fixed that off. Okay, that's
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: for the auto off. I give it a.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: That one.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I told you, I told you no. So no, okay, right, First,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: do you know what record is against I do? I do.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I've been told my man brand is going to keep
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: me on top of it. Fell Brandon. What's up, brother?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: How you doing?
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Hey?
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Living?
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Oh that's good? All right? Hum? Oh what about Belichick?
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: It's the greatest head coach of all time in the NFL. Yeah, no,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: it might be available.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, uh again, Like what I'm looking for,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: there's multiple people that could give it to you out there,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Brent Key, Kenny Dillingham. I think John Serrmol gives it
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to you as well. Like somebody that's going to attack
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: this job with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. Somebody that
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to be convinced or beg to come here.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Somebody that is going to sprint here as soon as
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: they're offered the job. Somebody that is going to understand
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you got to work your ass off at a place
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: like this or you'll get exposed incredibly fast. We have
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: all seen that you have to have a mindset of
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: being tough. You have to have a scheme of being tough.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: You have to understand that every week you're going to
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: get the other team's very best. You have to understand
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: that you are somebody that people want to try to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: hunt because you've been a standard for a long time,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: for last twenty five years, right, you have to understand
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: all of those things. You got to understand Louisiana. And
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about being from here. I don't care
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: if you went here. I don't care if you're from Louisiana.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: But you have to understand Louisiana. You do, and I
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: was very hopeful that Brian Kelly did because some of
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the things he said about the entire state when he
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: got here, I don't think by the end of it
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: he did. Now Coacho actually did understand it, because well,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Coacho was from here. Like I remember having so many
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: conversations with Coacho off the record, one on one about
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: like attacking North Louisiana, and it can't just be South Louisiana.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: It's got to be the entire state. It's got to
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: be every corner of Louisiana. They remember those conversations and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: like that is that's very factual, Like you do have
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to attack the entire state. You have to understand the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: entire state. The entire state's different. We all know that.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: You'll tell me all the time how different it is.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: But you have to understand that. You got to understand that.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: You can't, you know, not recruit Shreveport, you can't not
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: recruit Monroe, you can't not recruit Lafayette, Lake Charles. It
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: can't just be one area. It's got to be the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: entire state. Because there's talent in this entire state. Like
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: we can make all NFL teams from Shreveport, we can
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: make all NFL teams from Baton Rouge, from New Orleans,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: from Lafayette, and they'd be pretty damn competitive because that's
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: what this state is. So like, that's what I want
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: from the next head coach. I really don't even it's
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: not even necessarily the analytics of this stat and that stat.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: It's obviously if you're up for the LSU job, you've
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: got the resume. I just need to you. You got
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to fit like those things because you were lacking in
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: those things. You need those things. That's what you have
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to have to be successful here. M h.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: And it's just a legit, genuine attitude, genuine personality, genuine
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: love for being a coach and wherever you are. And
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: you know, I said it, you know, multiple weeks ago.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: It's like, be careful of the slick talkers. The smooth
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: talking coaches just doesn't mean doesn't mean being a good talker,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: and a smooth talker is different to me. The smooth talker.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Some of that you can't really tell put your finger
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: on if they're like super genuine or not. But I
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: think all the people that we continuously talk about that
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: are up on that list are who they are. They
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: are very genuine people. Whether it's Lane, whether it's Dyli
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: and Ham, whether there's Drink, whether it's Brent Key. Certainly
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: some are all over down a two lane, like Baker,
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Colvin Sheppard, like all these people that we continue to
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: talk about. You can tell who that person is. And
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: I think that and that's that's to me what a
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: fit is. It's like that person. You know exactly who
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: that person is. You know that when he says something,
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: he means it. And that's what I'm looking for because
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: I don't think we had that for a couple of years.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: That's what that's And we don't need to keep like
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: beating the debt horse on this, so we don't need
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: to bring any of that stuff back and talk in
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: depth about it. But like I think that's all we want.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: I think it'd be refreshing to have somebody like you
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: know where you stand. A player knows where they stand,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: a coach knows where they stand with that head coach,
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: and certainly somebody that can handle it when their feet
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: is put to the fire because certainly here at LSU
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: there are high expectations and there's high reward if you
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: had to have success. So I don't know, it's all speculation, buddy, Yeah, Cody.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Cody asked a question Dillingham and Key or both at
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: their homeschools, would they really run here? That's what you
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: have to find out. So you have to find out.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: That's the whole point.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Kiffin's not running here.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: If you exactly if you talk to them, right, you
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: got to see where they're at and what this job
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: would mean to them. That's part of the process. Now
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Brent's a little bit different because he played at Georgia Tech, right,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: So like that's a difference from playing somewhere. We talked
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: about that yesterday, playing somewhere and just going to school somewhere.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: So that's what you have to find out. Like, Okay,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you have that meeting, you set it up. When you're
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: having those discussions, you've got to see where their mindset is. Again,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Like that's Brahms at Louisville where he played, Like we
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: talked about it, like all these candidates that feel like
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: they would fit the job, well, they played somewhere and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: look a lot of times, you know you got somebody
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: that played somewhere they might not be coaching at where
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: they played. We talked about that with summer all like
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: is some are all waiting Is Kentucky going to come open?
