Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: With Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn. From carrying each other
- 0:08Speaker 1: to a natty to carrying each other on the air.
- 0:11Speaker 1: Live from the Raising Cane Studio.
- 0:19Speaker 2: It's Off the Bench.
- 0:19Speaker 3: Off the Bench.
- 0:25Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in.
- 0:27Speaker 4: Now we're number three of OTB here live from Rouse's
- 0:31Speaker 4: Burbank and Lee.
- 0:34Speaker 2: That rhymed, I think. Maybe. I don't know. I said
- 0:37Speaker 2: it earlier. It's always kind of strange how the road
- 0:41Speaker 2: names just try to like change here. Yeah, it is strange.
- 0:44Speaker 5: Yeah, because Lee goes to college. Lee goes to college,
- 0:47Speaker 5: but then also Lee goes to Brightside. Burbank goes to Seagans.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Yeah, it does. Turns into Segan. That's why I said
- 0:56Speaker 2: it earlier. You're like, what are you talking about?
- 0:58Speaker 4: I thought you were, like, giving a location for Rouse's
- 1:00Speaker 4: because you have my high there.
- 1:01Speaker 5: No, all of a sudden you, like, go down Burbank
- 1:03Speaker 5: and you make a turn over there by the soccer complex.
- 1:05Speaker 2: And it's Segan. Segan. I don't know if Rhodes can
- 1:08Speaker 2: do that. I don't know if they're supposed to. You
- 1:12Speaker 2: may really blow your mind. Okay. Brightside goes to Lee,
- 1:15Speaker 2: which goes to college. That's what I just said. I'm
- 1:19Speaker 2: just kidding.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Oh.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Hell yeah. Hell yeah, brother. I did see the mental
- 1:23Speaker 2: gymnastics of your head being like, wait. Wait a minute.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Hold on a second. What just happened here? It was
- 1:28Speaker 2: kind of like a Dylan Ryola kind of thing I
- 1:30Speaker 2: was trying to do. I guess it didn't land. It landed.
- 1:32Speaker 2: It landed. Yeah, for sure. Before we get to it.
- 1:35Speaker 2: That's what goes with starring. It does. Starring Motel. Shout out.
- 1:39Speaker 2: It's still there. It's still there. Whenever Dick Dixon used
- 1:43Speaker 2: to live over.
- 1:44Speaker 4: There and we'd go over there and be like, Imagine
- 1:48Speaker 4: going up to the front desk at the Starry Motel
- 1:51Speaker 4: and like, I'll take a room, please.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Take one. One room, please. And then they'd ask you,
- 1:56Speaker 2: how many hours? All right.
- 2:01Speaker 4: On that note, before we get to what's the ticket,
- 2:05Speaker 4: you got some numbers for the Green Bay Packers that
- 2:07Speaker 4: they should feel pretty good about.
- 2:09Speaker 2: All the Packer fans listening out there here in South Louisiana.
- 2:12Speaker 4: There actually might be some from Jim Taylor's days, you know.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Lil Wayne might be listening. Could be. Shout out Lil.
- 2:18Speaker 5: Okay, so I was looking, scrolling through the socials last night,
- 2:22Speaker 5: just doing a little doom scrolling before bedtime, trying to
- 2:24Speaker 5: get something to talk about, you know. Man, I crossed
- 2:27Speaker 5: a really depressing one. Packers this season, 32nd ranked offensive line,
- 2:35Speaker 5: 32nd in rushing yards, 32nd in third down conversions, 32nd
- 2:39Speaker 5: in completion percentage, 32nd in penalties, and 32nd in drops.
- 2:46Speaker 2: And that is a recipe... for maybe not the best offense.
- 2:50Speaker 2: You're right there. You're right there. I mean, you're so close.
- 2:51Speaker 2: A couple of adjustments. Two plays. Two plays away. Two
- 2:55Speaker 2: plays away. Absolutely.
- 2:56Speaker 5: Just a couple of plays. That is a rough start
- 3:00Speaker 5: for a team.
- 3:00Speaker 2: I mean, again, for, like, second year in a row,
- 3:04Speaker 2: so many people, Jordan Love MVP, Jordan Love MVP. And, like, look,
- 3:07Speaker 2: I get it.
- 3:08Speaker 5: It is hard to play quarterback with all that situation happening.
- 3:12Speaker 2: But he's not helping anything. And also, like, where he's
- 3:15Speaker 2: playing quarterback.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Oof.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Big Farvin Rogers did it for like two and a
- 3:19Speaker 2: half decades.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 3:21Speaker 4: It's like you, you have very high expectations. I mean,
- 3:25Speaker 4: I'm not telling anything you don't know. I mean, you,
- 3:27Speaker 4: you did the same thing there, but yeah, pretty much.
- 3:30Speaker 4: It's not like you're playing quarterback for the jets or
- 3:33Speaker 4: they haven't had a good one ever.
- 3:34Speaker 5: I know it's a, it's a weird thing probably for,
- 3:37Speaker 5: for Packers fans.
- 3:37Speaker 2: I get it. It's the second time this show and
- 3:39Speaker 2: nobody really cares besides me and maybe a handful of
- 3:41Speaker 2: other people out there, but I do. Yeah. And, um,
- 3:44Speaker 2: That's a tough look for any offense. Those are shocking stats.
- 3:48Speaker 4: Send that to me. I'm stealing that for later on today.
- 3:51Speaker 2: No, I didn't fact check it.
- 3:52Speaker 5: I just read it straight off the internet.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Somebody will fact check.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Of our callers on my afternoon show, and we take
- 3:59Speaker 4: about eight a day, I would say we're always going
- 4:02Speaker 4: to get at least two Packer fans.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Okay. They're good fans. Good people. Marler texted me last night. Chris? Yeah.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Talking trash.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Why?
- 4:12Speaker 2: Oh, he's a falcon. I was like, well, so what?
- 4:16Speaker 2: Packers have nicer people.
- 4:18Speaker 4: I'm just letting him know that I could have really
- 4:20Speaker 4: gone after him last week with South Carolina, Mississippi State,
- 4:23Speaker 4: and I didn't.
