  Speaker 2: Yeah.

• 2:43
  Speaker 4: a laser rocket arm.

  Speaker 3: to his eyebrows.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: No, no, what he did this graphic. This is the
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: one you made.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: This is the l one.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: It looks good. Their graphics are awesome.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: So with his commitment, means at LSU will have the
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: top ranked freshman class according to D one Baseball, according
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: to Baseball America, according to Common Sense.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Seven top one hundred players. But this kid specifically, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: I'm meant to send you guys this text this weekend
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: about I don't know why I'm doing all this, but
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: it was. It was about my actional man. Come on now,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: So anytime you have a left he throwing ninety seven
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: miles an hour. That's a lead, right. Uh, the number
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: twelve overall player in this year's class. He was drafted
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: fifty ninth overall. We talked about that last week. But
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: six four two ten right now, that's what he's listed
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: at going into his senior year, already throwing ninety four
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: to ninety seven consistently. Uh, pretty good slide, a pretty
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: good change has commanded four pitches, and they're all ranked
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: fifty or above on that eighty. You know, for like
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Major League Baseball, the draft scale goes to eighty, all
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: between fifty and fifty five already on that still very young.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, you think about what you can put into
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: that frame. It's six four, two ten right now. He
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: can easily get to two thirty before next season, if
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: that's what he wants to be at right you know,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: throughout your lower body. And somebody put out a list
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: of players this week, and I apologize for not remembering
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: who it was to give him credit. And it was like,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: like to put in perspective where he is ranked out
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: of high school and it's a twelve overall prospect. It's
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: up there with Derek Carriel, it's up there with Dylan Cruz,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: and it's up there with one more player, all of
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: them very elite prospects, all of them drafted very high.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: That's who this kid is going, who the two he is. Listen,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: you don't hit on all of them. It doesn't mean
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: they're all going to pan out. But you signed seven
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: top one hundred players and they all got to campus.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: That is I've never seen anything like that. That is.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, I didn't know the pick up them.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: We're drafted, right, I don't know.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: I think I don't know if Malachi was or not.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah he was eighteen eighteenth.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: Round yeah, no, eighteenth, No, he wasn't eighteen.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: I think there was. There were a couple that went
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: late and they all decidedly that too. But either way,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: getting all of them to campus, yeah, I mean, this
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: is I mean what it's pale brother a lot up
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers for fall games. I mean, at this point,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: that is crazy.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, welcome to you know, in il world.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: I guess is this would never obviously be possible. We
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: all know that we're preaching to the choir on this,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: but obviously never possible five, ten, fifteen. However, many years
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: ago until now, is anybody shocked here that he so
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: the reason why he didn't sign because he got drafted
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: in the second round was because of the discrepancies between
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: what he was looking for and what they could pay
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: him as his bonus and in his contract. So like,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: is anybody surprised that he didn't choose the Juco rope?
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: A couple of non ball knowers not on this show,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Alandra called.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: It, Yes, I don't know if I like straight up
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: was like, I don't know.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: I gave you reasons for why I feel like he
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: might make the decision to come here, and I thought
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: that they were valid reasons. And in my head, like
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: if you're going fifty ninth overall and you're turning down money,
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: I didn't like, I don't know. It just didn't make
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: it makes sense to go to Juco because of the
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: one year thing. I think people are focusing on that
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: so much. But you're not passing up on the MLB
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: for one year, right, not in this current climate that
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: baseball is in.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Like, I don't know, I.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Don't know what his NIL package would be. I don't know,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Like I just I don't.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Know what's possible in baseball.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: That was just gonna say, I'm very ignorant to what
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: the totals could be. We know that Milam got a million,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: and I don't know what else, Like like like I
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: don't know what Bino Waters is worth as like the
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: number one prospect in the portal, but you've got three
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: out of the top five players in the portal. That's
