  Speaker 5: Meadows and Scott Kessler taught me out of it. So
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: I haven't wonted in forever. Well, I haven't run my
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: team and forever Jackson did, Jason did? Blake did we

  Speaker 3: Did we win it? Your first time around?
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: So it's been that long, Yeah, it's it's been a minute.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: We got to get our mind right. I think I
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: really believe we're in position to do Okay, do you?
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: It's a keeper league. We got very good keepers.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Is Caleb Williams still our quarterback?
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: Yes, that's a good keeper. That's a good quarterback.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: I don't really care about Chicago Bears football since Walter Payton.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: But and I was obsessed with Walter Payton as a kid,
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: just like you had your guys, right, especially knowing that
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: Walter Payton played at Jackson State. That was like that
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: he was a god to us. But kind of think
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: Jay Meadows, who my favorite Chicago Bear is since Walter
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: de Hester Devon was a great player? What a what
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: a what a special special talent? Damn Charles Tillman, the
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: peanut punch. We had Tillman on the show.
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: Love that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I wasn't really thinking of him.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Erlacker, No, j Cutler, No, although I thought, I think
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: is pretty funny because he's real drop and he's real funny.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Brandon Marshall, now, I mean good player, But no, that
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: doesn't do anything for me. That's not right, Irlacker doesn't.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't have anything against these guys. God
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: damn it played offense. I thought I just said Rex
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Grossman numb nuts.
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: Uh so yeah, they're not playing offense.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean I was just thinking about that, like
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Mississippi State was bad at offense for decades and then Dan,
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: you know, in the modern era. They've had some better
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: offenses under Dan and Leech. Even Jackie had some good offenses.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: He I mean it was more you know, pound the rock,
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: but uh.
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: I mean offensive player.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: But the Bears have actually been more dysfunctional on offense
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: than ms U posts Walter Payton. And that's that's incredible
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: to me. I mean, the Bears have been awful on offense.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: Good lord.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but it's turned around now with the you know,
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: the offensive player of.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: The year and now they're moving to Indiana. What offensive
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: player of the year last year?
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: Caleb Williams, he's our road worried about fantasy stats, gotcha?
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: Okay, okay, that's right. See you're you're more into the
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: smoking mirror stuff.
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: I'm trying to make sure we win.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Okay, Okay, anyway, I'm playing fantasy foot well, I say it.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: I don't even think I'm gonna be able to make
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: the draft.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Well he hadn't told me exactly, but the only reason
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: I play is to see Scott and them at the
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: draft and because of the trash talking and t r
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: is funny, you know the whole all Right, do you
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: have you have another league though you play, or do
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: you play.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: How many leagues do you play too?
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: From the hometown. I just stick to them too.

  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Will you name the league straight out of Clinton in
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: honor of me? And I don't know why I think
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: that's funny. It's probably ridiculous to you, but I just
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: I think of you and you're straight out of Clinton.
• 9:06

• 14:55
  Speaker 5: pretty odd. We're gonna pack it with cool stuff.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: Charlie Sheen was three feet a video or a cameo,
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: whenever it was, he was there. He hit the bubble.
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: There was a mean bubble during COVID.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: I can only imagine.
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: So he hit that. He was there in twenty nineteen.
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: He is currently not on cameos dot Comedy more. However,
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: there is a seven thousand person wait list to get
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: on there. If he gets on there, there's seven thousand
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: people ready to buy.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: Okay, so give me. Let's think about so the demand
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: is there? Oh yeah, as much money as he blew
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: he still got money or he'd be doing that, right
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: and I know, you know, so let's do So he's
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: looking at two point eight million that's sitting there, just
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: right there. Whenever he wants to get it. He's got
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: and I think I'm going low. I went conservative. He's
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: got two point eight million sitting there waiting for him
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: whenever he wants to do it. As far as cameos, yes,
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: and I think that is a drop in the bucket
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: on what he can make. Oh yeah, yeah. I don't
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: know what Cameo takes, so I don't know what his
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: net is, but let's just say they take ten to
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: fifteen percent.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, his net is still really really good.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Okay, And again I think if Charlie Sheen committed to
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: it for a while, he can make five million easily.
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, yeah, still but still like today, Yes, I
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: mean he probably would have sworded past that whenever the
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: winning thing.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: Can you imagine when Pete Rose was alive, So he
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: did baseball, you know, he did autograph signings and baseball
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: card signings his whole life and made twenty grand and
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: pop thirty grand a pop you know, forever, I mean
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: he do he worked all the time I don't know
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: how many hundreds of thousands of dollars he was making
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: a mount, but he did well.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Could have done even, but he did well. Somebody mentioned
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Mike Tyson.
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: Tyson would be good.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: I'm sure Tyson's on there. Okay, you know, I figure
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: Tyson can get up every day and do of them
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: and make a few grand per day. So when we
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: think about these these men and women who may not
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: have another path to generate revenue if they want to,
• 17:11