- 4:24Speaker 2: So tell him, don't be calling my friend or texting
- 4:26Speaker 2: my friend. Yeah, yeah. Saying trash. Yeah. Don't talk that trash.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Old fake school baseball playing. All right. Ask me about
- 4:36Speaker 2: my wiener. That's a deep cut.
- 4:40Speaker 4: All right, before we get to what's the ticket, I
- 4:42Speaker 4: want to remind you about our friends over at Bayou Automotive.

- 5:10Speaker 4: All right, it is time now to play the game
- 5:15Speaker 4: that is basically sweeping the nation.
- 5:17Speaker 2: The world. We're going worldwide? Oh, yeah. It is what's
- 5:22Speaker 2: the ticket.
- 5:23Speaker 4: And so we go across the top 25 and we
- 5:25Speaker 4: try to find the highest get in price and the
- 5:28Speaker 4: lowest get in price for a game.
- 5:30Speaker 2: And it has to involve at least.
- 5:32Speaker 4: One top 25 team in the country. And as we
- 5:37Speaker 4: always do, I give you a list of games and
- 5:40Speaker 4: then you give me which one you think is going
- 5:44Speaker 4: to be the winner or I guess I should say loser.
- 5:47Speaker 2: In that scenario. Now, we always throw it back to studio.
- 5:50Speaker 4: And do we want to start with high or low?
- 5:52Speaker 2: Low. All right, we'll go low.
- 5:53Speaker 4: Alondra and Tay-Tay, get ready. Here is the list of games.
- 5:57Speaker 4: Is it Sam Houston at Texas Tech? Is it Wake
- 6:02Speaker 4: Forest at Louisville? Is it Notre Dame at Purdue? Is
- 6:08Speaker 4: it Houston at Georgia Southern? Is it Missouri State at SMU?
- 6:15Speaker 4: Or is it Central Michigan at Miami? So Sam Houston,
- 6:19Speaker 4: Texas Tech, Wake and Louisville, Notre Dame and Purdue, Houston,
- 6:24Speaker 4: Georgia Southern, Missouri State, SMU, Central Michigan, Miami, Alondra and Tay-Tay.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Which game do you have?
- 6:32Speaker 6: I think I'm going to go with Houston, Georgia Southern.
- 6:37Speaker 7: I'm also going to Houston, Georgia Southern. In between that
- 6:40Speaker 7: or Louisville. But yeah, at Georgia Southern, they're also terrible.
- 6:44Speaker 7: So that makes sense.
- 6:49Speaker 5: I feel like y'all are forgetting the basics of this game.
- 6:53Speaker 5: If there's a game at Miami, it's Miami. So Central
- 6:57Speaker 5: Michigan at Miami. Final answer.
- 6:59Speaker 2: We'll start with the highest ticket.
- 7:01Speaker 4: Work our way ourselves down to the lowest ticket here.
- 7:07Speaker 2: All right.
- 7:07Speaker 4: So at $ 44, Missouri State at SMU. At $ 39, Notre
- 7:10Speaker 4: Dame at Purdue. At $ 35, it is Sam Houston at
- 7:21Speaker 4: Texas Tech. At $ 31, it's Houston at Georgia Southern. At $ 27,
- 7:33Speaker 4: it's Central Michigan at Miami.
- 7:35Speaker 2: No, there's no way. They were paying six bucks for
- 7:38Speaker 2: tickets last year.
- 7:39Speaker 4: And for $ 19, ding, ding, ding, it is Wake Forest
- 7:43Speaker 4: at Louisville.
- 7:44Speaker 2: Oh, man.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Man.
- 7:46Speaker 2: That was tricky. That was a tough one this week.
- 7:47Speaker 2: That was a tough one. That was a tough one.
- 7:50Speaker 2: The lowest was 2019? Yeah, $ 19.
- 7:53Speaker 5: That's pretty high for the lowest ticket price out there.
- 7:56Speaker 2: That's a big week. I guess we're getting a little
- 7:57Speaker 2: bit deeper, you know? No, this was like Miami was
- 8:02Speaker 2: good last year playing someone decent, and it was $ 6
- 8:05Speaker 2: to get in. More for a beer. I know. I'm
- 8:10Speaker 2: mad at that one. All right, so nobody got that one.
- 8:12Speaker 4: All right, let's go to the highest ticket in the country,
- 8:15Speaker 4: the get-in price for at least one top 25 team.
- 8:20Speaker 4: Is it Texas at Tennessee, Ole Miss at Florida, Texas
- 8:25Speaker 4: A & M at LSU, Missouri at Mississippi State, Oregon
- 8:31Speaker 4: at USC, or Oklahoma at Georgia? Texas, Tennessee, Ole Miss
- 8:38Speaker 4: and Florida, A & M and LSU, Missouri, Mississippi State, Oregon, USC, Oklahoma, Georgia,
- 8:45Speaker 4: Alondra and Tay-Tay.
- 8:48Speaker 6: This also feels like a tricky one.
- 8:50Speaker 8: Last week, you didn't put LSU, Ole Miss in there
- 8:52Speaker 8: because that was obviously the highest ticket. So by process
- 8:58Speaker 8: of elimination, I feel like that's not the highest one.
- 9:01Speaker 6: I think I'm going to go with Texas at Tennessee.
- 9:08Speaker 7: He had to go the same twice in a row,
- 9:10Speaker 7: but Texas, Tennessee, Arch going back, playing there in Tennessee.
- 9:14Speaker 7: Tennessee's got a lot of money over there as well.
- 9:16Speaker 7: They like to do the boat parade, college game day.
- 9:19Speaker 2: I think that's the answer. Two weeks ago, it was Texas. No,
- 9:29Speaker 2: that was the first week.
- 9:30Speaker 5: OSU or Ohio State, Texas. That was the highest of
- 9:33Speaker 5: that week, whichever week that was. I'm not going to
- 9:37Speaker 5: go with y'all. I'm going to go size the stadium,
- 9:39Speaker 5: plays a part here. I'm going to go with that.
- 9:41Speaker 2: Okay.
- 9:41Speaker 5: I'm going to say new head coach, a Heisman potential
- 9:51Speaker 5: winner coming to your hometown. Everybody's excited. They want to
- 9:55Speaker 5: get back. I'm going to go into the swamp. I'm
- 9:57Speaker 5: going to go Ole Miss of Florida.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Going chomp chomp? I'm not going to say that.