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: not including Cameron Fluki, who's like added in there even
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: though he's gonna be a first round pick. Yeah, basically
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: three out of the top five. What I let me
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: like nerd out for a second about what I love
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: most about.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: This for LSU is that's what I was.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah it is. We talked about football, and everyone's so
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: excited about the portal class, right, but you look at
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: the football team and you're like, yeah, it's gonna be
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: awesome with Sam Leve, It's gonna be awesome with Prince
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: will Um when meale On nailed it kind of nope, nope,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: all right, Jordan Seaton, all these other elite players you
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: got from the portal Tie Benefield my favorite already, and
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, those guys are gonna be really, really good.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: They're gonna start for you. Oh, by the way, you
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: also got Lamar Brown, five star, you got Richard Anderson,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: you got Deuce Gerald's. You got all these really elite
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: players in the freshman class that are coming in as well.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: And on top of all that, what you retained with
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: trade Is and with Weeks and all these like DJ Pickett,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: like all these like and that's just scratching the service.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: There's really good players, right. The baseball team is almost
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: like a mirror image of that. Yeah, I mean, like
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: what you have, Like we keep talking about the seven
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: top one hundred recruits, talk about Logan Schmidt, we talked
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: about I talk about Malco Washington because our few high
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: school Deno Waters, the Landen Hood kid, all these elite
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: players that you brought in. And oh, by the way,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: you still have Cason Evans, you still have maybe the
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: best core of young hitters. You have the best catching
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: unit in the entire country. It's I mean, they are loaded,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: it is it is going to be awesome, undefeated man.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: And that was the thing with the in the in
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: the portal was that, yeah, we are getting so many
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: good bats gloves, but it's the starting caliber pitching. It's
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: that ace that is just not available in the portal
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: this year. And so you know, I know he's he
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: just turned eighteen. I get on that, but maybe it's
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: not this first year, but like you would assume he
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: is going to become that guy. Yeah, and because he
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: will obviously have three years here, so he makes a what.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: I think exciting too, Like you know you're going to
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: have that for three years.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: R If I was a parent, my child was in
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: that situation. Yeah, and I don't know the conversations. Obviously,
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: we are not privy to that information, that conversation that
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: has had between this young man and the junior college,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: this young man in the professional teams and his agent
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: and the managers and the scouts, and then also what
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: it is with Jay Johnson and other colleges. But looking
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: at it from a thousand foot view, I feel like
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: this is the right decision for a young man, especially
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: like I didn't.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Realize that he was so young.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: That's how I was, Like, I didn't turn eighteen until
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: I got I was already at LSU. There is so
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: much growth that has to come, and he's not get
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: improving him. It's such like a pivotal part of his career.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: He's obviously talented, obviously he's going to do big things,
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: but like, you're not going to improve by going to JUCO. So, yeah,
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: you're even if your draft position stays the same. I
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: guess the point is potentially the team that drafts you
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: next year would be a to pay the full amount
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: of your of your slot. But I think he makes
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: a great decision to come to college just for him
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: in his future. But again I'm just looking at that
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: from not being a ball knower. Just I just think
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: that's better for development of a young man. Yeah, better
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: like go for three years and you get to get paid.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: And I don't know you make the comparisons from what
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: the football team's doing to what the baseball team, but
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: I don't know what kind of pool of money baseball
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: pools from. Obviously it's a lot less and Jay is
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: a master. I know Jay loves to go and recruit
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: and promise something and then go find it. I'm not
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: sure how much like he's got in the bag before
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: he promises it, but he can always finds a way
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: to deliver.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: I think I was gonna say, like, I think we
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: kind of talked about where like obviously money is a
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: big factor, especially now, but I don't think Jay is
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: selling them on money, like I think he's giving them money.