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Are they going to move on from Mark Stoops? And
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: if they do, is that what John Somemrrol's waiting on.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: He canceled his deal with Florida yesterday. We don't know that.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I know it means something, But that's what you have
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: to find out when you're having those meetings, when you're
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: having those discussions, if you get on a plane and
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you go to timpe Arizona, if you go to Atlanta, Georgia,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Like that's what you have to find out.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And you make a good point when you say,
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: like you want somebody that's gonna run here, They're not
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: going to think about it, They're not going to do it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Like a little bit unrealistic this world. You can't really
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: do that. Like I'm saying, like Lane's certainly not running here.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: He's kind of playing the field, which he should be,
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: but like he shouldn't be, Like, if you think about it,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: Lane shouldn't be making decision right now anyway. He should
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: be focused on his team that's fighting for a national
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: championship right now, fighting for an SEC championship right now.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: And that's what I said at the other day.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Like I think people thought I was crazy, But it's like,
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: do you want a coach that's gonna leave his team
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: high and dry in the middle of the season that's
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: playing for a national championship. I don't know, Like what
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: message does that send to everybody else. It's like we
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: talked about, like we talked about today, we get the
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: example of like, was it you Jordan? I think Jordan
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: gave the example. It's like, you know, you date a
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: girl that just cheated on her boyfriend, but you think
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: you're gonna you think it's you're not gonna cheat on you.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know, it's just not a great Like if
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: he leaves his team, it's going to be an unprecedented
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: situation like something like this. I'm sure somebody can fact
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: check me in like they're gonna prove me wrong. But
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: I don't remember something like this ever happening. You leave
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: your team that's in a national championship hunt to go
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: to another team to maybe have the opportunity to be
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: in a national championship hunt.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean not to the same effect because Ole
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Miss is in the playoff right now. Notre Dame was
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: with an opportunity to make the playoff. THO one, Ryan
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Kelly came here like mathematically, Notre Dame still had a
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: chance to make the playoff.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm not talking about mathematically.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: This isn't like well, I mean it wasn't crazy. I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: mean they were a couple of spots away.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, Okay, I guess that's similar. It didn't work out.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: So to my point, do you want that type of
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: coach it's going to leave their team? I don't know.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: Now maybe the answer is yes. Maybe you're like, well,
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: where the We're the baddest be in town. No one's
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: gonna cheat on us.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: You.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, that was a lot of data in you right there. Yeah,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of Dad energy. That was a lot of
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Dad energy.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: No cap, no cap.

  Speaker 1: So we apologize for that. I don't like that. I
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: don't like not having that ability. We've done that every week.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: But maybe we can get that done tomorrow.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: It's like the one thing I look forward to, man,
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: I mean there's lots of things. I take that wow,
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: lots of things something wow. Do you know what I
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: don't look forward to anymore? Talking head coaches?
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Why you don't like getting the full breakdown of profiles?
