1:32
Speaker 4: I'm sure he didn't even look good.
1:33

1:36
Speaker 2: resting you know what face as he was reading it.
1:38
Speaker 4: Oh, there's no doubt. Yeah, look terrible. I know it's
1:41
Speaker 4: his birthday and everything, and people are supposed to be
1:43
Speaker 4: nice to him, but some people hadn't earned it.
1:47
Speaker 2: Well, is there anything you can do about that? No?
1:50

Speaker 2: bite supports LSU Go Tigers. Speaking of Rosses, by the way,
2:29
Speaker 2: we'll be there tomorrow and every Friday during the football season,
2:33
Speaker 2: and I'm sure tomorrow one of our conversations will be
2:37
Speaker 2: about the result of the Washington Commanders and the Green
2:41
Speaker 2: Bay Packers from lambeau Field. I'm so fine JD five
2:46
Speaker 2: versus Jordan Love. I'm going for the Commanders, right, I mean,
2:50
Speaker 2: I got a cheer for my guys, JD five. The
2:52
Speaker 2: Packers don't have an LSU guy on their team, I
2:55
Speaker 2: can't cheer for them.
2:56
Speaker 4: Okay, but I would expect, I would expect most people
2:58
Speaker 4: around here absolutely to be cheering for the command That great.
3:00
Speaker 2: I'm cheering for definite for Jaden and definitely not Taylor,
3:06
Speaker 2: definitely not Tall.
3:06
Speaker 4: I'm cheering for ja That's gonna be a good game.
3:08
Speaker 4: Like when I watch NFL games, I usually cheer for storylines,
3:12
Speaker 4: I cheer for people I like, players I like, and
3:14
Speaker 4: then I cheer for the Packers as well. So I'll
3:16
Speaker 4: be cheering for JD. It's just not like I see
3:21
Speaker 4: the Packers play the like the Lions last week. I'm definitely,
3:25
Speaker 4: I'm one hundred percent all in. I don't want them
3:27
Speaker 4: to lose the Lions. But like you know, if JD
3:29
Speaker 4: goes off and beats the Packers, I don't see that happening.
3:31
Speaker 4: I think the Packers are way too good. There's gonna
3:34
Speaker 4: be a lot of juice that defense. My god, it
3:37
Speaker 4: looks like when they when the when the other team
3:39
Speaker 4: is running the ball, it looks like a zombie apocalypse
3:42
Speaker 4: because you got eleven Packers flying to the ball and
3:44
Speaker 4: you don't always get that in NFL regular season, right,
3:48
Speaker 4: A lot of times it's NFL regular season, it's all professionals.
3:52
Speaker 4: People know that it's livelihoods at stake here, and they
3:56
Speaker 4: know it's a long season. So a lot of times,
3:57
Speaker 4: like if an offensive lineman has a good set and
4:00
Speaker 4: lost the defensive linemen up, it's like, all right, cool,
4:02
Speaker 4: play over, like you got me this time. Next play,
4:04
Speaker 4: I might get you. And if I if I I'll
4:06
Speaker 4: give effort, like if I if I think I can
4:08
Speaker 4: get it. But there's a lot of brother in law,
4:10
Speaker 4: so just you know, was opening open and Opening weekend
4:14
Speaker 4: they were flying around like it was playoff football, and
4:16
Speaker 4: I would expect kind of that same energy. I mean,
4:18
Speaker 4: it's prime time, it's nighttime, it's uh Thursday night football.
4:24
Speaker 4: So man, I'm fired up. But good god, if anybody
4:28
Speaker 4: would ever thought that JD's season was a fluke last year, well,
4:32
Speaker 4: just turn on Week one. Yeah he looked great. Yeah,
4:35
Speaker 4: it look great. And that guy is just no sophomore
4:40
Speaker 4: a sophomore slump. It's the guy was just a ball
4:42
Speaker 4: and nothing that he did last last year was an accident.
4:45
Speaker 4: Like everything that when he plays, he plays in control.
4:49
Speaker 4: He has a moxie about him, he's got poised, and
4:53
Speaker 4: he's just just a smart football player. And he has
4:57
Speaker 4: built that football IQ. He has worked on it from
5:01
Speaker 4: his time at LSU, using the virtual reality. Being able
5:04
Speaker 4: to take coaching and do something when he did something bad,
5:07
Speaker 4: able to turn that around and not do that again. Yeah,
5:11
Speaker 4: which people a lot of people can't do. It's the difference.
5:14
Speaker 4: Like that's what the term coachable means, right, It's like
5:16
Speaker 4: when you're coachable, like a coach only has to correct
5:19
Speaker 4: you on something once, right, and if it's twice, you know,
5:23
Speaker 4: then he gets the three, four or five like that's
5:24
Speaker 4: in the NFL, you see a lot of good athletes
5:27
Speaker 4: not make teams because they don't have time to continue
5:31
Speaker 4: to coach. You coach the same thing over and over.
