  Speaker 4: very glad that we are here in the comfort of
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: our own home state, home city, and the comfort of
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: this radio station. Right now. We complain about traffic a
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: lot sometimes here in the capital city. It's a lot
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: road systems I wouldn't say are strong to quite strong.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: A lot of people, a lot of people got to
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: get places. But we should be very thankful that we
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: are not a Knicks fan in New York City. Two
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: day they're having their celebration parade, the Knicks on a
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: historical run for them. Jake actually is he actually there
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: was the whole He's a liar. He's a liar.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: He's in New York.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: He's in New York City, always known. He's a love
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: New York City. They're having their celebration parade today. And now,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: like most big cities and most like professional sports, they're
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: like they're split right though. Usually the fan base fan
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: bases are a lot of times split again again, Baseball
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: you got the Yankees, you got the Mets, and like
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: la you got all sorts of things. Like there's usually
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: fan bases and they don't like each other. But it
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: seems like in basketball, like most of New York is
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: a Knicks fan. So like this is a huge city obviously,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: and it brings everybody. I think the Knicks brought everybody together,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: galvanized the fan base. I mean everybody there was excited.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: So they're all excited to get to the parade and celebrate.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: You know, New York City loves a parade. My got
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: like a million of them lined up for the Macy's parade.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: They line up for in Times Square. You got people
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: at the New Year's events that have to come and
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: that you can't leave. You got to put a diaper on. Yeah,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: grown grown ass adults putting diapers on just to watch
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: a ball drop. How many diapers are being worn today
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: in New York City. The lines. This looks like if
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: I had to picture, you know, outside of like pain,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: being some sort of painful situation, war situation, Outside of
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: those things like this is what my hell would be
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: is being stuck side to side with total strangers with
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: no out like look at this. Look at this video
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: from the subway system in New York City. Right now.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: You know it's hot in there, No, it's hot.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: It is underground. They are at a standstill, shoulder to
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: shoulder like they're at Reggie's at at one thirty am.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: Are they trying to get out on the train.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: They're trying to get out?
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: How are they not able to get out?
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Because there's probably people and the streets are blocked off too,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: So the streets are blocked off, barricaded. They didn't open
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: up certain parts until I think like seven am or something,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: so they're just stuck underground, side by side, sweating messes.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: You know, there's people underground that might be living there,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: pooping right there. You might you might be standing right
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: next to it.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: I was thinking, did actually pass away?
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: I would pass away just from freaking the you know
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: what out? Yes, this looks.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: Like, my hell, why do they all look so calm?
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: They shouldn't be calm. No, they should not be calm.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: This too early in the morning. I guess it's like
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: people aren't you know. I don't know. I wanted to
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: say so early that people might not be like crazy,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: intoxicated and obnoxious. Yet Yeah, well they took off.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: A word to go to the Knicks parade, so like
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: they're probably not as irritable as they otherwise would be.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Yep. So somebody tweeted out, like I've been stuck without
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: moving underground for over thirty minutes. Now there's no more room.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: At seven twenty eight, there was a Nick's Parade update.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: There's no more room. The parade starts at ten am.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: It's ten over there now, so it's already started.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: That point.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: Get back on the subway, go down a little bit,
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: get off and just try to walk it from the street,
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: like you.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Got to get off there. Yep. I don't know that's
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: what's saying. I don't know how they're they're doing it today,
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: but said in the seven o'clock hour, or maybe it's
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: eight o'clock hour in New York City, uh NYPD announced
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: that there is quote no more room at the Knicks parade.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Don't come, don't show up. They didn't say that, but
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: they said there is literally no more room. You got
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: cops here holding barricades back. It's mayhem, all to celebrate
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: a basketball team, very good basketball team.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: Dude rocking a Tyson Chandler jersey. You hadn't played in
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: New York in like fifteen years.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Luke's over there, just thinking, may wish I was in
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: New York right now? Why no, do you like crowds?