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Because speculation's fun.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you, let me ask you this is
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: it going to be somebody that like? So we're talking
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: about kind of these Core four or five somebody else.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: And we always talk about like the betting odds always
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: being wrong, and like, you know, Kenny Dillingham has become
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: in vogue because it's the latest name that's been the
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: top betting odds and he's a hell of football coach
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: thirty five years old. We've laid it out what he's
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: done with quarterbacks, what I think he could do here,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: and he's quickly becoming my top choice I think to
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: be the next head coach.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: But the last twelve high profile head coaching hires, it
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: feels like they've all been somebody's kind of been off
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the board of the betting odds. I mean, James Franklin
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: to Virginia Tech is like one of the few times
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: where it's like as soon as it kind of was
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: talking about the first time, is like, oh yeah, that
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: makes all of the sense, right, because like James Franklin's
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: always dominated Virginia in recruiting half as Penn State, you
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: know players, it felt like we're from Virginia, He's already
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: in all those things. Very few times is like you
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: say the one name and then the one name ends
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: up being the person.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but there's been so much noise around Lane Kiffin.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: It feels like everybody else is a dark horse. Everybody
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: else is like that could be that person that comes
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: out of nowhere because the noise over one person, like
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: to me, I don't feel like we've talked about dialing
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: him enough until the news.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: About Sam Levitt broke.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we haven't talked about you know, we've talked about
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: like the brat Keys and the Broms because of you know,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: them being a good head coach and good you know,
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: certain metrics that you look for, I guess, but but
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: we hadn't talked about them because they're coaching at the
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: place they played, and they're loyal to and all these
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: different things. But like, this has all the makings of
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: just being someone out of the out of the blue,
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: like a like a Mickey Loomis first round draft pick,
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: like somebody you're like, huh, I go.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I will never ever, ever, ever ever forget. It was
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: like maybe my first year at the station we were
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: doing and we had just gotten here, we're doing a
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: draft party. I don't even I don't even remember where
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: it was, but they paired me and Handy together for like,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: cause we know everybody does like two hours here, two hours,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: two hours. And so it was me and Handy and
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: we had the same pick and they make a trade
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: and Hanny like sits up in his chair. He starts
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: like tapping me. He's so excited. Saints made a trade, Rachel,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: and they're like Mark's dabbingport ed rusher utsa. And the
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: look on that man's face, the look I will literally
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: never in my life forget.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Oh that's so good.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I will never forget to look at it.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: It's like excited.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: You know, it was not it wasn't you for it,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: It was not that so m.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Well, that's how we felt every year, I felt, Philip,
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: and I say we. I've only been a Saints fan
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: for about three months now, how's that going. Well, I
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: don't know if I'm a fan anymore.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Because they're playing back to your front runner. Mm hmmm.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: No, I just like I see the pain and misery
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: that Saints fans have. I don't know if I want
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: any part of it or not. I just make a
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: decision right now, so this I could feel different. Next tumment, Yeah, I.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Told you when you started this, like you don't have
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: to be a fan. Like of the teams were about
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: like you can. Like I grew up Saints fan for sure,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: like you know Von Dunbar and Craig Hayward.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: But I wanted to buy in to the people that
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: are listening to want. I wanted to Tolliver.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Billy Joe Tolliver, Billy Joe.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: I got serious, fomo. You know, I don't want to
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: miss out with our the people that are great listeners,
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: the people of Louisiana.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I don't want to miss out on an amazing rebuild.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: In a run. I want to be part of it.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: But then in the same token, I'm also joining the misery.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: So I don't know. It's always darkest before the dawn fluid. True,
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: winter is coming, No, it's already.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Here, and buddy, we're not in winter right now?
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: Is coming?