5:34
Speaker 4: But JD one of the greatest turnarounds I've ever seen
5:39
Speaker 4: from a week to week standpoint, was at LSU when
5:44
Speaker 4: he turned like it was like one quarterback was playing
5:47
Speaker 4: one week and then I saw this other quarterback play
5:49
Speaker 4: the next week and they weren't the same right after
5:52
Speaker 4: the Tennessee game and it wasn't the same person, and
5:54
Speaker 4: it was never the same person again. And it was
5:56
Speaker 4: the most impressive thing I've ever seen because we saw
5:58
Speaker 4: the physically physical talent. He doesn't have like the most
6:01
Speaker 4: when he got LSU didn't have the most like traditional mechanics,
6:04
Speaker 4: and I was kind of a hater on that from
6:05
Speaker 4: a mechanical standpoint, But if you get to the it
6:09
Speaker 4: doesn't matter what your takeaway when you're a quarterback with
6:12
Speaker 4: your takeaway. When I say takeaway, your your left hands
6:15
Speaker 4: touching the ball. You're in your drop back, and when
6:17
Speaker 4: you take the ball away from your left hand, that's
6:19
Speaker 4: I know the takeaway. It doesn't matter what that looks like.
6:22
Speaker 4: When you get to the end. There's your elbow in front,
6:24
Speaker 4: is it up? Are you extending out? Like there's different?
6:27
Speaker 4: Like you looked at Philip Rivers, you get Cam Newton,
6:29
Speaker 4: you looked at Tom Brady, Drew Brees, like you looked
6:31
Speaker 4: at all these guys. So I take the best quarterbacks,
6:34
Speaker 4: and then I take the guys that had like funky
6:35
Speaker 4: mechanics like Philip Rivers, like Cam Newton. They all look
6:39
Speaker 4: different throwing the ball from the takeaway and how they
6:42
Speaker 4: got to the to the front of their throwing motion,
6:44
Speaker 4: to the back end of the throw motion. So but
6:46
Speaker 4: they all look the exact same. When you get stills
6:49
Speaker 4: towards the end of the throw motion, it doesn't matter
6:51
Speaker 4: how they got there. They got there. Now, when you
6:54
Speaker 4: look at bad mechanics, the takeaways bad, and they don't
6:57
Speaker 4: get there, they don't get that elbow in the arm slot.
7:01
Speaker 4: And JD does that. Yeah, sometimes it didn't look conventional,
7:05
Speaker 4: but he does it. And man, he's accurate. He's an
7:07
Speaker 4: accurate passer. But mentally, man, what he built that football.
7:12
Speaker 4: IQ so excited to see him progress. I can only
7:16
Speaker 4: imagine that his career production is just going to keep
7:20
Speaker 4: improving and improving and improving because we saw a mistake
7:23
Speaker 4: that he made this past weekend with a little clock
7:25
Speaker 4: management thrown away, get an intentional ground and call into
7:27
Speaker 4: the first half ten second runoffs. That will never happen again,
7:32
Speaker 4: right to j Na. Yeah, it might happen again to
7:35
Speaker 4: some other guy in another young quarterback, but I can
7:38
Speaker 4: guarantee you that will never happen to him again because
7:40
Speaker 4: he's a guy that processes information, he learns from his mistakes,
7:44
Speaker 4: and he's coachable.
7:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I credit him a lot because he was like,
7:47
Speaker 2: look his freshman year at Arizona State, like he had
7:50
Speaker 2: some big moments, and he had Brandy Ayuk and he
7:52
Speaker 2: had Ricky Piersol and Rashe White like they were talented,
7:55
Speaker 2: and he went out there and he did like against Oregon,
7:57
Speaker 2: he made so many plays right, and it was just
7:59
Speaker 2: like off his raw athletic ability. But for him to understand, Okay,
8:03
Speaker 2: I've got this gift, right, I'm a hard worker. Let
8:07
Speaker 2: me pair that with all the things that I have
8:09
Speaker 2: access to to be able to build this football like
8:12
Speaker 2: you and now like you watch it, and I think
8:15
Speaker 2: his football, like Q is one of the best in
8:17
Speaker 2: the NFL. YEP, it is high, high level and the
8:21
Speaker 2: things that he gets done, and you pair that with
8:23
Speaker 2: his athletic ability, with his ability to throw the football, like,
8:26
Speaker 2: that's what makes it so impressive, is and he continues
8:28
Speaker 2: to work, continues to try to strive to be the
8:31
Speaker 2: best possible version of himself there, which is extremely high.
8:35
Speaker 2: And now, like Jeff Hafley and that Packers defense, they
8:39
Speaker 2: got to try to deal with it, and they were
8:40
Speaker 2: super aggressive in that first game. But as good as
8:43
Speaker 2: Jared Golf is, he's not Jayden Daniels. They're a completely
8:46
Speaker 2: different quarterbacks. So the game plan has got to be different.
8:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, let me tell you this. Let's not undervalue the
8:52
Speaker 4: addition of Michael Parsons that Green Bay defense in this game.
8:56
Speaker 4: Because if there is somebody that knows how to play
9:00
Speaker 4: Jayden Daniels, it's the guy that played him twice last year. Yeah,
9:03
Speaker 4: it's the guy that figured out a game plan last
9:06
Speaker 4: season alone. In two games the Cowboys versus the Commanders,
9:10
Speaker 4: Micah Parsons had four and a half sacks. That's pretty
9:12
Speaker 4: good versus Jayden Daniels. Hard to sack that guy. Yeah, right, sure,
9:16
Speaker 4: So he understands, and so don't undervalue what he brings
9:21
Speaker 4: to the table of just a Hey Micah, what'd y'all
9:25
Speaker 4: do last year? How did y'all affect him in the
9:28
Speaker 4: pass rush? And his coach being able to coach that
9:31
Speaker 4: defensive line in Green Bay is hungry, hungry young guys
9:34
Speaker 4: that want to learn, and you don't think they're picking
9:36
Speaker 4: Michael Parson's brain. Hey Michael, how did you get that?