- 10:01Speaker 4: All right, we'll start with the lowest and work our
- 10:03Speaker 4: way to the highest ticket. The lowest in this group
- 10:06Speaker 4: and a little disappointing. You've got a ranked-on-ranked game. Why
- 10:11Speaker 4: is it not more expensive? At $ 38, Missouri at Mississippi State.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Wow. I know. Not a big stadium either. No.
- 10:20Speaker 4: Coming in at, let's see, $ 76, Oklahoma at Georgia.
- 10:28Speaker 2: Coming in at.
- 10:30Speaker 4: $ 77, Texas A & M at LSU.
- 10:35Speaker 2: It's upper left, upper right. It's upper right.
- 10:38Speaker 4: Coming in at $ 78, Oregon at USC.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Come on.
- 10:44Speaker 4: So somebody in the foxhole is going to be right.
- 10:49Speaker 2: We didn't go 0 for which is important. That is important.
- 10:54Speaker 4: Coming in at $ 188, Ole Miss at Florida. Winner, winner,
- 11:03Speaker 4: chicken dinner, back in studio. At $ 395, Texas at Tennessee.
- 11:07Speaker 4: That's 104,000 people in that stadium.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Cheapest ticket to get in right now, $ 395. So the
- 11:12Speaker 2: most expensive get-in price for the top 25 this week,
- 11:14Speaker 2: as a recap, Texas at Tennessee at $ 395.
- 11:15Speaker 4: The cheapest involving one top 25 team is Wake Forest
- 11:16Speaker 4: at Louisville, $ 19.
- 11:35Speaker 2: Get you into the game.
- 11:36Speaker 5: So at 104,000 butts in the stands, in the seats,
- 11:37Speaker 5: at the lowest of $ 395, there's going to be at
- 11:39Speaker 5: least $ 41, 080, 000 spent to see that game right there.
- 11:41Speaker 2: That's a pretty good number to add to the bottom line.
- 11:56Speaker 4: All right, we'll take a break, and when we come back,
- 11:58Speaker 4: we'll give you, hopefully Matt's locked in, we'll give you
- 12:01Speaker 4: the pontoon parlay.
- 12:03Speaker 2: We were three of four a week ago.
- 12:05Speaker 4: Look, you can put a single bet on all four
- 12:07Speaker 4: and then parlay them together if you want to so
- 12:10Speaker 4: Matt doesn't screw you up. But I feel good about
- 12:12Speaker 4: this week. Feel good about this week. We're going to
- 12:15Speaker 4: have four for four.
- 12:16Speaker 2: We're going to win. We're going to cash tickets.
- 12:19Speaker 4: Pontoon parlay when we come back here on OTB.

- 14:29Speaker 4: OTB here live from Rouse's. Burbank and Lee, come hang out,
- 14:34Speaker 4: come see us. We'll be here for a couple of
- 14:36Speaker 4: more segments.
- 14:37Speaker 2: We just had What's the Ticket?
- 14:39Speaker 4: And now it is time for the old pontoon parlay.
- 14:44Speaker 4: We hit it once this year when it was all
- 14:46Speaker 4: four of us. Now, anytime we try to add a
- 14:48Speaker 4: fifth leg, it doesn't.
- 14:49Speaker 2: Work well, okay?
- 14:50Speaker 4: But our stats for when it's just been four, seven right,
- 14:56Speaker 4: one wrong.
- 14:56Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. It's pretty good. Yep. Pretty good analytics there.
- 15:00Speaker 5: Yeah, last week we should have been A-0.
- 15:04Speaker 2: Should have been.
- 15:05Speaker 5: Bill Belichick, I blame you. You absolutely blew it. And
- 15:10Speaker 5: your air-licking son getting kicked off didn't help.
- 15:18Speaker 2: Oh, God. That pissed me off. I was like, because
- 15:19Speaker 2: first half, I was like, oh, man, this is easy.
- 15:21Speaker 2: Next one.
- 15:22Speaker 5: Next one up on the parlay. Who's going to screw
- 15:24Speaker 5: it up?
- 15:24Speaker 4: I know.
- 15:24Speaker 2: I did, too. I didn't think it was going to
- 15:26Speaker 2: be me that week.
- 15:27Speaker 5: It was definitely you. Won't be me this week, though.
- 15:29Speaker 5: Promise you that.
- 15:30Speaker 2: All right.
- 15:30Speaker 4: Let's throw it back into the Raising Cane Studio.
- 15:35Speaker 2: Downtown Baton Rouge. Alondra. Blake Space. Villareal. And Taylor Sharp.
- 15:40Speaker 6: So, I'm between two here, and I really can't decide.
- 15:43Speaker 8: But I think what I'm going to go with is
- 15:47Speaker 8: we're going to go to Knoxville, and I'm going to
- 15:48Speaker 8: take Tennessee to cover plus four and a half.
- 15:52Speaker 6: Home field advantage.
- 15:53Speaker 8: Texas, you know, I know is the number one team
- 15:56Speaker 8: in the country at the time, but struggled against Ohio State,
- 16:00Speaker 8: put up some points versus.
- 16:01Speaker 6: UTSA, but whatever.
- 16:02Speaker 8: So I'm going to give the home field advantage to Tennessee.
- 16:05Speaker 8: I don't know if they win it, but I will
- 16:07Speaker 8: give them plus four and a half.
- 16:12Speaker 2: All right, we're going to go.
- 16:13Speaker 7: We're going to stay in the SEC. Auburn versus Vanderbilt.
- 16:17Speaker 7: Vanderbilt getting nine and a half points in this game. Now,
- 16:20Speaker 7: neither team has looked great up to this point. Vanderbilt
- 16:23Speaker 7: is three and oh, how about this though? Vandy that
- 16:26Speaker 7: plus nine and a half line. They've covered that in
- 16:29Speaker 7: 10 consecutive games, including 17 of the last 20. Auburn
- 16:33Speaker 7: as a nine and a half point favorites. They have
- 16:35Speaker 7: not covered that eight of their last 10. So I
- 16:38Speaker 7: am going to go with the Commodores. Both teams like
- 16:40Speaker 7: to run the ball. Very similar styles. I think it's
- 16:43Speaker 7: a close game, but I'm going to take Vandy plus
- 16:45Speaker 7: nine and a half against Oliver.