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah? It goes from Game of Thrones to olof Anything
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: about the summer, Yeah, yeah, famously. So just gotta trust
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Mickey that's it. Just got to trust Mickey Limis to
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: make the right decision.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Gil said he's one of the best in the league,
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: longest tenured for sure for a reason. M h there's
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: a reason why you're not usually a long tenured gem.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: True, he's basically the owner though, So to get back
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: to your favorite subject though, coaching searches. So Desmond Howard
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: put out a video on social media saying, don't be
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: surprised if the Texas job becomes open, because Steve Sarkisian
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: would you know, go elsewhere. And a lot of people
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: believe he'd be back in the NFL or he's been
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator before and maybe he would take one
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: of the NFL jobs, and Sarkisian was not a fan
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: of that. He had a rebuttal where he just I mean,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: he came out like guns are blazing and was just
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: like if you got any question about me and where
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I'm at, and blah blah, like hey, you come speak
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: to me. Chryst o' connie, our athletic director Christale Connie
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: actually quote tweeted the Desmond Howard tweet and said, this
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: is news to me. Thanks for the insight about Steve Sarkisian.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: So he has tried to shut down all of the
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: you know, potential NFL rumors for him. I believe, like
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know, if you said, all the clowns or
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: bozos out there with the information, I don't know where
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: they get it. But Steve Sarkisian says he's staying put
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: in Texas because if well, if he didn't, if that is,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: you know, something where he's trying to have a smoke,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Like if that job comes open, My god, you imagine
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: having Texas, LSU, Florida, Auburn, Penn State all open at
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the same time.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Lane's ex wife and kids will be on another plane.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: You think they'll give like their data birth and their socials. Again,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: who always on the plane tail numbers?
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: My goodness, they better boost up that server that runs
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: that flight tracking web site. Can't crash again. We got
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: coach like coaching searchers are just starting to heat up.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: What if it's on the flight track and left in
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: this season?
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: What if it's John sumrang to what you don't have
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: like to tell us he wouldn't be on a flight.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't think. Yeah, just drive, I mean it's like
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: an hour. Yeah, that's the real question. If they go
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: talk to John Someraw, would they still get on a plane.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: I think you go down there? Yeah for sure, Yeah,
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: you just go down there. Just you get in the car. Hey,
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: we'll send a bus for you. John, go down to
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: the interstate. We'll send you a sprinter van.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you take a nice sprinter van. You
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: don't just take your car. Yeah, you get a driver
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: with a bathroom. Minute, it's one of the RV types,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: be it restroom. There's not a bathroom there in a
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: water closet. So that way, like the flight Tracker website
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: wouldn't even know.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Still, not a lot of people talking about Blake. We
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: just stopped talking about Kevin Shephard. Go ahead, well, I
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: think they would both be really good options.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Look, I the two names that you just said, I
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: am never going to say they can't do something, no doubt.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I think our listeners know how we feel about those two.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I say to young men because I'm old, Yeah, but
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: you know they're they're full grown adults, adults like we
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: feel strongly about both those guys. And so that's that's
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: another thing that you really have to take into account.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: What do you value? Are you valuing the resume? Are
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: you valuing what you're looking for? Because those can be
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: two different things. Now, if you find somebody with both,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: that's utopia. That's what you try to get to. It
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't always happen in coaching surges. Sometimes you do have
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: to take a chance. Sometimes you do have to go
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: out on a limb a little bit, right, You got
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: to get into some murky water, if you will. So
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: that like the committee that's put together, like that's what
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: they have to in my opinion, established from the very
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: get go. What are we looking for? What are we
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: trying to get the guy with the resume? And look,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: you just had a guy with a pretty good one.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: M Are we trying to get a guy?
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: We're trying to like literally find like the the one
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: person that exists that can give us both? Are we
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: looking for somebody that has incredible potential that fits everything
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: that we need and checks every box that we have here?
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Like those are like that has to be defined in
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: my opinion, like from the very get go, and then
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: it look if you have to alter off of that,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: then you make an audible off of that.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And like always there's a counter argument to everything.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: There is a devil's advocate to every argument or person
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: you're gonna have, Like you keep getting hit with a
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: stat on drink. What what's the stat to say it?
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: You got to memorize the one with who drink?