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: For sure, you have to with how things are now,
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: but he's saying like, hey, come here three years, get
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: this MLB pipeline that we've built here, like with Dylan Cruz,
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: Tommy Tanks, Paul skiings like this is these are people
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: that are and even Kate Anderson and Anthony Ironsen in
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: the miners like they're going to get called up and
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: they're going to be successful in the MLB. So Jay
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: has built something here where. That's why something like this
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: is also just to me pivotal to the program, because
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: he's built something here where it's like, you can go
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: to the MLB and you can do well in the
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: MLB like Connor Griffin did, and you can do that,
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: or you can come here. You can win championships, right,
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: you can travel well, you have a fan base that
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: loves you and treats you like you're already a professional player.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: Or you can go year in Juco.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: You can go to the farm system and the miners
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: and you can grind your way through all these small
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: little towns or whatever until you eventually get called up,
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: or you come here and you can show people that
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: you can be immediately successful in them. Would be like,
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: I just think that Jay's built something here that's like
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: a pipeline, like people want to come here. It's like
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: with NFL LSU, like the pipeline from LSU to the
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: NFL is also really well established here. So I think
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: that Jay is doing something here where that's kind of
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: the pitch more than like, hey, we'll pay you millions
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: of dollars to come here, and I think, like, for sure,
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: he's giving the money, but there's the brand of LSU
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: Baseball that I think is the biggest brand in college baseball,
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: like period point block, and you can make arguments for
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: other schools, but I think it's LSU. And maybe I
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: have purple colored glasses on or whatever, but I just
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: think that Jay's building something very very.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: Big here and very people that go high in the
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: MLB dropped want to come here.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: We're to say his buildings. And he's won two national
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: championship but.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: Still but standard not like that.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah right, LSU baseball sells itself, yeah right. But what
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: he has done specifically and these draft picks that they
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: have had it is I listen, it's different because it's
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: baseball versus football. It's very saban Esque in terms of like,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: yes all the time, what you're putting into I I
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: don't my own. Again, this is an assumption. I'm speaking
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: purely from a place of ignorance and what I assume
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: to be the case. I doubt that he got one
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: point seven million. It's also probably something to be said
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: of like, hey, we can't pay you more than we're
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: paying milam.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I I don't know.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, yeah, that's that's always an odd thing.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Maybe you can't. Maybe maybe Milam also is like load
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: the roster up as much as possible. I don't care
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: about being the highest paid player because he doesn't seem
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: like the kind of person anyway. I don't know what
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: you're what you're paying them. What'll be interesting now for
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: next year is do you go, like, like you you
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: need to sign these types of players you and recruit
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: these types of players just in case there's a windfall
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: like this year and they all somehow end up on campus,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: but you are you got to you gotta keep them
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: out of the portal, obviously, but you have a chance
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: really like to like you've now layered like a foundation
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: of elite players for the next several years where you
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: don't have to rush anybody into getting it bat's early.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: If they're good enough, they will But my god, dude,
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't know if I've ever seen a
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: roster like this. Yeah, like there's there. I'm sure there
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: are historically speaking, some really good teams, especially at LSU,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: but top to bottom, yeah, I.
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: Mean, like, and then you gotta like make sure that
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: the same thing that happened to you this season. Doesn't

• 16:11
  Speaker 4: this talk about Logan Schmidt, but just saying like this
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: is also this is a snapshot of college athletics in
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: general and in baseball. I don't think it has made
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: more of a difference as far as how teams major
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: league professional teams.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: View at sport at the college level.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Like I think like back in the day, it was
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: more okay, you got to get in the farm system
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: to be to be groomed. Yeah, to be so you're
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: ready for the big leagues. It's not the same anymore.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: I think college baseball is more It's always been a feeder, right,
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: but it's more of a feeder now. I think people
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: are willing. Of course, the money plays a big part,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: and yet it's not one point seven million. But like,
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: if you're getting paid something right to go to an
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: incredible program that you know you're going to get better
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: at that, you know that Major League Baseball Views has
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: a very high opinion of, then it makes it an
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: easier decision. I would take that thousand times more than
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: going to a junior college to play a wasted year
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: just to get to the draft and be drafted in
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: the same position. You go to LSU, you get paid.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah it's not one point seven million, but you're getting
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: paid something. You have an awesome experience, you get awesome coaching,
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: you have this potential to improve yourself to the number
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: one overall draft pick. You go to JUCO, you're not improving.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: You're just gonna be the same guy. You're gonna be
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: the same guy. Maybe you add a one mile per hour,
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: maybe two miles per hour, whatever, Maybe that bumps you
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: up a couple of positions. But he's got an opportunity
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: now to make a lot of money in college. Maybe
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: it's not that signing bonus that he was gonna do
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: and get ready, and maybe now it's not three years
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: in minor leagues. Maybe now he plays at LG for
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: three years and he's pitches in the minor leagues for
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: a year.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: You just never know.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: But obviously you're gonna project that you're going to as
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: a family trying to make that decision, you're always gonna
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: think the most positive. You're gonna go to LSU, You're
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: gonna win a national championship or two. You're gonna be awesome,
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: and you're gonna be a top five pick in three years.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: So that's the that's the cell.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: And as athletes, as higher performance athletes, you're confident enough
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: to where you believe that that cell works because you
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: believe that and obviously he's got the talent to back
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: it up. So things is changing.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, in IL feel so bad for like it sounds
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: bad because they lost a bunch of this year, but
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: like Southern and Nichols coming in on a Tuesday and
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: there's just some eighteen year old throwing ninety eight miles
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: an hour in the first.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: And that guy gets to stay off of a bus
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: for a couple of years too, and he gets to
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: take chartered planes. So we hear all the bad stories
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: on nil on every sport. And my god, do we
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: like to talk about the bad ones because there's a
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: lot of bad.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: But then I al not within il, I'll play yours.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: She could play.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: But there's a lot of bad in college sports. But
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: in als has helped college baseball more than more than anything.