9:39
Speaker 4: You get home? How did you get home? Where on
9:42
Speaker 4: your pass rush from the defensive end? What was your
9:45
Speaker 4: aiming point on Jade and Daniels? Where are you aiming
9:47
Speaker 4: for his back hip? Where you aiming for his front hip?
9:49
Speaker 4: When you got to his level on the field. If
9:52
Speaker 4: he's standing on the thirty five and you're rushing, did
9:55
Speaker 4: you stop on the thirty five? Did you stop your
9:57
Speaker 4: rush on the thirty four and peel back? Did you
9:59
Speaker 4: stop it on the thirty six? Did you go behind
10:01
Speaker 4: him and then peel back?
10:02
Speaker 5: Like?
10:02
Speaker 4: What was the coaching point? Because four and a half
10:05
Speaker 4: sacks in two games versus Jaydon Daniels is a shocking
10:08
Speaker 4: number to me. Yeah for one person. Yeah, I'm four
10:12
Speaker 4: and f sacks in two games against them in a game,
10:14
Speaker 4: is right? Okay, that's that sounds right. But four and
10:17
Speaker 4: a half sacks from one player. That is a type
10:20
Speaker 4: of impact. And that's why he commanded forty whatever billion
10:24
Speaker 4: dollars a year or whatever he got.
10:26
Speaker 2: So don't just punch in the air right now, punch
10:30
Speaker 2: in the air.
10:31
Speaker 4: I'ld be accidentally hits the wall even though his birthday,
10:35
Speaker 4: even though his birthday. I'm just kidding. I don't mist
10:37

14:17
Speaker 5: about just for quite some time when we cook gator
14:20
Speaker 5: every years for me, you know too, it's it's also
14:23
Speaker 5: about celebrating the Louisian heritage.
14:26
Speaker 4: You know.
14:26
Speaker 5: It's it's about uh, you know, as a chef, I
14:29
Speaker 5: have to appreciate the process of what it takes to
14:32
Speaker 5: get food to table or or swamp the table as
14:34
Speaker 5: it may be. Right, it was definitely one of those things,
14:39
Speaker 5: and I wanted to be able to say, hey, you know,
14:41
Speaker 5: we went and harvested this, we brought it to you guys.
14:44

14:47
Speaker 5: guys as a team. You know, not just about playing
14:50
Speaker 5: the gators this week, but it is about also about
14:53
Speaker 5: Louisiana heritage and eating alligators part of our lifestyle here.
14:56
Speaker 5: So you know, it was it's just been. It was
14:59
Speaker 5: such a cool experience. Man. We spent some time with
15:01
Speaker 5: the Cajun Navy and UH and understanding what they did,
15:06
Speaker 5: did do end did and you know, it was just
15:09
Speaker 5: a really great experience. And I got to spend some
15:11
Speaker 5: time with j. R. Belton, the director of Football OPOS.
15:13
Speaker 5: We went now with me and he got him a
15:16
Speaker 5: little gat too, and we got the bond a little
15:18
Speaker 5: bit and so it was I mean, it's just an
15:20
Speaker 5: extraordinary experience.
15:22
Speaker 4: So tell me about the guy, Like so size of
15:24
Speaker 4: the gator, what was the like? Was there cool stories
15:27
Speaker 4: about like, just tell tell me about the whole experience.
15:32
Speaker 5: So, you know, we we we checked probably fifteen lines
15:36
Speaker 5: in the morning, several of which had been had been stripped.
15:40
Speaker 5: There was a there was a couple of real small
15:43
Speaker 5: with the call pups that were under three feet probably
15:45
Speaker 5: you know, for under four foot three foot something like that.
15:49
Speaker 5: We ended up with two small gators which we brought
15:51
Speaker 5: back to cook on the smoker because they are sizeable.
15:55
Speaker 5: Of the two cook on the smoker, the one that
15:57
Speaker 5: I killed was nine feet and I think that thing
16:01
Speaker 5: probably went three fifty. Man, it was to me what
16:05
Speaker 5: I would consider a you know when you're standing on
16:07
Speaker 5: the ground. So the gator that I killed, it was
16:11
Speaker 5: it was on it was on land, right, and so
16:14
Speaker 5: I had to get out of the boat, go on land,
16:16
Speaker 5: straddle the gator in order to make the kill shot.
16:19
Speaker 5: And you know, there's a very small area that actually
16:23
Speaker 5: killed and so you have to be you know, precise
16:26
Speaker 5: in what you're doing. And there's a reaction to it.
16:30
Speaker 5: You know, I don't recall ever having my blood pumping
16:34
Speaker 5: and adrenaline rushing quite like, so you know, like standing
16:38
Speaker 5: next to this prehistoric creature that has you know, a
16:43
Speaker 5: severe business end, it was. It was just exotically adrenaline rush,
16:51
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. So then we got it
16:53
Speaker 5: back in the boat that kept twitching. I think, I
16:56
Speaker 5: think J R. And I we're kind of anticipating this
17:00
Speaker 5: Tommy Boy moment where rears up in the boat and
17:04
Speaker 5: everybody's shattering.
17:06
Speaker 1: Yeah.
17:06
Speaker 5: So yeah, it was awesome.