- 16:50Speaker 2: All right. All right. I like those.
- 16:52Speaker 4: You know what I really love about Alondra's picks every
- 16:54Speaker 4: single week, and she hits way more than she doesn't.
- 16:58Speaker 4: She goes for the big game. She doesn't shy away
- 17:00Speaker 4: from it. She does not shy away from the big game,
- 17:03Speaker 4: which I really appreciate. Sometimes I'll try to find an
- 17:05Speaker 4: obscure American game or a Sunbelt game.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Alondra's like the hell with it.
- 17:09Speaker 4: I'm going biggest game of the week, and I appreciate that.
- 17:12Speaker 4: So Tennessee plus four and a half. Vanderbilt for Tay-Tay
- 17:16Speaker 4: on the road against the Auburn Tigers plus nine and
- 17:19Speaker 4: a half.
- 17:20Speaker 2: What do we have, Matthew, Clayton, Lynn? Oh, man.
- 17:23Speaker 5: For whatever reason, I'm looking at these. This has been
- 17:25Speaker 5: a little tough for me. If Florida was two and
- 17:30Speaker 5: a half, I would take them.
- 17:32Speaker 2: But they're not. I was thinking about going to Ole Miss.
- 17:34Speaker 2: They're three and a half.
- 17:35Speaker 5: Well, I think that's a pretty good line. It makes
- 17:39Speaker 5: you think a lot. I'm going to go with my
- 17:42Speaker 5: heart on this one and what I've seen in the history.
- 17:47Speaker 5: There ain't no team. I don't care.
- 17:49Speaker 2: Like you said it earlier, this is 72 Dolphins.
- 17:51Speaker 5: It just strolls into West Lafayette, Indiana and takes on
- 17:55Speaker 5: Purdue at home as a 27 and a half point favorite.
- 17:59Speaker 5: Notre Dame rolling up there as a big time favorite.
- 18:03Speaker 2: Yeah. You don't like this. I'm just listening.
- 18:07Speaker 5: They're probably going to win by 27. I'm going to
- 18:09Speaker 5: take Purdue Boiler Beggars plus 27.5 against Notre Dame.
- 18:12Speaker 2: All right. I hate.
- 18:16Speaker 4: It.
- 18:18Speaker 2: I hate it. Purdue's so bad. Y'all hate it. That's
- 18:23Speaker 2: a good sign, I feel like. Purdue, how many points
- 18:28Speaker 2: are you getting there? 27.5. 27.5. And a half. And
- 18:34Speaker 2: where's this game at? Ross-Ade Stadium. Okay. All right. I'm
- 18:43Speaker 2: just writing it down here. Make sure I'm putting your
- 18:45Speaker 2: name by it as well. Okay. Wow, big Notre Dame
- 18:48Speaker 2: fans around here. No, this is more Purdue than anything. Well,
- 18:52Speaker 2: this is the week. Purdue.
- 18:54Speaker 4: Their quarterback's close. He just got slowed down a little bit.
- 18:59Speaker 4: He has known for like 1,000 yards already. All right,
- 19:03Speaker 4: so I'm stuck between two games. I wanted to go
- 19:06Speaker 4: Ole Miss to cover, but I don't know that I
- 19:10Speaker 4: can do it. I want to because I think they are.
- 19:14Speaker 4: But that feels so stinky. It feels like the stinkiest
- 19:17Speaker 4: line maybe in the country.
- 19:20Speaker 2: So, with that being said, I'm going to another stinky line. Okay? Okay.
- 19:25Speaker 2: I am going to.
- 19:26Speaker 4: Go with the Iowa Hawkeyes– on the road against the
- 19:31Speaker 4: Michigan Wolverines to cover the five and a half.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Iowa right now is three and oh.
- 19:38Speaker 4: We know what kind of defense are going to play
- 19:41Speaker 4: I'm not saying they win the game but I do
- 19:45Speaker 4: fully believe that they cover this and Michigan's going to
- 19:48Speaker 4: have a really hard time putting up any points against
- 19:51Speaker 4: them in three games I was giving up 13 points
- 19:54Speaker 4: in three games I was actually better offensively than they
- 19:58Speaker 4: have been in a long time like they have a
- 20:00Speaker 4: functional offense that is not stuck in the stone age
- 20:04Speaker 4: I honestly think they win the game outright I'm not
- 20:06Speaker 4: calling for that I'm not putting that in the parlay
- 20:09Speaker 4: but you're giving me five and a half points. This
- 20:11Speaker 4: line should be one and a half for Michigan, not
- 20:13Speaker 4: five and a half.
- 20:15Speaker 2: I feel really.
- 20:15Speaker 4: Confident about Iowa plus five and a half on the
- 20:19Speaker 4: road against Michigan.
- 20:20Speaker 5: 38 and a half is the number, too, on that
- 20:22Speaker 5: one for the over-under.
- 20:24Speaker 4: It's going to be just an old-school three yards and
- 20:27Speaker 4: a cloud of dust game, no doubt.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Be still my forever beating heart. You love those two, right?
- 20:34Speaker 2: Love it. All right, let's give a... I feel so
- 20:37Speaker 2: good about my pick.
- 20:39Speaker 4: Let's give– you're trying to justify it in your head now.
- 20:41Speaker 2: I don't know. All right. We got all dogs. All dogs.
- 20:47Speaker 4: We got Tennessee plus four and a half versus Texas.
- 20:51Speaker 4: We've got Vanderbilt plus nine and a half at Auburn.
- 20:54Speaker 4: We've got Purdue plus 27 and a half versus Notre Dame.
- 20:58Speaker 4: And we've got the Iowa Hawkeyes plus five and a
- 21:01Speaker 4: half at Michigan.
- 21:03Speaker 2: Hmm.
- 21:09Speaker 6: I love our three-pig pontoon parlay this week.
- 21:11Speaker 2: Who are we kicking out? Who are we throwing out there? Tennessee?
- 21:18Speaker 2: I hate your pick. Thank you. I hate everything about
- 21:21Speaker 2: your pick. Great. I love it.
- 21:24Speaker 4: Purdue's going to lose by 42.