  Speaker 4: Unless it's a really big bag and a small room, yeah,
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: stuff everywhere. This is a really big bags or in
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: a small room you kind of have to unpack because
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: you can't keep it open.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm in big cities.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: I ran out of the other this morning. I had
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: to use one arm degree or what do they call it?
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Old spice over here, and then this one in this arm.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Ped I can do you do? Same arm, same same hand, same.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Pit, crazy said, I was trying to block my body
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: with this arm.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: This this man puts on with the same hand.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: It's like, how do I do this the most complicated
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: way possible?
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: I want to make sure my wrist flexibility. It's sometime
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: I've been working on with the y.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: Tyre flips will really help you.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: There's so many unnecessary things.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: About why fake tire flip anyway?
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: We feel it so obviously we're speak of della chief, folks.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: But every single college is reporting a lot of storylines,
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: tons of storylines, a lot of quarterback battles just within
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: the SEC, all over the country, all over the SEC.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: Of course they do LSU not so much a quarterback battle,
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: but brand new coaches up, brand new quarterback, brand new
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: lots of things. The one thing that's not brand new
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: is most of the pieces are a lot of the pieces,
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: at least on defense, which I'm.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Very excited about.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: I expect the defense, as with a lot of most
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: training camps, defense is usually ahead, always doesn't matter, it
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: doesn't matter if it's experienced on experience, defense has usually
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: had that first week and you're seeing that. You're you're
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: seeing that at least with reports in Saints training camp,
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: but I expect to see that in reports at LSU
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: training camp. Now things are going to look a little bit,
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: you know different. There's going to be a lot of
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: getting to know each other. I know we had Spring
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: and every everything, but still there's a lot of news
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: spring training. Throw that throw that tape in the trash.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Nobody cares you forget everything that you did in spring.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: You never watched that film again, So there's going to
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: be a lot of introduction with coaching staff, players, blah
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: blah blah, and it's uh, it's gonna be it's gonna
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: be exciting.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: The reports are gonna be great.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: Be careful Nick Oneerols told us about that with with
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: Saints training camp and NFL, like, be careful of taking
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: too much stock into quarterbacks completion percentage, how quarterbacks or
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: receivers look an individual just and especially first gave a
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: couple of days of training camp. Be careful of any
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: defensive and offensive lineman reports like, because that's all garbage
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: the first couple of days, like you maybe if you
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: really know what you're looking at, maybe you can tell
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: if there's like missed assignments or something like that. But again,
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: that's what the first couple of weeks of training camp
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: is for, to get those miss assignments out of the way.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: But until you get pads on, until he goes live,
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: which we are going to get some live drills this
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: year a Lan Kiffin, something we never got with Brian Kelly.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: It's just there's a lot of things that are hard
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: to judge. But I'm just fired up to have something
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: to watch, something to look at.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, agree. Also, his practices are fun, Like there's there's
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: a lot of slim dunk. There's just a lot of
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: work that gets done in that amount of time like that.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: It is very high energy, pretty fast paced. I'm looking
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: forward to most like I think that the things that
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: are most important for this year's team to succeed in
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: my opinion, obviously the trenches, as cliche as it is,
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: but they're super young on the defensive line, but they're
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: also super talented. I think their Defensepond's gonna be really
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: really good. They also got some really key pieces that
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: are not young, right like Dominic McKinley. Let's said Donovan,
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: I mean he's going into his third year, former five star.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: You got the kid from Auburn, You brought in a
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: couple other like really good players. I feel like at
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: that position specifically to go along with maybe the best
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: defensive line class, like from a recruiting standpoint that we've
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: seen in twenty years. I mean they just loaded there.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: And then the office line, I think is the one
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: you would be most concerned about for a position unit
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: on the field. I'm looking forward to that. The running