  Speaker 5: do cameos, Yeah, just for frat guys, right and make
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: Let's just say, Manziel's broke, and I have no idea.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: Sure he could trip over twenty k a money, yep,
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: and that that's not a lot of money to some
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: of you, and that's a lot of money to others.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: But Manziel could just yeah, I know I can make
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year from the couch.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Literally.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: I know a lot of people on Instagram are telling

• 17:57
  Speaker 5: when everybody when a lot of people were at home

  Speaker 2: stars come around. Everybody just kind of glances over and
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: just ignores and keeps going. Man, Drew Brees, he he

  Speaker 2: was on another level. People. Uh would just get so
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: giddy about seeing Drew Brees because he made it. He
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: made us all, uh feel great about ourselves.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Really sure, what was it like.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: Trying to get your customers to give him space when
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: he would frequent your restaurant Yield College in on Carrollton
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: in New Orleans, Johnny.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would try to make sure I'd get him
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: into a table fast. You know, it was because you know,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: the whole the whole bar area everybody waiting. People would
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: would want to go talk to him and tell them
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: about his their favorite you know moment. So I would
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: certainly try to get him in there quick, and it
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: was important otherwise we would never get a chance to
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: serve and people would talk to him all night. But
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: once he once he got in a table, people would Yeah,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: they really did leave him alone and let him, let
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: him just be a guy.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: How walk me through.
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: So you meet Drew walks in one day to your
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: restaurant on Carrollton and your your post. I guess ten months,
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: twelve months, Katrino, walk me through reopening? I mean where
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: were you mentally? Did you know for sure y'all were
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: going to keep going? I mean, so during that timeline,
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: where was your restaurant in business?
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: And where were you mentally? Johnny?
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Sure? Sure? So you know we I mentioned in nineteen
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: thirty three, we were around forever, but uh when in
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: three we you know, we bought from we bought you
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: old college in from the original founding family, the Roofing family,
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: and we already had the rock and bowl and we
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: were you know in food and beverage, but we were not,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: you know, in dying, you know, full service dining. But
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: you know it's only two years in when Katrina hits,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: we were wiped out. And you know, we rebuilt in
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: a building right next door that happened to be in
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: the older building, but it was on the same property, uh,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: just because of the condition of the building. So when
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: we rebuilt that sucker and got it open and in
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: record time, we were the first flooded restaurant to reopen.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Now that you know, we had the benefit of having
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: a different building to go into, but we jumped in,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: we got it open, uh, and it was it was
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: certainly a least a huge leap of faith we had
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: become you when we decided to do dinner only, because
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: everybody that was already open in the area was just
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: was doing launch only. So we decided, well, we'll do
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: dinner only and be the only place around for dinner.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: And and that really did work the neighborhood, our neighborhood
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: that drew as a part of you know, he he
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: fortunately moved in to the neighborhood and was driving by
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: every day from you know, the practice facility back to
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: the back to his house. So uh, you know, there
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: was there was this thing in the air that you
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: know we're gonna make it. Uh it's gonna be okay,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: don't know exactly how or why this city is gonna
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: come back again, but but it's going to uh you know,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: once them Now later on, when the media, you know,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: met Drew eventually mentions a couple of things in the media,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: of course it helps us. You know, we uh gave
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: us credibility in certain circles and and we still to
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: this day have people from around the you know, country,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: around the world that saw something about Drew Brees talking
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: about our restaurant and they end up in New Orleans
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: and they pop in and try it out.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: This is incredible.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: Johnny Blancher owns the restaurant Yield College in Drew Brees's
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: favorite restaurant in New Orleans on Carrollton. It's a beautiful
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: story about how they met organically and became friends and
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: uh Drew's support obviously helped them, and of course they
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: had the perseverance in the will to reopen after Katrina.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: So you're you're getting open and getting your feet under you. Johnny,
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: right around the time he and Sean get dropped in
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: New Orleans. So and can you talk about once you
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: once y'all got going again, and the fact that they
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: went to the NFC Championship game in year one and
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: and Drew becomes a regular customer for you. I know
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: you touched on it a little bit, but what kind
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: of impact did that have on your on both your businesses?
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Johnny, Well, I think it. You know, it has a doubt.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: You know, the impact on the businesses is kind of downstream. Uh,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: there's a confidence in the air in the city when uh,
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: you know, by the success of the team, there's there's
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: something to rally behind as a city that that was important.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I can't really express enough appreciation for what the Saints
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: ended up putting together with Drew and Sean and the
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: and the really the entire cast of of people. The
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: whole thing was first rate and and it really did
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: help propel us. There's an air of confidence in the city.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: There's there's just some enjoyment. There's an escape from the reality.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, the whole world. I've told people
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: this in the past. If you if you were here
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: immediately after Katrina, there was a color of gray that
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: you didn't know existed. And I still can't really I
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: could never draw it. I could never tell you what
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: the color looks like. I couldn't pick it out on
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: a chart, but man, it was just this ugliness that
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: that that you thought was insurmountable. But over time, you know,
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: it became well, no, we can do this. And the Saints,
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: you know, helped us get through that. It was sure
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: and we you know, we did it together. We had
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: something that uh that A lot of that I think
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: some of the great generations over the course of time
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: have had, you know, where they had this common thing
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: to get behind, and for for us, it was the
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: it was the comeback, and the Saints were a huge
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: part of the comeback.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: Johnny Blancher owns ye Old College in Drew Brees's favorite restaurant,
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: and it's on Carrollton. It's a beautiful story, one of
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: many with Drew and Shawn and and as Johnny says,
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: so many other players that impacted that were around town,
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: Pierre Thomas, Steve Gleeson. I mean, the list goes on
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: and on, and it was great to see so many
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: players over the weekend that actually went to Canton, Ohio
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: to celebrate Drew among others that couldn't make it and
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: talking about it on social media. I know you're running
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: you you know, so you're look running around twenty four seven?
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: You got more than one?