- 21:29Speaker 2: Fine. I hope they don't. If you cost us two
- 21:32Speaker 2: weeks in a row, there's got to be consequences. What's
- 21:34Speaker 2: the consequence? I don't know. What if I miss and
- 21:37Speaker 2: somebody else misses? Then we'll just move on because we
- 21:41Speaker 2: didn't do two weeks in a row. What if I'm
- 21:42Speaker 2: the only one that gets it right? Then there's consequences
- 21:45Speaker 2: for y'all. Sure. Perfect. Yeah. Purdue. I didn't know you're
- 21:52Speaker 2: a big Notre Dame guy. I'm not, but Purdue. Let's see.
- 21:56Speaker 4: Purdue gave up 52 to UCLA.
- 21:59Speaker 2: Okay. Good team. Good team. Are they? Have you seen
- 22:05Speaker 2: Marcus Freeman's hairline? Yeah, I have. He's too handsome to
- 22:08Speaker 2: do all that. He stopped. Did he? He did. No,
- 22:11Speaker 2: he didn't. He did. He caught himself out and stopped.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Did he admit it? He did. Chest pat? He did. No,
- 22:16Speaker 2: he didn't. I swear to God. He didn't have that
- 22:17Speaker 2: in him. He did.
- 22:19Speaker 4: I think his family members probably told him that he
- 22:22Speaker 4: couldn't go out there again like that.
- 22:24Speaker 2: And he listened. He watched the tape. The cameras they
- 22:26Speaker 2: have are high def. But the crazy part was, like,
- 22:31Speaker 2: you really didn't have to. Yeah, it's a little thin,
- 22:34Speaker 2: but you're good. But, like, if you're going to do it,
- 22:37Speaker 2: do it well.
- 22:38Speaker 1: True.
- 22:40Speaker 2: You're the head coach of Notre Dame. Yeah, you can
- 22:41Speaker 2: get something. You make like $ 10 million a year probably. Yeah.
- 22:43Speaker 2: You can get the expensive barber. Yeah. You can get
- 22:48Speaker 2: some fibers or something and shake them in there. You
- 22:50Speaker 2: ain't got to DIY this thing. That's very DIY looking. Mm-hmm.
- 22:55Speaker 2: For a good-looking guy. I know. You didn't have to
- 22:58Speaker 2: do all that. Good-looking guy. Yeah.
- 23:01Speaker 4: I hope he's not looking good on the sidelines because
- 23:02Speaker 4: he's only winning by 24 against Purdue this weekend.
- 23:04Speaker 2: Who blamed his players for sitting out of the game.
- 23:08Speaker 4: All right, that is the pontoon parlay. Again, one last time.
- 23:11Speaker 4: Tennessee plus 4.5 versus Texas. Vanderbilt plus 9.5 at Auburn.
- 23:15Speaker 4: Purdue plus 27.5 versus Notre Dame. And Iowa plus 5.5
- 23:19Speaker 4: at Michigan.
- 23:21Speaker 2: All right, we will step away.

- 25:59Speaker 2: All right. Matthew Clayton Flynn.
- 26:03Speaker 4: You gave us some Packers stats that you said you
- 26:05Speaker 4: and maybe, you know, some Jim Taylor fans, which I'm
- 26:08Speaker 4: one of those, might actually, you know, want.
- 26:11Speaker 2: To hear because it's the Packers. Me and Lil Wayne.
- 26:13Speaker 2: You also mentioned Lil Wayne?
- 26:15Speaker 4: Lil. Lil.
- 26:16Speaker 2: Lil Wayne. But you have a stat now that I
- 26:19Speaker 2: think All of our listeners are going to want to hear.
- 26:22Speaker 5: I told you all last week when I gave my
- 26:25Speaker 5: QB rankings that, sure, he didn't make my initial top
- 26:27Speaker 5: ten for week one, but I still buck.
- 26:31Speaker 2: Buck, if you shuck, or is it the other way around?
- 26:34Speaker 2: Can't remember. Tyler Shuck is playing really. Either one plays.
- 26:38Speaker 2: I think it all plays. If you don't give a damn,
- 26:41Speaker 2: we don't give a shuck. Yes, that one's very good.
- 26:44Speaker 2: Tyler Shuck playing very, very good football, specifically in the
- 26:49Speaker 2: second half. But let's just take the first half. It's
- 26:53Speaker 2: part of the equation here.
- 26:55Speaker 5: They are playing historically bad in the first half and
- 26:57Speaker 5: historically great in the second half. And to just wrap
- 26:59Speaker 5: this up and tell you a little stat that I
- 27:01Speaker 5: saw yesterday that's floating around, Tyler Shuck, first player in
- 27:06Speaker 5: NFL history to have 3,000-plus passing yards with a 67%
- 27:12Speaker 5: completion percentage through his first 13 games.
- 27:16Speaker 2: That's not first two games.
- 27:19Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the first 13 games. That's a good body
- 27:24Speaker 5: of work right there. That's not just a flash-in-the-pan situation.
- 27:27Speaker 5: And that is with the whole team playing very poorly
- 27:31Speaker 5: in the first half. So he is playing exceptionally well
- 27:37Speaker 5: and has been a guy that we keep talking about
- 27:39Speaker 5: how you win because of.
- 27:44Speaker 2: He's that type of quarterback. He's the type of guy
- 27:46Speaker 2: that elevates everybody around him.
- 27:47Speaker 5: You've got guys playing. You've got Jawan Johnson. When somebody
- 27:51Speaker 5: else throws the ball, it looks like he's got two
- 27:53Speaker 5: shields on his hand. He's playing with feet attached to
- 27:56Speaker 5: his wrists. The boy got feet for hands.
- 27:59Speaker 2: He does. I'm telling you. But all of a sudden,
- 28:01Speaker 2: you put Chuck in there. My God.
- 28:03Speaker 5: He's dynamic. He elevates people around him. And this stat
- 28:08Speaker 5: kind of proves a little bit of, you know, what
- 28:11Speaker 5: we're seeing. The first guy in NFL history. Now, I
- 28:13Speaker 5: know it's very specific, like the very, you know, was
- 28:15Speaker 5: there somebody with 66% completion and 3,000-plus yards?
- 28:19Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe. I don't know.