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: back won't be interesting. Dylan Jones looked awesome. He just
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: looked awesome.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Hester is really excited about Dylan Jones.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: He runs hard, he runs The running back room is
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: going to be so unique because Lane Kiffin's offense is
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: usually kind of have a bell cow, right, but this
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: is going to be three guys that you're really not
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: going to lose anything when any of them they're going
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: to be You're gonna be able to have a fresh,
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: really good.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Running back in the fourth quarter every single game. So
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I'm excited.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: So this whole season, Like if we everything revolves around
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: the quarterback always, right, But if you like look at
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: Lane's history, Let's look at last year at Ole Miss,
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: like they were a drive away from playing for the
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: national championship. His team was try to compare that team
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: to this team from a talent perspective, anyway, Like defensively,
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: they're gonna better.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Than Ole Miss was desive coordinator.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: From a talent perspective, it is this this year will
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: go as Sam Levitt goes.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: So one of the other things I was gonna say
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: is like what you want to see in in like
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: fall practice, you want to see who steps up as
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: QB two. I thought I thought Landon Clark was good
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: early on in spring practice. Long Stoot obviously, I think
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: he's going to be the guy that's QB two also
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: in the former five star like like a lot of
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: really good talent there, right, But I also think it's
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: very hard to get through a full season in this
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: league without an injury at that position, and not because
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: of Levit's you know, but just like over the last
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: two years, I mean South Carolina's had Lenora Sellers go down,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: Texas head Quinn Viewers go down. That's when Arch had
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: to come in, Gutter Sockton had to come in for
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Carson Beck. I mean, there, there's there's I mean Trinidad
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: came in only at first because Austin Simmons was.
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: Injured, and we know the style of play that same level.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Sam Levit like can be explosive with his legs now out.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: What does give me a little bit of hope for
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: that is he has been injured. Now, he has suffered
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: through an injury, and he's got a lot of experience.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: So quarterbacks do learn.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: How to avoid that, to learn how to say stay healthy,
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: you know, to an extent. Sometimes you just like can't take.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: It out of them.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Sometimes they do, but you know, I don't think he's
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: like Jackson Dart was as past year with the Giants,
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: like diving into linebackers head first, Like he's not doing
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: any of that dumb stuff. But I just think that
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: this season, if you look at it and compare it,
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: how fast can this offense assimilate to Lane Kiffin's style
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: of style.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Of play, the speed of which they like.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: How quickly can they get that installed in like offense installed,
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: not just installed, but get these guys speaking fluently in
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: that language. They can learn it, they can memorize it,
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: but do they know know it? And that's when you
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: become an expert at that whatever you're trying to do,
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: an expert at that offense, at that terminology of understanding
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: not just understanding what you're doing, but why you are
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: doing it. So we'll see how it goes. But if
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: you just compare it to what almost was able to
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: accomplish last year on paper, at least LSU should I mean,
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: could potentially be better if you can get good quarterback play. Now,
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: Trinidad Chambliss played like one of the best quarterbacks in
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: the country, So are we going to get that play?
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: It remains to be seen, But we're all excited about it.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: I can't wait.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: I can't wait to see it happen, see a play out.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: What else I can't wait to go is go to
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: go Tommy's.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Is time?
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's time.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: Hey Tommy, you gotta go Tommy dot Com, windows, doors, sady,
• 32:34

• 32:37

• 32:39
  Speaker 4: I know you're going to call some people if you
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: have to change out your doors, your windows, your siding.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: And sometimes maybe it's a new house, maybe it's a
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: little addition, maybe it's a renovation, or maybe you just
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: live in South Louisiana and it's humid, there's termites and
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: there's bad weather, and you just have to replace stuff

  Speaker 4: off the bench.

  Speaker 1: Off the bench, Off the Bench with Hester and Flynn
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: presented by Buy You Automotive.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: We got an Angel, Loneless tars, Sam, beauty and chairs
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: with legs.