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: You're young? You still you can still go handle the crowds.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Update earlier in the show, if you missed it, casually
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: asked Luke feels a decent golfer. He said he recently
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: shot at sixty nine, a little jerk. I didn't mean that,
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Love you, Luke. Update Gray mcdalla's minus two right now?
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: How about that even in the conditions? Okay, So, Taylor,
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: you brought this to my attention earlier today. I saw
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: it on I saw it on the socials. Since then,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: there's some a lot of times we tried to stay
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: away from comparisons, like, you know, is so and so
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: as good as so and so was? Is this team
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: as good as that? Team was LS you great? Making
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: a comparison recently Joe Burrow, he stated that, oh I
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: saw this too, the Cincinnati Bengals this year, the Year
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: of Our Lord twenty twenty six reminds him a lot
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: of the twenty nineteen LSU football teo. What are you
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: laughing at? Taylor? Okay, So a lot of thoughts to this.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: As a quarterback, as a leader, as a franchise guy.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: You gotta be confident. Love love of confidence, quiet confidence,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: loud confidence, whatever it is. You gotta be confident. If
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: you're a head coach, if you're a quarterback. That's what
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: makes you great, That's what gets you to the elite level.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: That's what gets you to being a professional athlete is confidence.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: And you have to speak in the confidence. You got
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: to make other people around you just as confident if
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: you're a leader. But there's things that you could also
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: say that just don't make any sense. This doesn't make
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: a lot of sense.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: No.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: I was wondering, like, why does he think that?
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Why are you comparing yourself? For one, you're well, if
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: you just take a step back and you're not NENELSU
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: got me, We got Jamar, Yeah, You're yeah, same two
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: guys the whole team. Yeah. Like, just I like if
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: you're just like, if you're in North Dakota and you're
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: just a sports fan, you're like not an LSU fan,
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: You're just like, he's comparing himself to college team. Yeah,
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: So you're either comparing yourself to college team what isn't
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: that's not a great look, or you're comparison yourself to
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: comparing yourself to the greatest team to ever play the
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: game at that level. So I don't understand the comparison.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: I love Joe Burrow.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Did he elaborate?
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I heard the sound Bye, I'm just taking that and running. Yeah,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: I'm judging a book that's cover right now. Certainly didn't
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: listen to every word, but.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think you have to.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: But like, I just I'm just curious why he would
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: say something like that.
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: He didn't.
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: He didn't say because of players. He just said, like
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: the vibes, I thrive on pressure. Sure, there's a lot
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: of pressure on me, he said, I look at this
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: team very similar to that team. I'm excited to get
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: moving like rampant right up into training camp. He said,
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: I think there's so much greatness that we're gonna be
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: able to achieve this year.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: I'll give him this.
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: The divisions is weak in my opinion, as it hasn't
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: been in like six years.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's not great.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: I have to assume that the Steelers are gonna win
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: nine or ten games because they've done that for the
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: last like ten years. Don't really care who their coaching
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: quarterback is. What is Lamar going to be under a
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: new head coach, new offensive coordinator. The Browns are the Browns.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: They're going to be awful because well the Cleveland Browns
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: are always awful. So it's a winnable division for the
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: first time in a while. I don't hate some of
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: the moves they've made. I don't think they made a
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: lot of splash moves. But they showed up the D line,
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: they showed up the O line. They needed to do that.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: Secondary is still a little bit of questions, Like I
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: could see where Joe's coming from in terms of like
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: a win loss in the division standpoint, But I just
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: think this puts a lot of unnecessary pressure on this
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: team because, like you know, let's say they lose two
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: or three games in a row. It's the NFL that
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: happens all the time you do that, up, here comes
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: to critics, Here comes everybody who's like, oh, it was
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: a stupid thing to say in the offseason.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Why would you do that.