17:08
Speaker 2: Oh man, that is that's hilarious. Uh So, chev like,
17:11
Speaker 2: does the team like they appreciate like now, like you know,
17:16
Speaker 2: you got this deal, like and they're gonna have a
17:18
Speaker 2: chance to you know, have gator this week, and is
17:20
Speaker 2: this something that kind of maybe even fires them up
17:22
Speaker 2: a little bit.
17:24
Speaker 5: You know, we we don't make a big deal out
17:25
Speaker 5: of it until Monday, you know, like I don't celebrate
17:28
Speaker 5: it until we celebrate it, right, So if if in
17:31
Speaker 5: the event that we've been we we will smoke the
17:34
Speaker 5: gator sohoul all day Monday and it presents them, you know,
17:37
Speaker 5: as full gators. And if we don't win, we don't
17:39
Speaker 5: want to be so moistuous about it, and we'll like
17:41
Speaker 5: pick it and black and gator and and just put
17:45
Speaker 5: it into dishes that we would otherwise serve anyway, you
17:48
Speaker 5: know what I mean, So that it's it's not so
17:51
Speaker 5: in your face, you know, we we we uh are
17:54
Speaker 5: trying to be thoughtful about our process, you know what
17:56
Speaker 5: I mean.
17:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, So when you when you kill a gator, and
18:00
Speaker 4: did you do the like the butcher in yourself? Is
18:03
Speaker 4: it just the tail that we eat or is there
18:05
Speaker 4: like a gator backstrap? Is there other parts?
18:08
Speaker 5: Oh? Yeah, yeah, I mean there's there's definitely multiple parts
18:11
Speaker 5: of the gator that you need. We uh the big
18:14
Speaker 5: one I left behind and they peeled and cleaned. I
18:16
Speaker 5: think Chase actually did that one himself. The the the
18:21
Speaker 5: guy that we went out with had did the did
18:24
Speaker 5: the two smaller ones for us pretty quickly. Man, it
18:27
Speaker 5: was impressive like a guy, it was uh impressive with
18:31
Speaker 5: the knife. And that's coming from a chef, you know
18:33
Speaker 5: what I mean, very comfortable and confident with his knife.
18:36
Speaker 5: And but to your point about the question of the meat,
18:38
Speaker 5: there's actually different textures of meat, and there's different types
18:40
Speaker 5: of muscle tissues the gaters have. Gaters have a third
18:43
Speaker 5: kind of muscle tissue around their jaw that is meant
18:46
Speaker 5: to clinch that thing tight down, you know, in a
18:48
Speaker 5: in a millisecond, right, and that that muscle tissue super
18:53
Speaker 5: tender e thrial tender. It's kind of like pork wine
18:55
Speaker 5: or pork pork tenderline, you know. And the flavor of
18:59
Speaker 5: it mimics somewhere between pork and turkey, as do the legs, right,
19:04
Speaker 5: So they use those legs for swimming a lot. And
19:06
Speaker 5: they have it's a dark meat, right, so they there's
19:09
Speaker 5: there's a lot of myoglobe in there. It makes the
19:12
Speaker 5: meat dark and and it makes it, uh you know,
19:15
Speaker 5: more flavorful. And again it tastes a lot like pork,
19:18
Speaker 5: somewhere between pork and turkey. The tail actually, you know,
19:22
Speaker 5: has tons of meat on it obviously, and but it's
19:25
Speaker 5: a it's a lighter, wider meat that that. You know
19:28
Speaker 5: it excuse the expression, but it tastes like chicken, you
19:32
Speaker 5: know what I mean, Like it really does. It really
19:34
Speaker 5: is mimic of chicken. Now, there is a difference between
19:38
Speaker 5: eating wild gater, arm gater, farm gator. The fat content
19:42
Speaker 5: it tends to be a little stronger because the diet varies.
19:46
Speaker 5: A farm gator has a controlled diet that is the
19:49
Speaker 5: same every day, and a wild gater eats what it finds, right,
19:52
Speaker 5: sometimes that's live fish, sometimes it's not, you know, so
19:58
Speaker 5: you have to prepare a lot gator, trim some of
20:01
Speaker 5: the fat off in a little bit more. You know.
20:02
Speaker 5: The age of the gator impacts the flavor of it
20:05
Speaker 5: as well. The size of the gator impacts the flavor
20:08
Speaker 5: of it as well, So you know, you have a
20:12
Speaker 5: you have a kind of an optimum size there. And
20:15
Speaker 5: the younger the gators, the speeder, it is, like, the
20:17
Speaker 5: less likely it is to have a real profound, uh flavor.
20:21
Speaker 5: So not only that it's easier to put in the
20:23
Speaker 5: out Yeah.
20:25
Speaker 4: Not to like change the conversation away from a dead gator,
20:28
Speaker 4: because nobody likes a dead gator on Florida Week more
20:30
Speaker 4: than me. But what you're what you're explaining to me
20:33
Speaker 4: sounds so. I judged a gumbo cook off one time,
20:37
Speaker 4: and the chef that made this gumbo, it was all
20:41
Speaker 4: the protein was from a snapping river turtle, like a
20:44
Speaker 4: big one of the big old and he was explaining
20:47
Speaker 4: to me, and it blew my mind. He was like,
20:49
Speaker 4: there's I think he said, either five or six types
20:52
Speaker 4: of meat in this one animal. There's white meat, there's
20:55
Speaker 4: dark meat, there's pork, there's like some sort of fish
20:59
Speaker 4: like that. All the different types, and what you're explaining
21:01
Speaker 4: about the alligator, it sounds really similar.