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: You up and sounds all right looking back here Off
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: the bench Love on the Raisin Kane Studio Monday Shows,
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: brought to you by Buy You Automotive.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: Some not great news out of Saints Cam, I mean
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: not terrible news, but a little surprising news. Wide receiver
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: Jaalen Polk announced that he was just gonna hang him up.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: He's announced the retirement. Jalen Polk was traded for last
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: year before this season from the New England Patriots. Now
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: it was a definitely a low risk trade. I think
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: you traded him in a twenty seventh sixth round pick
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: in exchange for a twenty twenty eight seventh rounder.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: So it was a very like low risk move to
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: add some depth.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: A talented wide receiver, and he was on injured reserve
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: last year, so it was like definitely a move for
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: the future. But he was drafted Jalen Polk drafted in
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty four, second second round pick, thirty seventh overall.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: So obviously he's got a lot of talent. Crazy, I know, right,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: And I.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: Mean you see that every now and then you see
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: these young guys that I don't know if they just
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: fall out of love with the sport. You never know
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: what's somebody's going through personally. But seemingly a surprise to
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: the Saints. I think he was a guy that was
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: that every time he talked to the media, seemed to
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: express excitement for this season, excitement what the future held,
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: and for whatever reason, decides to hang them up retire early.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: I still like this receiver room, though, I feel like
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of talent there, not just the lave
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: we talked. It was a little bit last week. I
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: like that Devon Vailey kid, I say, kid, he's grown adult,
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: but it's like twenty five or don't.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: It's like, well, people, because in the NFL, they just
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: never really have to grow up, so there are always
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: kids like Peter Payin.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, I am older than most of them for sure,
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: but no, I mean, but still very surprising. The twenty
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: twenty four I just assumed this was like a situation
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: that he was I forgot that he was a twenty
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: twenty four draftic. I feel like twenty one like that,
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: very talented, but also I.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: Mean, thirty seventh overall pick a wide receiver as a yeah,
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: you're you're supposed to be somebody, you're supposed to play
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: for a while, you're supposed to be a big high contributor.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: And the fact that the Saints were able to trade
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: for him for not much compensation a year after he
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: was drafted probably the first red flag.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, that's.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: A that's a really good point. Thank you, you're welcome,
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: But you know.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: It's I guess, love what could have been but a
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: little bit of a shock, And it is just it
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: is strange to see these young guys. It's always a
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: little bit jarring when we see young athletes retire when
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: seemingly a career ahead of them. Now again, you never
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: really know what happened, what panned out. But the Saints
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: move on? Will you move on? And going through Ross
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Jackson's article from yesterday was a great job he does
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: do a great job.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: He's so much smarter than us, so much smarter than us.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: Standouts from practice Chase Young, first guy, he mentions.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Multiple times this week.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: So Chase Young. It's such an inter resting story with him,
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: obviously ultra talented. Didn't really know he had an injury
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: last year, didn't really know if he wanted to be there.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: We didn't really know what his attitude was going to be,
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: how motivated he would be to come back from injury.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: But my guy, did he and did he play incredibly?
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: So really he was a Heisman finalist, like he was,
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: he was one of the best players in the country.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is twenty nineteen, which doesn't feel that
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: long ago but is. But you're also coming into the
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: prime part of your body at that age. I think
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: we've all been there, and I think Ross talking about
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: the defense, especially, there's a couple of guys like him
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: in kool Aid are guys that he keeps bringing up.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: I think he got some really good young pizzas there,
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: and I don't know if he's necessarily a young piece.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: He's done really.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Well so far.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's done really well. And again most training camps,
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: how it goes is the defense is always ahead early, right,
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: both sides of the ball are installing a lot of things.
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: The defense installs a lot, offense installs a lot, and
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: every single day is something different. So day one is
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: day one installed, and you work on those plays. Day
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: two install, you work on those plays. Day three blah
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: blah blah.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: So it goes on.
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: Now, when things everything gets installed, that's when things start
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: to even out, usually a little bit. Now, offense is
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: going to have its moments. It's gonna have its some
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: periods where it looks great. It's gonna score in two
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: minute drive, red zone is gonna have looked a great
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: one day. But overall that first week is usually the defense.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: It's a defense heavy, and it does start to even out,
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: So I wouldn't be too worried. You know, Ross mentions
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: that he's being very Chase Young's being very disruptive. They
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: usually have I mean there's usually the first two, three,
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: four prices there's no pads on. So like offensive linemen,
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: they offensive lineman hate no pads. It's it's dumb for
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: them because they're going full contact anyway, because the defensive
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: line is coming off the as fast as they can
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: and they're having a block and they're getting yelled at
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: if they're not hitting their run fits on offense and
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: it's no pads, so they're like, can we just get
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: the pads on, It's gonna be a lot safer. So yeah,
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: usually defense is goingnaly, so is going to be ahead.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: So it's but it's good to see. That's the question mark.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: We believe, based on what we saw towards the end
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: of last season that the offense is going to be good.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: Now how good remains to be seen. There's a lot
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: of positivity for every NFL team going into training camp
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: because you think everybody's got a chance with the Super Bowl,
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: everybody's got a chance, and there's all these great moves
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: that you made going but you do have to be realistic.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: The Saints can be good. How good that is good?