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: I get it, I get why he's excited.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: I just yeah, of course we lost. I compared myself
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: to a college team. Uh, we can't compete in the NFL.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: We can't compete in the NFL. And they do have
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: the greatest, one of the greatest head coaches of all time, Zach.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I mean he he somehow escaped all the firings last season.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, obviously Mike Tomlin and John Harball get fired,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: but Zach Zach stays who saw that coming. He's the
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: only head coach in the AFC North that.
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: Survived wild Although in the check is no Joe Burrow said,
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: this team right now could compete against the twenty nineteen.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: And that's not a slight to the twenty nineteen. There's
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: no college football team ever that should be able to
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: compete with any NFL team. I don't care if it's
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: the Browns of the Jets. Twenty nineteen team is the
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: greatest team to ever play the sport at that level,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: at the college football level, you can try.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: To say Alabama.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: True, thank you, Marler, I appreciate that. Thanks for that take. Yeah,
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: you can make arguments for brother, but like you can't
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: do it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: No, he is different. That is the best team of
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: all time.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: And so it is a it's a you know whatever, Joe,
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: do your thing. Man, You're you're one of the best
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: to do it. I don't like this particular comment, but
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: that doesn't mean anything. I love you being confident. He
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: wants everybody talking about the Bengals and he should. And
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: to Taylor's point, this is a very that's a very
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: gettable division. And it was last year too. I mean
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: the raven So rock bottom for the Ravens is eight wins,
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: and they did that last year. I think they were
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: eight to nine last year with Lamar Jackson the quarterback,
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: and and that's with Lamar missing like a month of
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: games too. So rock bottom with Lamar as your quarterback
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: for the Ravens is eight wins. That's rock bottom. I
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: think they're going to be very much improved. You're right,
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Steelers probably gonna win this first year head coach. There
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: at least Mike McCarthy Aaron Rodgers back for his last ride.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Bengals are going to Bingle. I'm sorry, the Browns are
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: gonna brown. The Bengals have an opportunity now. Their front
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: office and their head coach are not very not the best,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: but they got the talent. So can you certainly make
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: a playoff push? You certainly can. But I do think
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: the Ravens are going to be much more improved this year.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: Well yeah, they had an overrated coach last year.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: They are. I think they're the team that one of
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: the teams I took that would have wins the season ago,
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: they had eight, so I predicted I think I've predicted
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: a couple weeks before that that they'd get to twelve. Yeah,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: so that one is just adn to win on there.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: I don't think you're gonna keep them more down for
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: at least in the regular season. One of the best
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: regular season quarterbacks out there him and Justin Justin Herbert.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: So we'll see. But anyway, I didn't I didn't love this.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: I didn't love this quote from Joe.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: But you know what, I feel neutral about it.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: I mean it's it's not like I hate it, yeah,
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: but it's just like it's doesn't make any it doesn't
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: make any sense. Are you saying the Bengals are going
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: to be the best team to ever play NFL football?
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: Or are you saying they're not better than a college
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: team that See that's where we're sitting here. Maybe it's
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: just the vibes, like man, this we love to go,
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: we love to go party. In two thousand and eight teams,
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: our guys party here again. I mean, it's it's a
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: winnable division, as winnable has been in a while. I
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: just I think there's still holes. Like they did a
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: good job shoring up that D line. I worry about
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: their secondary and that's a division that's gonna throw the football.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: I mean, you still Aaron Rodgers, you know what Lamar
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: is going to do?
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: Again?
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: Who cares about the Browns? But I mean you got
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: to play those teams twice a piece, so it's it's
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: gonna be tough.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: They can do it, all right, Taylor. You taking Joe
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Burrow Baker Mayfield, Oh, Joe Burrow. He taking Lamar Jackson
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield, Lamoar. I mean Lamar's got two mvbs, justin
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Herbert Baker Mayfield. They got Jake's not here. Uh, this
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: guy hates Baker.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna take Baker because like, look, he's got the
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: he's got the comeback wins man. I mean in the
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: fourth quarter. He knows how to win games. Like I
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: really like Justin Herbert. I think he's more talented. He
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: and Dunlanton of that in his career. I feel like
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: Baker deserves to be in the AFC. North just feels like,
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: I mean, not the Browns. Don't go back to the Browns.