21:04
Speaker 5: It really is. It is kind of similar. And turtles
21:07
Speaker 5: are equally as interesting to me. You know, like I
21:09
Speaker 5: eat about anything as a chef, I feel like I
21:13
Speaker 5: have to, you know, if I'm going to ask somebody
21:14
Speaker 5: to eat something new and interesting, you know, what what
21:18
Speaker 5: does that mean of me?
21:18
Speaker 4: If I want to?
21:19
Speaker 5: You know what I mean? So turtles, absolutely, there's different textures.
21:23
Speaker 5: You know. I think that there's some beat on a
21:25
Speaker 5: turtle almost that would remind you of clam that that
21:28
Speaker 5: gets really tense and tough, and there's you know, like, uh,
21:33
Speaker 5: there's other pieces, like you said, that's kind of turkey
21:35
Speaker 5: and porks.
21:36
Speaker 2: Yep, chef how like. And we've got a lot of
21:40
Speaker 2: these questions inside the chat about just like maybe all
21:44
Speaker 2: the different ways to cook a gator and do you
21:47
Speaker 2: ever switch it up or do you say, you know
21:49
Speaker 2: what this way works for me, Let's keep it like
21:51
Speaker 2: it is.
21:52
Speaker 5: Well cooking hole, I usually smoke. It's a It's a
21:55
Speaker 5: slow and low process that allows it to you know,
21:58
Speaker 5: not get too dry out. And I like to brin
22:01
Speaker 5: the gator, to put it down on an ice chet
22:04
Speaker 5: and soak it in a Brian over twenty four hours.
22:06
Speaker 5: That helps prevent it from drying out because gators by
22:11
Speaker 5: and large are pretty active creatures. And the fact that
22:13
Speaker 5: they're they're lean, you know, like that it has a
22:15
Speaker 5: pretty lean muscle tissue. And so if you when I
22:20
Speaker 5: smoke it, I'll take and basee what I what I
22:24
Speaker 5: love to use is like a mixture of chopped garlic
22:27
Speaker 5: olive oil and these calabria and chilies that are soaked
22:31
Speaker 5: in the oil. So the oil takes on the flavor
22:33
Speaker 5: of the garlic and the chilies, and I'll take that
22:35
Speaker 5: split it over the gator, and it'll take on kind
22:38
Speaker 5: of a gold red color while you're smoking it, and
22:41
Speaker 5: actually turns a little bit brown too, so it almost
22:44
Speaker 5: takes on like a natural color of the gator. But
22:46
Speaker 5: it also the oil prevents moisture from from escaping it,
22:51
Speaker 5: and it kind of locks in the moisture inside of
22:56
Speaker 5: it so that it doesn't dry out. It's kind of
22:58
Speaker 5: like cooking a turkey. You know, you base the turkey
23:00
Speaker 5: and you don't want you don't want it to dry out,
23:02
Speaker 5: so you can say you're basing it with oil so
23:04
Speaker 5: that the moisture doesn't steam and escape. It's the same principal,
23:07
Speaker 5: same process. And then you know, like I said, if
23:11
Speaker 5: we don't win and we don't feel like having the
23:13
Speaker 5: whole gator is the appropriate delivery, then we'll put you know,
23:16
Speaker 5: probably cook it and picks and eat and put it
23:19
Speaker 5: into like a sausty com or uh, you know, like
23:22
Speaker 5: saute it down and brown it and then and then
23:24
Speaker 5: braise it. I love fried gator, you know, like I
23:30
Speaker 5: am an absolute idiot for fried cater you know what
23:33
Speaker 5: I mean. But I think that's I think that's primarily
23:36
Speaker 5: tailed me. You know, the the leg muscle tissues are
23:40
Speaker 5: really good for braising, so you know, just like any
23:43
Speaker 5: other creature, there's gonna be tougher parts, so it's gonna
23:45
Speaker 5: make more tender parts. I've never actually, you know, put
23:48
Speaker 5: a like a steak off of the gator's leg onto
23:51
Speaker 5: the grill and eat it that way, but because it's
23:53
Speaker 5: so tender, I would definitely would try it. Now that
23:56
Speaker 5: I'm talking about it, I'm kind of curious about it. Uh.
24:01
Speaker 5: In philosophy, you know, you can take the different cuts
24:04
Speaker 5: with different textures, and and the more tender it is,
24:07
Speaker 5: the more high heat it will tolerate, and the tough
24:10
Speaker 5: is the longer lower the temperature needs to be.
24:14
Speaker 4: We're geting a lot of questions here in our chat,
24:16
Speaker 4: and I can tell there's some eager tailgaters that might
24:19
Speaker 4: be cooking some gator this week and so here so
24:21
Speaker 4: hashtag munchies. Is there a specific brine you would recommend
24:26
Speaker 4: for a gator or is it just kind of like
24:28
Speaker 4: a don't overthinking situation.
24:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it could be either one of those things,
24:32
Speaker 5: you know, like I with gators because it tastes like chicken. Primarily,
24:37
Speaker 5: I think a citrus for Brian throwing a little bit
24:39
Speaker 5: of lemon's ass or lemon rind in there. Not the
24:41
Speaker 5: juice necessarily, because the juice is a cilic and it will.
24:44
Speaker 4: Actually cook the meat.