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and sixteen against SEC teams with over five hundred
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: record I believe.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Is in sixteen. Yeah, okay, Elaine Kiffen. So someone said
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: it in the chat early. I don't remember who I apologized,
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: but I just like I just looked it up again
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: to confirmix. I was like Welane Kiffin's eleven and twenty
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: four versus top twenty five opponents. Like so you can,
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: you can give all the stats you want. There's coaches
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: with good records as coaches, you know, some years are good,
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: some years are bad. Like you got to look at
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: the overall body of work and their game management.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: There.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: They're whether the way they lead a group of men,
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: what they've done at a particular school. And I don't
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: think we would look at Eli or Lane Kiffen to
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: say they hadn't been successful just because they got these
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: losing records against a certain type of opponent. And you
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: can hand pick, you can cheerry pick stats and different
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: guys against top five. I mean, we've we've given the status.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I bet Brian Kellys was really good.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: I bet Brian Kelly is incredible, and we've given this
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: that about Like you know, Jeff Brahm at Purdue of Louisville,
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: I think is four and one versus top five opponents.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Really good against top five opponents and always loses to
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: an underring team.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: So instead of saying like the good part, you could
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: be like, well he's you know, well he's three and
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: twenty five against top twenty five and that's not out
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: of the top five or whatever. I don't know. You
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: can cherry pick stuff all you want. Yeah, it's all
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: about finding personality. It's all about finding a genuine person,
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: someone that can lead a room, someone that can attract
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: and attract recruits, not only in the state of Louisiana,
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: but the people that are already wearing an LSU helmet.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: It's about bringing excitement, and certainly the guys that we're
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: all talking about can do it, but certainly Blake Baker
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: and Kevin Sheppard could do that part as well. Now
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: that being a head coach, they've never done it before,
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: so that's a big question mark. So I understand the
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: fan that's like LSU is a top job in the country.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: We deserve somebody with that experience.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: I get that, And but that's not to say that
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: if you are good at the process of finding a coach,
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: it's like being a recruiter, like if you can find
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: that person that you believe can do the job of
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: head coach even though he doesn't have that head coaching experience.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: If you know, be on a shadow of a doubt
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: that a guy like Blake Baker, that a guy like
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Kevin Sheppard can step in and solidify one side of
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: the team offense or defense, and put good people around
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: you and lead men and get the best out of
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: a human being. Every single week when a guy's not
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: feeling great, can you still get the best out of them?
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Can you lead a group from a group full of people?
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Can you talk to boosters? And can you get money
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: from all people from around the state and alumni that
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: want to come back?
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Can you get that money? Can you secure all the
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: people around you?
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: Like, there's a lot to navigate, But if you believe
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: that that's that guy and you're hiring, and if you're
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: verge or if you're the committee or whatever, and you
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: feel strongly about somebody that's not currently a head coach,
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: I'm all in with that. Yeah. I can get behind that.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: If you give me good reasons why you make that decision. Yep,
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: I am right there with you.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I think that you do have to lay out every plan,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: you've had time, you've had extra time, you have to
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: lay it all out. And then as a committee five
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: six members, however many people are in that room, you
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: have got to figure out here is what we're looking for.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: And when you start talking about people, how many of
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: these boxes do they check? How many do we still
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: have question marks about?