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: He looks like this the kind of gritty like quarterback
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: that should be playing Chris Steve.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: How about this?
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: He didn't get a contract extension with the Box. Rogers
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: retires Pittsburgh Steelish quarterback Baker Mayfield with Mike McCarthy.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: That seems like a fit to me. That does seem
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: like a fit. Baker's always done well in the West
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Coast style offense like it. Why not wonder you hate this? Talk?
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: Right? I'm okay with it? Why am I being accused
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: of that?
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Uh? Anybody do any cooking this weekend? If you are,
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: you go to Rouses.

  Speaker 5: Yeah, That's why I'm not.

• 20:05
  Speaker 5: I was talking about the World Cup forever and.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: It's in the US of A and he's not here.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: What I'm hearing I didn't watch who else isn't here anymore,
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Christiano Ronaldo. The draw is a tough scene. The drawl
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: Portugal ties. We don't call it draws around here, we
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: call it ties. They tied Congo. I don't think known
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: as a powerhouse. Portugal is known as a powerhouse. Yeah,
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: all the people on television, all the people around, all
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: the soccer experts are pretty I'm trying to respectfully say,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: you don't get it anymore, Bud, Like you don't have
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: the speed, You're not doing a whole lot out there,
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: not bringing a lot to the table, and even questioning
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: if port your goal should bench Rinaldo, which is tough
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: to say. Age catches up with everybody unless you're messy.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: It catches up with everybody, and like the whole will
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: make MESSI getting the hat trick probably like the worst
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: thing that could have happened to the comparisons, all the
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: comparison like people age differently. I mean, obviously he still
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: got it, Ronaldo doesn't.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: The difference is messy. Before the game went to rejuven me,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Rinaldo didn't. So messy feels super young.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: We got about that. I did. I saw Messi in
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: the lobby when I was over there, him up. Oh yeah, like, hey,
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: good look in the cup.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: Big.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Do you really thought I was about to give you
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: like an analysis right there?
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: You turn around.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: You it's as good as my analysis is. There was
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: actually a Congo player players in soccer, I think so sportsman,
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: it's probably Congo Sportsman, to your point, it probably is
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: something weird. A footballer, I well know what it is.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: It's got to be something weird though. Anyway, somebody that
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: plays the game of soccer for the Congo national team said, yes,
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: it was a little bit surprising to see that he
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: was a lot slower than we expected. They said, however,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: it is an honor to play next to them on
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: this stage. So being as respectful as part and I
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: think everybody is, they respect the greatness all that, blah
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: blah blah. He ain't got it. So Portugal ties. We
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: don't say draw around here because it's this is America.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: Hey tie Congo England. England defeats Croatia four to two.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Do we decide? Is it Harry Kane?
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Ye?
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Okay, it's not Henry Harry Kane. Nobody, none of us
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: knew that. The other day. Dang it. They beat him
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: four to two. Uh Ghana beats Panama one nil yesterday,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: and then Columbia takes down use Pakistan three to one,
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: and then Austria. Oh no, that was tuesday. Austra beat
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: Jordan on Tuesday three to one. And then today, let's see,
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: we got up in the lineup today in the World
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: Cup scene. Oh we got Landra is your team? No,
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: chech no?
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: Is that my team?