24:45
Speaker 5: But putting a lemon and lemony flavor, or even a
24:48
Speaker 5: citrus with like lemon lime, orange tatsuma that you know,
24:53
Speaker 5: putting those peels in with your brine. But realistically it,
24:58
Speaker 5: you know, is as salt sugar water mixture that is
25:02
Speaker 5: meant to absorb into the muscle tissue to prevent it
25:04
Speaker 5: from trying out and when it does, so you know,
25:08
Speaker 5: the flavors that you put into it are going to
25:10
Speaker 5: be imparted into it. So you know, you could probably
25:13
Speaker 5: put some sage in there with with the lemon and
25:16
Speaker 5: oranges and stuff, and it it tastes quite well. You know,
25:21
Speaker 5: everybody kind of has their own opinion about what flavors
25:23
Speaker 5: go well together. But I think you know, a citrus
25:27
Speaker 5: of sage or or even marjoram, a little marjoram in there.
25:31
Speaker 5: I mean, you could probably make you know, like go
25:33
Speaker 5: an Italian stalcator. I don't know why you would, but
25:36
Speaker 5: you know, if you're kids, you're constructing it like a
25:39
Speaker 5: chicken dish, you know, Italian Italian chicken dishes are wonderful,
25:43
Speaker 5: So I think the flavor profile is personal preference. But
25:49
Speaker 5: the but the the brine itself is going to be salt,
25:54
Speaker 5: water and sugar, you know, like it's like a quart,
25:59
Speaker 5: a quarter of water or a gallon. I'd rather a
26:01
Speaker 5: gallon of water to two cups of sugar, two cups
26:03
Speaker 5: of salt, one cup of sugar. So it's I don't
26:06
Speaker 5: know if I got that clear enough. A gallon of water,
26:09
Speaker 5: two cups of salt, one cup of sugar. And then
26:11
Speaker 5: you're and then for every calen, you know, you put
26:13
Speaker 5: your seizing in, you know, like you're flavoring in as well.
26:17
Speaker 2: Chef last one before we let you go. After LSU
26:22
Speaker 2: is victorious on Saturday and you serve Gator on Monday,
26:27
Speaker 2: can two washed up former athletes who had a lot
26:30
Speaker 2: of success against the Florida Gators come and enjoy some Gator?
26:34
Speaker 5: You guys absolutely should.
26:35
Speaker 2: Okay, asking for a friend, asking for a friend and
26:38
Speaker 2: not saying it's us, but just asking for friends.
26:41
Speaker 5: Well, I probably have a private invite for you. You know,
26:45
Speaker 5: I think we're serving I think we're serving it for dinner.
26:47
Speaker 5: But I think exactly athletes are are capable of coming
26:50
Speaker 5: over and saying hello, all.
26:52
Speaker 2: Right, all right, fair enough, fair enough, Chef, you're the man.
26:54
Speaker 2: We appreciate it every single week. Look forward to seeing you.
26:57
Speaker 2: I'm assuming you're going to the game this week.
26:59
Speaker 5: You know I'm not. Actually I'm I'm off.
27:03
Speaker 2: Brother, and I know, I know, I know, I know,
27:06
Speaker 2: I know, but it was Florida and I didn't know.
27:07
Speaker 2: Maybe if that changed the math, you.
27:09
Speaker 5: Know, I actually I have. I've been offered tickets, and
27:12
Speaker 5: I promised, I promised time with my kids. We're gonna
27:15
Speaker 5: do all good.
27:17
Speaker 4: Think you might have the gate the Gator hunting bug.
27:19
Speaker 4: He might be out there on the boat.
27:20
Speaker 2: I know absolutely.
27:22
Speaker 5: I will definitely be watching the game.
27:25
Speaker 2: But yeah, all right, chef, We'll see you Monday for
27:27
Speaker 2: some victory Gator. I appreciate you, Chef. Michael Johnson good
27:32
Speaker 2: enough to join us every single week here on O TB.
27:36
Speaker 2: Man love that guy. Saw some some still clips still
27:40
Speaker 2: photo sorry, and some clips of him out there.
27:44
Speaker 4: That's awesome. And I've never done been I've been in
27:47
Speaker 4: Louisiana a long time. Have you done it before?
27:50
Speaker 2: Yes, but not to that extent. You know what I'm saying, Like,
27:53
Speaker 2: not going off and getting in the boat and making
27:55
Speaker 2: sure they brought it. Didn't do it the smartest way.
27:58
Speaker 4: I'll just you know, just jump on the back say.
28:01
Speaker 2: That like you know what so like when Steltz in
28:05
Speaker 2: the crew, like had the baby gator in the bats
28:07
Speaker 2: ub at West Campus, right, not the smartest way. No't worry,
28:11
Speaker 2: Jay has it's got duct tape on it, baby, No, sorry,
28:15
Speaker 2: electrical tape. It was an electrical tape.
28:17
Speaker 4: We're gonna put him in the thro with our with
28:20
Speaker 4: our king kobra.
28:22
Speaker 2: He did. He also had a snake. He also had
28:24
Speaker 2: that inside of the dorm room. All right too, what
28:29
Speaker 2: a war daddy. All right, we'll take a break more
28:32
Speaker 2: ot b uh, I believe we got to get to
28:34
Speaker 2: some NFL bachelor. Okay, when we come back with the
28:39
Speaker 2: birthday boy, Taylor Sharp and we'll have that for you
28:42
Speaker 2: when we jump back on, Oh, t b.