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: And that's why I do really really appreciate the fact
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: that you have an athletic director that does understand this
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: place probably as well as anybody. Right. And I know
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: this is Verge his first time to be an athletic director,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: but in this instance, in this you know coaching hire.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: The man played for Lawship football. He's from Louisiana, he's
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: been for thirty years in different capacity. You don't think
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: that Vergon knows what a successful LSU football coach looks like.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Like he seemed good, he seemed bad, He's seen everywhere
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: in between. So like with Verge leading it, and then
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: you have a committee and you've got other you know,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: guys that have played LSU football that are own this committee.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Once you define it, because again I think he's a
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: great person to define what it is, then then you
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: attack it with like your full force. Yeah, but I
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: think defining what you're looking for first is very.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: Important in anything in life, whether you're hiring a head
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: coach or you're hiring an accountant, you're hiring a lot like
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: whatever it is, defining what you're looking for is priority
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: number one. So if they can do that, and like
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: you said, thank god for Verge. I mean, how many
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: people in the with the climate of what was happening
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: politically and around the LSU, you know, firing and Brian Kelly,
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: the fire Scott Wood where the governor comments like what
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: decent athletic director was choosing to come to LSU outside
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: of this program? So thank god we had a very capable, smart,
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: loyal person in our own in our own backyard right
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: here to take that job. So let's just you know,
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: we're all cheering for Verge, we're all cheering for the committee.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: I hope they get it right. So nobody knows what's
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: all speculation so we can. We could keep beating a
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: dead horse over everything, and it's fun to do. It's
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: fun to speculate, it's fun to guess, but it's just
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: like guessing the weather right now.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: So yeah, uh, inside the Chad Joe said, yall said
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: the same thing about Dave Randa. Now look at him.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're talking to us with the chat,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I hadn't really been able to keep up.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: No.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Look, I love Dave. I think Dave's a great human
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: being and he's a very very good defensive play caller.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Day's personality and being a head coach was always something
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: that was questioned. Yep, Dave and Blake don't have the
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: same personality. Dave and Kelvin don't have the same personality
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: to say the least. Yep. Like when I talked to
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Dave Randa, like I interviewed him like three four weeks ago,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: and every time I do, I'm like, man, I don't
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: know what he just said. It sounded really smart. I
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: don't really I don't follow like what he's just said.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: It sounds like it sound a good I don't really know. Uh,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: just a very deep thinker. And and here's.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: The deal, Like with that different personality, Like you got
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: to be a little bit more, you got to be
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: a little bit more outgoing, you got to be a
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: little bit more excited. And you can't fake energy. You
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: can't fake authentic AUTHENTICSM authenticism authenticism. Yep, then we nailed
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: it third times a charm. You can't fake all that.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: I know. You can't fake being authentic. That's what I'm saying,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: So like Dave, like he would have authy yeah, I think,
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: but I think we were saying it right.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Don't group that.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: You can't fake that stuff, right, So, like Dave would
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: always like, you have to be a little bit more energetic.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Well, like Blake's got that.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: He might have even had like too much of it,
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: like doing push up and stuff because he dropped like
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: interception attempts on the sideline during priory.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: He might have to like pull a little bit.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: He might have to pull all that, but it's easier
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: to pull back on that than have to like go
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: out there and fake energy. Well, he's got that in spades. Authenticism,
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, you're you are.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I'm about to pull a bit Madison on you.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: If you don't start, I think authenticism's right, that's not

• 35:20
  Speaker 4: a commitment to being true to one's own values, beliefs
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: and personality. Authenticism.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: It's a great word.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: And I tried to type it in the chat autocorrect
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: did try to change it, but Google confirms it's a word.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 35:33

• 35:38

  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, as many as you tried to say to
• 35:41

  Speaker 4: I'm sure that like that scene in uh find an
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: Emao where the teachers like, yeah, don't hurt yourself, kid, Yeah,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: I hurt my brain a little bit. But if you
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: if you come to the show to get a better
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: grasp of the English language, probably not the show for you.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: Go check out another pie yes or something. After the show,
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: of course, So sorry, but not sorry. Authenticism. Use it.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: It's your SAT vocabulary word of the day. Did you
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: see the story about Ceedee Lamb.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I did not.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: Well Monday morning. Yeah, they played Monday night. They were
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: in Las Vegas, Las Vegas, famously known for partying. He
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: was saying throwing up I think in the lobby in
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: the morning of their game on Monday night. I don't
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: know if he had a stomach bug at all, not sure.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: So we kind of asked a question yesterday. I think
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens both had to sit on
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: the bench the entire first drive of the game.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: So what real discipline that is?