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: Czech Republic also formerly known as Man Come on, they
• 23:29

  Speaker 4: on Bosnia, yep, and then Canada takes on Qatar or
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: cutter however you want.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: To pronounce her.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: And then tonight eight pm your real team, Alandra, Mexico
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: versus South Korea. I'm excited for that. South Korea is good.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: I watched that first game because I think they were
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: the first game of the World Cup, I believe, or
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: maybe yeah, first or second game of the World They
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: were really good.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: So they face the same team.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Oh no, they played South Africa, right, I don't know whatever,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I can't remember.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: You're we're we're all locked in. I think we all
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: we all we all know what's what here. We're talking
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: about World Cup soccer without Jacob because.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: He's we're all soccer people here coaching nine you right now. Yeah,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: they played South Africa first to zero. They got that win,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: all right, So they play South Korea now.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Then, But we're all getting ready, we're all tuning up,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: gearing up for tomorrow. USA and those dirty Australians.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: Hate those coming from down Under, coming from.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: Down and they can't come over here. No toilets flush
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: the opposite direction around here? Is that true? Yeah? I
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: saw it on an episode of the Simpsons when I
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: was a kid.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: Okay, I think it is true.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: Toilet fleshes the other way. But why, I don't know.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: That does make me sense, like the manufacturer of the
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: toilet doesn't have anything to do with like magnetic pools
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: or gravity.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you a question because I don't
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: think you were here when we explore this, but I'm
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: gonna actually ask you in the break because it's kind
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: of like, Okay, it's space though early Earth and like,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: but I got roasted for this, you did.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: Space is scary, Yeah, not as scary as the ocean.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: Now, I think the ocean is space.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: I saw something that you know, there's a lake in
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: America that there's a bunch there's there's a bunch of lakes,
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: but it's like I want to say, like two thousand
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: feet deep something like that.
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: Dang.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Well, Crater Lake used to be a volcano and when
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: it exploded years ago, a long time ago, like like
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: the underneath where all the lava was, it just filled
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: them with water. Okay, yeah, it's an organ it's called
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: Crater Lake's incredible. You can't swim there and boat there,
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: and people took a submarine there. They had make a
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: submarine down there.
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: You can't because it's so deep, or you just can't because.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: It's so well I think because it's a crater. So
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: there's no safe way to get there.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: Okay, to go down Okay, guess that makes sense.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah. One, you can't even swim there now because there's
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: a trail that goes down to it, and the trails
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: being redone, so there's no safe way to do it,
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: so you can't even go. It looks pretty sure, it
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: looks so it's like crystal clear, but there's a point
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: that light. It's so deep that there's a point of
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: the lake that light doesn't reach it, kind of like
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: the ocean where those creepy fish are. There's like ghosts
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: looking fish, those translucent fish are.
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: That's cool.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: We're gonna find does it? See?
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: Earth is so fascinating?
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: How deep is it? Did you? Is twenty one a
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: freshwater lake here in America?
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: It partly fills a twenty one and forty eight foot
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: deep caldera.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: Unbelievable.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: It was formed around seventy seven hundred years ago by
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: the collapse of volcano Mount Mazama.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: That's so cool, that crazy, yeah right here?
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: Who would have thought in America? I want to go
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: swimming now, I don't want to go swimming in that.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: I'll take it back. Who knows what's swimming in there?
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Maybe Nassy's there. Gotta be somewhere, Gotta be somewhere, all right,

  Speaker 4: got a belly full of yer row and schwarma. And
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: yeah to Zekei, what's going on? Just just back, just
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: back from Greece.
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well I also went to Israel. And as wonderful
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: as Greece was, Israel was wild. So just to keep
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: it short and sweet, we had an Iranian rockets shot
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: down over the top of our hospital while we were there,
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: and we we got the real life version of what
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: Israel is right now, and you know, people ask why
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: were you there while I was there for my spirituality?
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: But I ended up yeah, we had we had the
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: full man, your experience of what Israel was so oh
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: yeah yeah, So going back to Greece was you know,
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: like going through all that and then we went back
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: to Greece and just relaxed, innate food and drink.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: Did you was it Israel first or what? Did you saying?
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: What it is?