- 28:20Speaker 5: I don't know that stat. But this is the stat
- 28:22Speaker 5: that I saw, and it is very impressive. So, he's
- 28:25Speaker 5: doing things at a very high level. So, Saints fans,
- 28:28Speaker 5: feel really good about what you got under center. I
- 28:32Speaker 5: don't care what you say about a poor man, Josh Allen.
- 28:35Speaker 5: Whatever it is, he is a– He's our.
- 28:40Speaker 2: Guy, Tyler Shook. You were trying to find an analogy there.
- 28:43Speaker 2: I was trying to find an analogy, and I just couldn't.
- 28:45Speaker 2: He's our Josh Allen. He's our Josh Allen. How about that?
- 28:47Speaker 2: He's our unicorn. Not a poor man's Josh Allen. He's
- 28:50Speaker 2: an everyman Tyler Shook. I don't know. He's our unicorn.
- 28:54Speaker 2: He's our unicorn. He's a Bayou unicorn. Except he's real.
- 29:00Speaker 2: Do you think unicorns ever existed? There's a strong possibility
- 29:04Speaker 2: that maybe. A strong possibility that maybe. Potentially. We don't know.
- 29:09Speaker 2: Next to the dragons. We're old, but we're not that old. Sure.
- 29:12Speaker 2: Dragons for sure. Dragons for sure. Yeah.
- 29:14Speaker 5: I mean, the earth's old. You don't know what happened
- 29:17Speaker 5: to those bones. Dragon bones might disintegrate.
- 29:19Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 29:19Speaker 2: You know? Who knows? Yeah. Can't prove otherwise.
- 29:25Speaker 4: You're not going to convince somebody with the nickname dragon
- 29:27Speaker 4: that dragons didn't exist. Mm-hmm.
- 29:29Speaker 2: That ain't going to happen. No. I agree. But Tyler
- 29:36Speaker 2: Shock does exist. I was about to say. You stole
- 29:38Speaker 2: it from me. I nailed it? You nailed it. it
- 29:40Speaker 2: he's not fictional really.
- 29:42Speaker 4: Though i mean for as long as you've kind of
- 29:44Speaker 4: been in the desert looking for uh you know a
- 29:47Speaker 4: star since true breeze not just a quarterback.
- 29:49Speaker 2: It actually it's not it hadn't been that long no
- 29:52Speaker 2: no no i mean but.
- 29:54Speaker 4: When you have a window that's open as long as
- 29:57Speaker 4: Drew Brees and Sean Payton kept that window open, when
- 30:00Speaker 4: you don't have it anymore, I can understand how Saints
- 30:03Speaker 4: fans feel like it's been 20 years.
- 30:06Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 30:07Speaker 4: Because for, what, Matt, 15 years, you were, like, in
- 30:13Speaker 4: the conversation. Even if you went 8-8 a year, like,
- 30:15Speaker 4: you had moments where it was like you're still in
- 30:17Speaker 4: the conversation.
- 30:18Speaker 2: Yeah. You just, like, you wanted a star. It was
- 30:22Speaker 2: an exciting 8-8. It was. And I think, like, you
- 30:25Speaker 2: have now gotten a true star.
- 30:27Speaker 4: Even, like, Chris Oliva, who should be viewed as a star, like,
- 30:30Speaker 4: doesn't get that same respect that other receivers get. And
- 30:35Speaker 4: he's been incredible. He's had, you know, 1,000-yard years, three
- 30:40Speaker 4: out of the last four. And everybody's like, yeah, but
- 30:42Speaker 4: he's not big.
- 30:43Speaker 2: It's like, yes, continue? What's it matter?
- 30:48Speaker 4: And I used to get so mad about this, like,
- 30:49Speaker 4: other players. Like, when I played with Darren Sproles, I'm like, dude,
- 30:51Speaker 4: if you bring up his size, I'm going to put
- 30:53Speaker 4: some powder in my hand and slap the shoot out
- 30:55Speaker 4: of you.
- 30:56Speaker 2: Say it.
- 30:57Speaker 3: You won't.
- 30:57Speaker 2: I won't do. I don't want to get fined for
- 30:59Speaker 2: chugging a beer. Yeah, you'll get fined. You know what
- 31:03Speaker 2: I mean? Like, no, he's a good player.
- 31:04Speaker 4: Like, so I think people are finally giving themselves over
- 31:06Speaker 4: to that, that portion of it, the Chris Alave portion.
- 31:09Speaker 4: But now he's got a star to throw him the football,
- 31:12Speaker 4: make him look better.
- 31:13Speaker 2: He was already.
- 31:14Speaker 4: He was good with bad quarterbacks. Chris Alave said it.
- 31:17Speaker 4: We finally beat a good team.
- 31:18Speaker 2: I mean, that's the thing. So that's the reality of
- 31:23Speaker 2: the New Orleans Saints. You have to force people to
- 31:28Speaker 2: recognize you. Yeah.
- 31:29Speaker 5: I don't care how individually good you are. If your
- 31:31Speaker 5: team in New Orleans, at least, if your team's not
- 31:34Speaker 5: doing well. you're not going to get recognized.
- 31:37Speaker 7: Right.
- 31:38Speaker 5: Maybe a little bit. Maybe if you do something like
- 31:39Speaker 5: super really special. But, like, if you just are not
- 31:43Speaker 5: a big, dominant, physically present receiver and you still catch
- 31:47Speaker 5: for a lot of yards, you're still not going to
- 31:48Speaker 5: get that recognition unless your team is winning. Tyler Shuck,
- 31:52Speaker 5: the same way we talked about it this week, just
- 31:54Speaker 5: from the lack of respect that.
- 31:56Speaker 2: He was getting going into this season.
- 31:58Speaker 5: Now, albeit, like, to the credit or to defend the
- 32:02Speaker 5: national people a little bit, there's a small sample size there.
- 32:06Speaker 5: That's just as big as Jackson Dart was. So, like,
- 32:10Speaker 5: why was there such? Yeah, exactly. So, I can even
- 32:15Speaker 5: say the same thing a little bit about Cam Ward, too. Like,
- 32:17Speaker 5: he's underappreciated, I think, as well. Now, they're further into
- 32:21Speaker 5: the abyss than the Saints are.