  Speaker 2: Oh sure, sure you Uh we we had you know,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: friends that would go and uh you know, I would.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I would try to get out and go with those
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: guys and guys and uh as often as possible. The we,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: of course were I had a couple of the big
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: games and and that was that was huge along the
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: way the Green Bay game that you know, and that
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: was that was a ton of fun. Uh So, yeah,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: we were able to get away now and then, uh
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: but you know, mostly just watching and hoping, uh hoping
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Drew would win. So that uh so we could see
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: a big smile on his face. Sure the week or
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: soon after, you know what was.
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: It like as as the Saints took off, So you
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: got to know him before he ever played a game,
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: and there was so much like it's interesting your story
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: in the city story was one of unrest. We don't
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: know what's going to happen, we don't know how this
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: is going to work. And Drew's coming off of an
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: injury in which he doesn't know if he's ever going
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: to be what he was.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: And so once he.
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: He realized he could do it right and play in
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: two thousand and six at a high level NFC championship
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: game all that, and then once y'all all realized that
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: the hey, we're going to come back and we're going
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: to have success and we're going to do this thing.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: What was it like three four five years later after
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: he had won a Lombardi Trophy and he was still
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: coming in Yield College in Johnny.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: You know, it was still the same attitude. Uh. You know,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: even after the Super Bowl, he's he had that uh,
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: that draw and you could still just see the energy
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: in him that it was a pursuit of of excellence
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: and and so you know, it really didn't change from
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: the moment I met in the intensity level you could
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: see in his eyes, the way he engaged uh in
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: the world that that just never changed. There was never
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: this relaxation of that that comes from uh. Oh I
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: already I've been there, done that. You know. The guy's
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: the guy's special intensity level special. And you know, I
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: thought in his speech he did an unbelievable job of
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: talking of giving a little bit of that progression. How
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: he learned over time, and I had never heard him
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: speak about that. I really appreciated the uh, you know,
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: the little piece about being in in film and deciding
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: to take full responsibility. Sure, wow, you know, but that tracks.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what I saw. Anim It was ultimate,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: uh ultimate level of intensity and focus. And I, oh,
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: I'm grateful that I got many moments with.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Him, you know, no doubt.
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: Johnny Blancher, owner of the ye Old College In restaurant
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: on Carlton, Drew Brees' favorite spot and they became friends.
• 38:31

  Speaker 5: Drew was just a regular guy when he would walk
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: in to Johnny's spot and stayed that way even through