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: So you can't fly to Israel from here? So we
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: flew to Greece and spend two days there and then
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: to Israel and then back to Greece and then took
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: a train to Fessaloniki in northern Greece, and we had
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: a really wonderful experience. Man, it was.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: It was awesome, fantastic. So, I mean, I know you've
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: been asked that. You just said that. People ask like
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: why did you go? I know, it's sort of spirituality
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: and there's always going to be something happened in that era,
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: so some of you want to go. You just go,
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: But like, was it ever? I'm sure this truck's been
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: planning for a while. Was there ever kind of a
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: moment You're like, maybe, no.
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: Perhaps the whole time it was should we go or
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: should we not go? We booked a light thing. If
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: we get there and we don't feel good about it,
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: we don't have to go. But at some at some points,
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: we were both like, you know, if we're going there
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: for a spiritual, spiritual reasons, then God is going to
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: take care of the squad we're there. We have to
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: have faith in that. But that's what we did, and
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: you know, we made it through alive. And honestly, after
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: the rockets, you know, like momentarily after the rockets went off,
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: I had just contemplation of going down into the belly
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: of this this place and the possibility of you know,
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: being buried in rough rubble, or do I go to
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: the roof? And so I went to the roof? My God?
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Well, look we are glad you are
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: back feet on the ground here in the US of A.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: But like, tell us a little about like, uh, being
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: in Greece. I'm sure that was incredible. Did you have
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: any just fantastic like things like culinary experiences that you're
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: just going to remember forever?
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, there was a few. Uh. Mostly though we continued
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: to go to this one place because we walked everywhere.
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: It appens, right, both places actually, and we liked it
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: so much that we went back and talked to the
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: owner and then talked to the chef, and we went
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: back on Sunday and cooked food in the kitchen with
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: the chef, and we got video of it and everything else,
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: and we just mess some really wonderful people. We danced
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: around the danced around the restaurant with them. So they
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: owned two restaurants. And we went to another restaurant on
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: like the Monday before we left and did this traditional
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: Greek dance rest around the restaurant and and oopa and
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: through plates and broke for it. It was. It was extraordinary,
• 31:29

  Speaker 7: to flower my chicken really well, not not like batter it,
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: but flower it really well all round it with the
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: flour in it and build the sauce around the chicken,
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: and you let the sauce thicken from the flour on
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: the chicken. That's how much flour you should have on
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: your chicken. Right. A lot of people do it differently,
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: and you can. You can also pull the chicken out
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: after you've browned it and toss a little flour in
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: and build it that way. But the traditional preparation of it,
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: you know, like you put you brown your chicken and
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: then you put your sauce in, take your liquid in
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: and let let the piccotta sauce build around the chicken.
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: Don't forget the capers like that in that in that
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: in that period while you're browning your chicken, you put
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: your capers in. You let them pop open. You don't
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: when you're cooking with capers, you want them to open.
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: That's where the that's where the liquid is inside and
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: it that's where the beautiful part of it is. So
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: you know, you you put your chicken in the seer
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: about three quarters of the way through that, you put
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: your capers in, and then you you know, build your
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: liquid on top of that.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: I know, like too much of anything is not a
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: good thing, but I don't think you could put too
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: many capers in this thing.
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: Oh man, I'm with you, brother, I like you know,
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: you know, I love pickle things, and capers are not
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: the exception of that. I can eat capers, you know,
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: like yeah, like snacks.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it all right, hasaga manchies. Do you
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: wash your rice? And what is your preferred type? I'm
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: sure it depends on that. But what is your most
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: like most commonly used type of rice? And do you
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: wash it?