- 32:23Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:24Speaker 5: But you have to, for the New Orleans Saints, you
- 32:26Speaker 5: got to force people to talk about you. Now, they
- 32:28Speaker 5: will if you keep winning. I promise you, Chris Alave
- 32:31Speaker 5: is going to get his flowers from everybody. Tyler Shuck
- 32:34Speaker 5: is starting to get that for people. Now people are
- 32:37Speaker 5: jumping on. The national people are now. Starting to say, hey,
- 32:41Speaker 5: I know something you don't know. Tyler Shook's good. Now
- 32:44Speaker 5: they're saying it.
- 32:45Speaker 2: Yeah. Nah. You can't have him now. I know something
- 32:47Speaker 2: you don't know. That's right. You can't have him now. No,
- 32:50Speaker 2: we knew that. We knew that. You just didn't want
- 32:52Speaker 2: to give yourself over to her for whatever reason. I
- 32:54Speaker 2: heard the morning show on the national I'm talking about.
- 32:56Speaker 2: He's like, watch out for this guy, Tyler Shook. Now,
- 32:59Speaker 2: I'm telling you, a lot of people don't talk about him.
- 33:01Speaker 2: They just now started to learn how to say his name.
- 33:03Speaker 2: I know. They don't buck. There's Tyler Shook. I'm like.
- 33:07Speaker 5: Who credentialed you? Those dudes do not buck. Don't try
- 33:12Speaker 5: to buck now.
- 33:13Speaker 4: I feel like there's like a really good t-shirt idea
- 33:16Speaker 4: here about this.
- 33:17Speaker 2: There's lots of them. Do you buck? Is that it? Yeah.
- 33:22Speaker 2: Or just buck? How are you going to spell it?
- 33:26Speaker 2: Like I would his last name maybe. Okay. You know,
- 33:29Speaker 2: but just with a B instead of an S. Okay. Maybe.
- 33:32Speaker 2: I got to think about this.
- 33:33Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 33:35Speaker 5: I wonder what George Paul Thomas would say.
- 33:37Speaker 2: I think that's the shirt. That's the shirt? Just question mark.
- 33:42Speaker 2: Do you buck? Do you buck? Question mark. Yeah. Maybe with, like,
- 33:45Speaker 2: a six on there somewhere, just so you kind of know.
- 33:48Speaker 2: There's low-hanging fruit there. Yeah.
- 33:52Speaker 5: Like a shuck you situation. Like, there's low-hanging fruit with
- 33:56Speaker 5: his last name. Don't take the low-hanging fruit.
- 34:00Speaker 2: Yeah. It's beneath us. That's fair. So, but, like, buck,
- 34:03Speaker 2: question mark. I like that. We can print them. We
- 34:06Speaker 2: can sell tens of them. Tens of them. Where are
- 34:12Speaker 2: the other nine coming from?
- 34:18Speaker 5: We're going to have to price them high to get
- 34:19Speaker 5: our money back before we can sell ten.
- 34:21Speaker 2: Very true, yeah. We've got to make it chic. 180 bucks.
- 34:24Speaker 2: Act like it's very high fabric. We'll get there. It's
- 34:29Speaker 2: 110% cotton. No, nobody wants a 100% cotton shirt. They
- 34:34Speaker 2: certainly don't want a 110% cotton shirt. Nobody wants that.
- 34:38Speaker 2: The giveaway shirts? Yeah, I'm not a big giveaway shirt guy.
- 34:41Speaker 4: A giveaway shirt is going to be a square that
- 34:45Speaker 4: starts to death.
- 34:47Speaker 2: It's not going to fit anybody. It's not going to
- 34:49Speaker 2: be flattering on anybody. It's not pre-dried either.
- 34:51Speaker 4: No.

- 35:09Speaker 5: closet for years. And then one day I'm going to
- 35:12Speaker 5: clean it out. I'm like, why do I still have
- 35:13Speaker 5: this in my closet? I'm going to throw it away.
- 35:14Speaker 5: Don't put that on me. And I'm not going to

- 39:51Speaker 2: about it later.
- 39:53Speaker 4: Some people questioned in your bandwagon this year.
- 39:58Speaker 2: Why?
- 39:58Speaker 4: Because you didn't have him in your initial top ten
- 40:01Speaker 4: quarterback rankings and all of a sudden here you are,
- 40:03Speaker 4: number six, talking about Chuck if you buck.
- 40:07Speaker 2: I told y'all before that that I bucked.
- 40:11Speaker 5: I don't think I've ever said one disparaging word against him.
- 40:14Speaker 2: Friend of the show, actually. I saved his life.
- 40:17Speaker 5: You're telling me that I don't buck after I saved
- 40:19Speaker 5: the man's life?
- 40:21Speaker 2: Yes.
- 40:23Speaker 8: Wow.
- 40:25Speaker 2: Sorry, guys. If it wasn't for me, I might not
- 40:29Speaker 2: be playing right now. Credit to myself. Hashtag ask the bench.
- 40:36Speaker 4: Do we all agree that Hester's OTB-ism for the game
- 40:39Speaker 4: broadcast this week needs to be Let me make my
- 40:43Speaker 4: wrongs right in a boys-to-men style bass voice.
- 40:46Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, girl. I don't know if I can do
- 40:50Speaker 2: the voice. I don't know if I can do the voice.
- 40:53Speaker 2: I will get in.
- 40:54Speaker 4: Let me make my wrongs right.
- 40:56Speaker 2: I will get that in. That's actually not that hard.
- 41:00Speaker 4: I'll spin it into, like, you know, the defense wants
- 41:04Speaker 4: to make their wrongs right. I'll find a way. I
- 41:07Speaker 4: don't know if I can do the bass voice. I
- 41:08Speaker 4: will try. I'll think about it, and I'll try to
- 41:11Speaker 4: get that in.
- 41:12Speaker 2: Wow, man. What? Can't do the bass voice? I mean,
- 41:16Speaker 2: it'd be kind of awkward. Like, Chris has got the voice. Like, he's,
- 41:19Speaker 2: that's his name. Like, people call him voice. Like, what's up, voice? Hey, Chris. Like,
- 41:23Speaker 2: I don't have that.
- 41:25Speaker 1: Okay.
- 41:25Speaker 4: I mean, if I did, it wouldn't be authentic.
- 41:28Speaker 2: Maybe it would be if it was a little deeper.