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Eight wins to you? Is it nine wins? Is it
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: ten wins?
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: You don't really know, but you think the offense is
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: going to be able to at least put points up.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: They've invested in the offense. They got a young quarterback,
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: they got a young offensive mine head coach, they invested
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: an eighth round pick.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Well, you tell me this too, Like in terms of
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: maybe different from college to pro, but usually the biggest
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: jump you make as a team is from year one
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: to year two of a head coach. It's especially the
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: case in college. I would assume it's probably similar in
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: the NFL.
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: Right, I mean in the NFL, you'r one to year two,
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: four quarterbacks is the biggest jump you'll ever make. Okay,
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: So I I'm trying to think was that ever a
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: year one with a head coach? And I don't think
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: I was ever on a team that was year one
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: with a head coach.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad I brought it up. Then McCarthy, Pete.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: Carroll definitely not your one. Belichick, he was there for
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: a little bit. Sean Payton, Yeah, they're all there.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: But I mean, either way, I feel like that's usually
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: the case. Like, and you're trying to talk about install
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: and everything like that and like like laying a foundation.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: There's a lot to like about the Saints going into
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: this season with what like like the confidence you have
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: to I guess parlay the end of last year's success
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: into this year. And again we've talked about it at nauseum,
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: almost like the the the division itself is garbage I
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: mean it's got to be the weakest division top to bottom.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: I think in the NFL. Am I wrong about that?
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: Is there a weaker one NFC East?
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: No, not THEFC South. We could AFC North is not
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: the best this year, but no, the NFC South is
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: the answer.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: See, like everything's in play for you to make a
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: big sub.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: And you also brought up the fact that you make
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: the biggest leap for quarterbacks in year one a year two,
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: and so that should make even more confident going in
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: this year with Tyler Shuck.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: That's right, and I am We're confident again. What is
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: your what's the bar? Your setting is kind of depending
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: on whether you think it's going to be a good
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: or bad year.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: So what bar is it? I'm going to set it
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: at about nine wins. I think it is going to
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: be a very successful such an unsexy number eight. Yeah,
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: I know, all right, stick with us. We're going to
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: break right here and.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Off off the bench.

• 43:28
  Speaker 4: Welcome back here off the bench. That was Chris Marler
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: right there on the We're on people are hearing our voices.
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: Welcome back here, off the bench, flapping the raised canes studio.
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: We kind of talked about it. We were trying to
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: figure out exactly what the line movement was. But there's
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: been a little bit of align moment with LSU Clemson.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: That's shocking to me.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: I know it opened up, I mean I assume it
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: opened up months ago. It opened up at eleven and
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: a half, I believe, and currently is sitting right around
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: Some people have it at nine and a half, some
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: people have it at ten ten and a half, but
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: it's moved a little bit since the opening two.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: Points depending on which book you look at.
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: That's exactly right, trying to figure out exactly what the
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: reasons were why there would be movement, at least that
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: much movement.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, listen, Clemson is one of the best programs
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: in college football over the past decade. Right have you
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: seen the quarterback? I should know sent you guys this.
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: It look it looks like left coast gunner Stockton big
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: time quarterbacks Christopher. Would you you know how I feel
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: about the name Christopher. You and I've had this conversation.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: I don't love it when an adult goes by Christopher.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: I hate it.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: It's that's a four year old you rather go by.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: I would rather go by Tofer than Christopher. It's not
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: a good it's not good either way, but to go
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: that far over, I mean, like like to just drop
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: two points. I mean again the old miss one, which
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: is the big one. We probably would talk about. The
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: next segment is uh that moved technically four points from
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: the opening line last year where that where LSU was
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: favored by one and a half.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what it is, but it has
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: moved a little bit. We'll see how it goes.
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: Obviously ls's still a big favorite no matter what line
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: you're looking at.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: And hopefully the books are correct.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: I hope we beat the brakes off of them in