28:44
Speaker 1: Off the bench.
28:47
Speaker 2: All right. Since nineteen thirty, right since the nineteen there
28:51
Speaker 2: is a long time ago, Supreme Rice has been changing
28:54
Speaker 2: the way you take in your jumble eye at CUFE.
28:57
Speaker 2: Your stew's, your red beans and your gumbo. So whether
28:59
Speaker 2: it's the brown rice, medium grain, the very popular jasmine rice,
29:05
Speaker 2: that popular might go to. Supreme Rice is going to
29:08
Speaker 2: make your favorite dishes even better, man. And look, they
29:12
Speaker 2: are local, as local as local can be. I mean
29:15
Speaker 2: not only in Southwest Louisiana, but this entire area.
29:18
Speaker 4: I mean it has.
29:19
Speaker 2: Grown, milled, it is processed right here in Southwest Louisiana.
29:24
Speaker 2: You're supporting Louisiana farmers. I told you, man, we went
29:27
Speaker 2: to a baseball tournament in Crowley, and it was so cool,
29:29
Speaker 2: like Supreme Rice was everywhere right and they were the
29:32
Speaker 2: backdrop of the baseball field. It just felt like just Americana, right,
29:36
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. Like it was Supreme Rice.
29:38
Speaker 2: And they mean so much to the town. They mean
29:40
Speaker 2: so much to the area because they've been in this
29:42
Speaker 2: area since the nineteen thirty. So you pick up your
29:45
Speaker 2: bag of Supreme Rice today. That's at your Rouse, Is,
29:48
Speaker 2: your Walmart, your Kroger, all your ag food stores.
29:50
Speaker 6: Supreme Rice dot Com.
30:20
Speaker 1: Locked in on LSU football twenty four to seven. You're
30:23
Speaker 1: listening to Off the Bench one.
30:27
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in It is OTB. We are
30:29
Speaker 2: here live on location at Pro Dreams thirty nine thirty
30:32
Speaker 2: Burbank Drive in Benteriespro Dash Dreams dot Com is the website.
30:37
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw it back to studio because it is
30:39
Speaker 2: now time to play a little INFL Bachelor as Taylor
30:42
Speaker 2: Sharp is trying to pick his new team because he
30:45
Speaker 2: finally got tired of Jerry Jones and his antics and
30:48
Speaker 2: the Cowboys sucking. So here is Taylor Sharp on his birthday,
30:51
Speaker 2: Happy birthday, Tata picking his new NFL team, or at
30:55
Speaker 2: least getting down to the final two.
30:57
Speaker 3: Yes, we have four teams right now.
30:59
Speaker 7: Lot When I started this process, it was it wasn't
31:03
Speaker 7: an easy decision. I had been with the Dallas Cowboys
31:06
Speaker 7: my entire life, but finally decided enough was enough, went
31:09
Speaker 7: on a few dates and with some other teams, kind
31:11
Speaker 7: of got some feelers out at the opening weekend, and
31:14
Speaker 7: I'm down to four now. It's the New Orleans Saints,
31:16
Speaker 7: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans, and Buffalo Bills. Unfortunately, I
31:21
Speaker 7: do have to eliminate two of these teams today.
31:25
Speaker 3: I love this guy.
31:26
Speaker 7: I think he's probably the best football player in the NFL.
31:29
Speaker 7: But I am going to have to eliminate the Buffalo Bills.
31:33
Speaker 3: I'm not a North guy.
31:34
Speaker 7: I mean, I don't really like Snow, and the Buffalo
31:37
Speaker 7: Bills seemed to play in the snow pretty much more
31:39
Speaker 7: than any other team in the NFL, so for.
31:41
Speaker 3: That reason they're out.
31:42
Speaker 7: It also felt a little bit too bandwagon for me,
31:44
Speaker 7: almost almost a little recency bias. Love Josh Allen, always
31:48
Speaker 7: be a fan of him. Love Bill's mafia. I think
31:50
Speaker 7: it's the best fan base in the NFL. Don't know
31:53
Speaker 7: if I'm ready for that, because I want to go
31:55
Speaker 7: to a place where I can realistically go see a game.
31:58
Speaker 7: Buffalo kind of just not in the cards. So the
32:00
Speaker 7: Buffalo Bills are eliminated. Okay, So now we're down to
32:04
Speaker 7: three Saints, Titans, Bucks.
32:08
Speaker 3: Look, this is this next team. I always had a.
32:10
Speaker 7: Little fleeing with them. We flirted back and forth for
32:13
Speaker 7: a number of years. There is nothing I love more
32:18
Speaker 7: or nothing that I'm more proud of than being from
32:21
Speaker 7: the state of Louisiana. I love Louisiana. I think, if
32:23
Speaker 7: you ask me, pat Ruge is the greatest place to live.
32:26
Speaker 7: I know a lot of people craft on it. I've
32:27
Speaker 7: lived here my entire life.
32:29
Speaker 3: I love it.
32:30
Speaker 7: However, if I was to pick the New Orleans Saints,
32:33
Speaker 7: I would just be picking the Dallas Cowboys. They are
32:36
Speaker 7: the same team, their front offices ran the exact same
32:39
Speaker 7: They're both in bad shape and there's no clear path
32:41
Speaker 7: to winning in the future.
32:42
Speaker 3: I just don't see it happening.