- 41:30Speaker 2: It wouldn't be authentic, though. I'll try. Hashtag ask the bench.
- 41:38Speaker 4: Did anyone else see T-Bob playing DB and get cooked
- 41:43Speaker 4: by a female receiver from Team USA flag football on
- 41:47Speaker 4: Tuesday night?
- 41:49Speaker 2: I did not. I mean, it's not. I did not.
- 41:53Speaker 2: It's not shocking.
- 41:53Speaker 4: I was about to say, I see a lot of stuff.
- 41:56Speaker 2: But I.
- 41:59Speaker 4: Remember there was one time. I don't remember. I don't
- 42:02Speaker 4: remember where we were, but. He was trying to cover Memphis,
- 42:05Speaker 4: and Memphis was beating him. And then T-Bob kind of got, like,
- 42:08Speaker 4: a little mad.
- 42:09Speaker 2: He's like, all right. And he was, like, trying to
- 42:11Speaker 2: lock up Memphis.
- 42:12Speaker 4: And Memphis ran what we call a swag route and, like,
- 42:15Speaker 4: left T-Bob standing still.
- 42:17Speaker 2: Nice. Went by him.
- 42:19Speaker 4: So, I've seen, at the time, probably eight-year-old Memphis Hester
- 42:22Speaker 4: routing him up.
- 42:23Speaker 2: Yeah. So, it's not very surprising. Yeah. I mean, and
- 42:26Speaker 2: he was a lineman. Yeah. And he's nearing the age
- 42:28Speaker 2: of 40. So, I mean, it's. I'm glad that we
- 42:33Speaker 2: got some good players up playing for us. USA. USA.
- 42:37Speaker 2: Next y'all are going to say I don't like USA
- 42:39Speaker 2: for some reason. No, you're not Taylor. Mr. Big inside
- 42:42Speaker 2: the chat here.
- 42:44Speaker 4: Jake, you didn't have to have Bijan win fantasy against
- 42:47Speaker 4: me on Thursday. I would have loved to have had
- 42:49Speaker 4: a chance. I have Bijan in every league that I'm in.
- 42:53Speaker 2: Every league. I will not apologize for Bijan Robinson. No,
- 42:59Speaker 2: you shouldn't. Huck at him too.
- 43:04Speaker 4: Apparently T-Bob trucked somebody in flag football the same night.
- 43:10Speaker 2: Were y'all seeing this? Was this on TV? Did you
- 43:14Speaker 2: see it? I don't know. I didn't find it's way
- 43:17Speaker 2: in front of me. I don't know. Does that mean
- 43:21Speaker 2: he trucked a female? That's what I'm at. I hope not.
- 43:29Speaker 4: Easy E landed in Houston on my way to San Antonio.
- 43:33Speaker 2: Well, safe landing. Congratulations. You're in Aggieland. Be careful. Keep
- 43:36Speaker 2: your head on swivel. Hey, maybe you can go see
- 43:42Speaker 2: the runner's up trophy in San Antonio.
- 43:47Speaker 6: You're just saying that because you're not in the studio.
- 43:50Speaker 2: No. There we go.
- 43:53Speaker 1: Ha, ha, ha.
- 43:57Speaker 4: Barstool after dark stream on YouTube. I don't know what
- 44:00Speaker 4: that is either.
- 44:01Speaker 2: Shoot. We need to step our game up. We really do.
- 44:04Speaker 2: It's bad.
- 44:06Speaker 4: This one's probably for Alondra. Hashtag ask the bench. What
- 44:09Speaker 4: should I eat in San Antonio?
- 44:15Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 44:16Speaker 6: There's so much stuff to eat there.
- 44:17Speaker 2: Good answer. Hell yeah. All right. Cheddar's. All right.
- 44:30Speaker 5: Dude, I can't wait. I'm fired up right now. I'm
- 44:33Speaker 5: trying to take some mental reps of working that chain tonight.
- 44:36Speaker 2: Yeah. I wonder if I'm going to be the first
- 44:37Speaker 2: down marker or maybe like.
- 44:41Speaker 4: Are you going to stretch it and maybe break a
- 44:43Speaker 4: chain if you're a little short on the first down?
- 44:45Speaker 2: I'm hoping I get called out there to do a measurement.
- 44:48Speaker 2: That would be awesome. I don't know if I remember
- 44:50Speaker 2: seeing that in high school recently. I feel like if
- 44:53Speaker 2: it's pretty close, they just give them the first down.
- 44:56Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 44:56Speaker 2: That would be exciting. I want to go out there.
- 44:58Speaker 2: I want to have to run to the hash or
- 44:59Speaker 2: the numbers.
- 45:00Speaker 4: Apparently, Flynn has negative points in fantasy this week so
- 45:04Speaker 4: far after one game.
- 45:06Speaker 2: Yeah, I played the Packers D. Ooh. Not a great move.
- 45:11Speaker 2: They got the D. Favorite Tex-Mex dish. Ask the bench.
- 45:15Speaker 2: Favorite Tex-Mex dish. The next one. Yeah, that's all good. Yeah,
- 45:21Speaker 2: Tex-Mex is, like, my favorite. Yeah. I don't think there's
- 45:27Speaker 2: anything bad, really, unless it's beans. I love beans. Any
- 45:32Speaker 2: kind of beans. We had a big quesadilla talk yesterday,
- 45:36Speaker 2: I believe. That was two days ago. Two days ago.
- 45:38Speaker 2: They run together a little bit. I like a little
- 45:42Speaker 2: deconstructed situation, too. Why don't you like beans? Because they're gross.
- 45:50Speaker 2: They serve no point. Fantastic. It's a great protein, actually.
- 45:54Speaker 2: No fat high protein. No, it's not, actually. Black beans?
- 45:58Speaker 2: You want me to go get the can from Rouse's?
- 46:01Speaker 2: But they're not great. No, they're elite. All right. Ask
- 46:05Speaker 2: the bench. Matt with his pointer.
- 46:06Speaker 4: I feel like I'm back in high school waiting for
- 46:08Speaker 4: him to start beating on this sleeping student's desk.
- 46:17Speaker 2: Last one. Favorite beans. I like red beans. I like
- 46:21Speaker 2: black beans probably my favorite, if I'm being honest, though.