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: We do wash our rice except for the brown rice
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: probably you know, it just depending on where your rice
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: comes from. It it has been milled and grained and
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: gone through this process. But it also you know, as
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: a potential for dirt on it and stuff, and so
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: I do wash my rice. It also kind of pulls
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: some of the starch out of it, just the loose
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: starts that was remained behind. But I use all different
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: kinds of rice, so you know, like I use jasmine rice,
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: I use brown rice to use high protein rice that's
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: you know, made here in the Everything that we buy
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: is from Louisiana. It's a it's a Louisiana jasmine grown
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: in Louisiana. So I don't know you know, it's probably
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: the only rice that we don't buy that we buy
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: that is not from louisianas for like Japanese rice for
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: you know, for like sushi, and I don't necessarily rinse
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: that because you want the gluten to stick together while
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: it's you know, for to make the sushi rice. So
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: there's the exception.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: How do you make what is the proper is it
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: Isn't it? Like vinegar and a little bit of sugar
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: in there for sushi rice?
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you can use a little touch of mirrion because
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: it has sugar in it, right, But yeah, it's a
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: it's a rice rice vinegar or rice wine, yeah, rice vinegar.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, hashtag munchies. What do you put in
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: just your basic like chicken stock that you like to
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: make and how long do you cook it?
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, it depends on how you like your
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: chicken stock light or dark. I prefer mine dark. So
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: I roast my bones first, and I'll put a little
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: bit of tomato paste on the bones to roast them
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: because it caramelizes during the roast. You take a take
• 35:03
  Speaker 7: a pastry brush and and brush tomato paste on it
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: on the bones. You roast those in the oven. You
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: you put your mire plaw into your into your stock
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: pot and rip from there. I mean, it's making a
• 35:18
  Speaker 7: chicken stocks pretty straightforward. I do put a sachet of
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: like black black pole, black peppercorns, bay leaves. You know
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: a lot of people overuse time and time. The expression
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: is a little times, just a long way. If you
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: can use two or three sprigs of time and a
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: gallon of chicken sauce and it's gonna be it's gonna
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: be just fine. I like marjorum over a regano. And
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: but fresh margin room is kind of hard to find.
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: It depends on what you're doing with your chicken stock.
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: You don't have to put that in there. I just
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: it just depends on what you're doing with it. But
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: I like a sachet and I tie it up so
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: that it can be pulled out and it doesn't have
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: to be strained as well. Yeah, it definitely carrets.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it kind of play. I'll just kind of
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: depends on what you're doing with it. But yeah, well look,
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: you just got back from from Greece, so let's talk
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: a little hummus right now. Have you ever heard do
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: you make your own? Did you learn any like really
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: good tips over there on you know what kind of
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: accoutr minds you could put in. I know, we like
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: to Americanize things. Here is what you see what you
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: get over there. How does their hummus kind of differ
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: from what we what we know over here?
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: Well, I think Americans trying to make everything fast and quick,
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: and the hummus at this restaurant that we went to
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: was a three day hummus, like they had they soaked
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: their their garbons of beans overnight, you know, they cook
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: them on day two and purade the heck out of
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: it while they're still hot, pull the skins out of it,
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: you know, like if you soak them and and and
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: boil them, you pull the skins out as much as
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: you can, strain them off, and then purade the heck
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: out of it. They don't actually make their full hummus,
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: the full on hummus, until day three, so they will
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: cook it, puree it, put some of the seasonings and
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: ingredients in it into it, just a little bit of
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: the olive oil, but not the lemon juice yet. They
• 37:09
  Speaker 7: will put the tahini in it that day, but not
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: the lemon juice or all of the olive oil, and
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: they let that soak in one because lemon juice is volatile,
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: which which it will evaporate. And so if if you're
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: putting lemon juice into hot hummus, it's going to evaporate
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: and you're gonna lose the impact of it. So you
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: get it nice and smooth on day two. Let it
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: sit over nice it's nice and cold, and then you
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: put your lemon juice in the remainder of your olive
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: oil into it the next day when you're ready to
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: serve it. And I'm going to tell you right now,
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: I think I saw crabmeat and hummus. I saw like
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: a braid, pork cheese and hummus. I mean, I don't,
• 37:47
  Speaker 7: I don't. I was amazed by how many things they
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: were willing to put into hummus, you know.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: And yeah, if you if you would have like asked me,
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: would I take a guess, I would have said that
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: they would have kept it really simple, like don't don't
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: ruin the integrity of the homicide. Yeah, but my god,
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: brais pork cheeks and humma sounds incredible?