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll show you. Well, that's what Like that goes
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: to show you that life isn't fair. Sometimes people used
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: to get mad, like when they were like they were
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: on the practice squad or like a special team or
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: something like that, if you missed a meeting or you're
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: late to a meeting, like sometimes you get cut for that.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: Sometimes you get real disciplined. Well, if you're starting quarterback
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: or somebody or a star player is late. For me,
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: it's just like hey, man, try to show up on
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: time and then you know, people are like, that's not fair,
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: that's not fire. Well, yeah, of course it's not fair,
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: Like you're not that guy. Sorry, be better. You can
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: be late to a meeting every now and then, well
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: you can get you can get a touch of Vegas
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: and kind of maybe go out and miss a curfew,
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: be late, maybe throw up in the lobby the morning
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: of your game, Monday night football game, because heck, you
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: got you know, eleven hours, ten hours to shake it off,
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: and then you can go out and you know, catch
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: for eighty yards in the game, fis and catch for
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: a hundred and.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Fifty game, so they dominated the game. So it's kind
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: of like you maybe go out the Thursday before the
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Florida game, had a pretty good day that day, right,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: So right, maybe we're running something here.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: I had a buddy of mine that was a same
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: buddy I talked about, who's a fourth rounder, who was
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: you know, ten eleven year player, play five or six
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: Pro Bowls whatever, all pro right guard. And we would
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: go out every Friday night up to a local establishment
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: and you know, have some do sekis, have a couple
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: of adult bevies. Yeah, sometimes had more than more than
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: most people should.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: So it happens.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: Okay, it happens every now and then, and he would
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: always have a good game. And then we didn't go
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: out one time the second year and in the second year,
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: maybe it was a third year playing, it was the
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: first time we never did it on Friday, and.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: He gave up his first second of his career. Yeah,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: and he's like, well, not doing that again. Yeah, making
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: sure beers get deleted.
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, doing lots of them.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: You know, it's funny that that's a football mindset, like
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: CD Lamb if he was out in Vegas whatever, Like
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: we're grown adults that still have bedcheck. On every road
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: game that we were ever on, we have bet check.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Like when I tell my MLB NBA friends that, like
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: when I was playing, they're like wait a minute, what right,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: They're like yeah, wait, as professionals, you all have bedcheck,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: like people come and check your rooms. Like yeah, yeah,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Like it's not that's not no. I was like, you
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: don't have that baseball They're like no, no, Like what
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: They're like, get out of the city. We do whatever
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: we want. We get ourselves to the game and we
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: play and then we do whatever we want. Tom Like wait, what,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Like you don't have to be somewhere. Like we had
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: security outside of every hotel, like you couldn't leave and
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: they literally knock on your door and check this, make
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: sure as a thirty year old grown man, that you're
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: in for the night. Yeah. No, we don't have anything
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: like that, Matt. I don't even think they had that.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Like in college baseball, Yeah, that's wild.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Were you ever on a team that got they gave
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: you in the team dining the night before game, they
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: had beers there for you. Yes, yeah, we had a couple. Yeah,
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: we could. We could put down a couple. It was
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: good antioxidants.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't like if we were if we were
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: on the road and we took a lot of obviously
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: long chips because we were on the West coast, if
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: we went anywhere that was like you know we go
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: in fron than the Friday night snack, we would.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: Yeaheah, well we would go and we would do. So
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: you go on an away game and you're free until
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: like eight or nine at night, so you get there,
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: you get there at three, four, whatever in the afternoon,
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: kind of depend on the length of the flight. And
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: so we would always go the linemen and quarterbacks, right
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: so I'll go to dinner and that's where you know,
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: you would famously go get a big steak dinner and
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: you play like credit card roulette, so like you know,
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: or rookies would get stuck with a huge bill or whatever.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: It's usually the night before and it's just it's not
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: a big deal. It's like you go and you know what,
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: are a couple of bottles of wine, You enjoy yourself
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: or whatever, and then you go play a game the
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: next day.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: It's a little bit different. I mean, you're you're you're
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: grown men at that point. You see, we took a
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: lot of two day trips, and so we always had
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Friday night to go, oh yeah, enjoy it a little
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: bit more, yeah than a Saturday. Sure, But in the
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: middle of the.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: You're playing baseball players, like if you're a pitcher or
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: something like I knew a lot of pitchers or knew
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: of a lot of pitchers that they would have condos
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: and the cities that were in there is a a division.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, like in therefore, the teams they played a lot,
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: they'd have condos in the downtown of that area. Because
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: they're pictures, they're they're working like one, hey, yeah, three
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: game series or whatever. So they have their own condos