• 38:06
  Speaker 7: Oh man, it was. It was the smoothest, you know,
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: like a baby's but it was so smooth and it
• 38:13
  Speaker 7: was delicious, you know.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: Uh. We had a follow up question and I think
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: this was you talked about this ingredient and your chicken
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: stock answer. What is marjoram?
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: The marj roam is a a leafy herb and it
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: is it is akin to a regano, but it is
• 38:30
  Speaker 7: mildly different. And you know, like if I'm making an
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: Italian red sauce, I use marjoram over oregano. It tastes similar,
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: but it's mildly different. And it's just a preference that
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: I have.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: Chef, I gotta asked, man, what are you cooking for
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: these recruits? Because my god, every time a recruit comes
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: in for Lasi football, they just commit like three days later.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: So what are you making for.
• 38:52
  Speaker 7: These guys anything they want? Buddy?
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: My god, you.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: Must be doing It's a comfort food over there, definitely
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: not definitely nothing healthy.
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Well, it's a busy time for recruiting. It's been
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: busy and you know, like I was, I landed yesterday
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: and I have you know, I'm it's mouth to the
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: hose pipe, so to speak. You know, like we have
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: tons and tons and tons of recruits, not just with football,
• 39:17
  Speaker 7: with a lot of different sports right now. So that's
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: what I live for though, That's that's where you build
• 39:22
  Speaker 7: the relationships first, Matt. You know, like you know, I
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: had that conversation in Orleans about how important the relationships are.
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: You know, if you don't if you can't trust your
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: chef you know, or your coach for that matter, you
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: know what I mean, what what what? How fruitful are
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: you really going to be? And I think that that's important.
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: And the parents being there is absolutely important too. As
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: a parent, I'm empathetic to what they're going through because
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: you know, I have children their age and I've I've
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: gone through the same thing. Like it's my daughter eating Okay,
• 39:52
  Speaker 7: she you know, she went to LSU so she would
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: come visit me once a week, so I knew she
• 39:55
  Speaker 7: was eaten. But yeah, yeah.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: I got a lot of credit for those recruits. Of course,
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: rightfully goes to Lane Kiffin and his staff, but like, man,
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: there's so much more that goes into it when trying
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: to connect with human beings, and the support staff goes along.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: And I know you are You're awesome at connecting because
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: you love that connection with people. And yeah, certainly cooking
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: for people is a connection in and of itself. So yeah,
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: that is a I can only imagine that y'all staff
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: and the incredible, the incredible performance food area that y'all
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: have over there is a huge draw for a lot
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: of these fruits.
• 40:31
  Speaker 7: There's been a handful of times where I've had coaches
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: paul me and say, you know, you just nailed it.
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: You just you just helped us, you know, secure secure
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: that one. And you know, some there there's there's some
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: that are are not interested in it. They're they're more
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: interested in other things, education and whatnot. And but there
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: are definitely those who come in and are bought into
• 40:52
  Speaker 7: the food program and understand that it has an impact
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: in their performance. And those are the easy ones, you know,
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: like the it's the ones that are you have to
• 41:01
  Speaker 7: you have to convince or even carry this trust, you know,
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: like we've had We've had kids that came in that
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: had food jags, that had had a lot of distrust
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: and had one guy that he would only eat ramen
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: noodles man And that was no matter how hard we
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: tried it, it was it was nothing we could do.
• 41:20
  Speaker 7: And it was sad, you know, like my heart felt sad.
• 41:23
  Speaker 7: For him because of you know, like he had been
• 41:26
  Speaker 7: through something, you know, and and it was it was
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: tough to watch.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: Oh man, Well that's this way to someone's heart is