32:44
Speaker 7: This was the hardest pick because it is our home team,
32:47
Speaker 7: but the New Orleans Saints have also been eliminated. So
32:50
Speaker 7: the final two we will be deciding with tomorrow the
32:54
Speaker 7: Tennessee Titans, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
32:58
Speaker 2: The Tennesseeans, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Just like I
33:03
Speaker 2: knew it would be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baker Mayfield.
33:09
Speaker 2: Tayte can't help himself, and then Tennessee Nashville, the home
33:14
Speaker 2: of country music.
33:16
Speaker 4: That's my prediction.
33:18
Speaker 2: You don't understand how much this man loves Baker Mayfield, but.
33:23
Speaker 4: If he's basing it just alf of that it's a
33:26
Speaker 4: short term.
33:28
Speaker 2: Well, I mean to be fair to Tayte and Tampa Bay.
33:32
Speaker 2: Mike Alstott played his entire career there, sure, so you
33:34
Speaker 2: can always fall back on that.
33:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he did. He waxed poetically about how much
33:39
Speaker 4: he loves Louisiana, which is very heartfelt, and I get that,
33:43
Speaker 4: but he does love it so I don't know if
33:46
Speaker 4: he's going to want to consciously choose a team out
33:50
Speaker 4: of thin air just because of quarterback and actively root
33:54
Speaker 4: against other Louisiana's in the same division. I don't know
33:59
Speaker 4: if he can do that, could choose somebody that twice
34:02
Speaker 4: a year, he's got to actively cheer against his neighbors.
34:07
Speaker 4: So I don't know, but I think Tennessee is the
34:09
Speaker 4: one here.
34:09
Speaker 2: You're going, Yeah, he cheered for the Cowboys. Saints fans
34:13
Speaker 2: hate the Cowboys.
34:15
Speaker 4: That's true, but they didn't always play them every year.
34:18
Speaker 4: The Bucks are playing him twice a year, maybe one,
34:20
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe once. Maybe he wants to smoke, but
34:23
Speaker 4: it look, well we already know he's not the smartest
34:24
Speaker 4: guy in the world.
34:26
Speaker 2: Look, it could be worse. I mean I can remember,
34:31
Speaker 2: you know, playing against them and being a little starstruck.
34:34
Speaker 2: Is like Dan deren Brooks is out there, like that's
34:36
Speaker 2: kind of cool. Like Rande Barber's out there. That guy's
34:39
Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer. Both those guys are Hall of famers,
34:41
Speaker 2: you know. Because so it could be worse. Could be
34:43
Speaker 2: the Falcons could be the Cowboys again.
34:45
Speaker 4: So he wants to be able to realistically go to
34:47
Speaker 4: games so I guess like New Orleans Airport, one of
34:50
Speaker 4: those who can southwest to It's been an hour and
34:52
Speaker 4: fifteen hour and a half flights southwest to Nashville. Yeah, Tampa,
34:57
Speaker 4: same thing, that's not bad, The same thing, not bad. Okay, realistic,
34:59
Speaker 4: you can get to either one. Buffalo, you right, be
35:01
Speaker 4: a little tougher. I thought Buffalo had a shot out
35:05
Speaker 4: of them.
35:05
Speaker 2: Honestly, Moonfish, you're onto something, he says. Tay Tampa Bay Tay.
35:09
Speaker 2: I say Tampa Bay Tay would just be easier, or
35:12
Speaker 2: just Tampa Tay, Tampa Bay Tay, Tampa Tay. Tampa Tay
35:16
Speaker 2: is good too, like Tampa Bay Tay. But Tampa Tay.
35:19
Speaker 2: That either one. It's acceptable here. The nickname possibilities. It
35:28
Speaker 2: was always going to.
35:28
Speaker 4: Be the books. It's always calling me out for messing
35:33
Speaker 4: with the cables down here. I can I can't hear that.
35:35
Speaker 4: Can you just see it?
35:37
Speaker 2: Y'all know this about him. He can't help himself.
35:40
Speaker 4: It's fidgety, like I made a little little as.
35:44
Speaker 2: He doesn't have a desk to slap.
35:52
Speaker 4: I do enjoy sitting on the couches, though I'll say
35:54
Speaker 4: that I do too. It's kind of relaxing.
35:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they're nice.
35:58

Speaker 2: All right, that is now time to get to your questions.
40:13
Speaker 2: Hashtag ask the bench do you think tom Brady and
40:16
Speaker 2: Tata had the same way to get to Tampa Bay?
40:22
Speaker 2: Same process Tampa Bay and tom Brady to Tampa Bay.
40:28
Speaker 4: I feel like tom Brady's was a lot more well
40:33
Speaker 4: thought out and constructed and executed, for sure.
40:39
Speaker 2: Hashtag asked the bench. If one of y'all sons got
40:42
Speaker 2: an offer from the Gators, would you let him go
40:44
Speaker 2: on a visit? No?
40:47
Speaker 4: Hell no?
40:47
Speaker 2: I mean seriously, like no. I've told like no, and
40:51
Speaker 2: I've told him no. There's places in the and we
40:56
Speaker 2: raise our children, right, No, I wouldn't want to go.
40:59
Speaker 2: This isn't like a joke either. There's places in the
41:01
Speaker 2: SEC they can go to. Like if my son want
41:03
Speaker 2: to play for Shane at South Carolina, if you want
41:06
Speaker 2: to play for Eli at Missou Hell, if he even
41:10
Speaker 2: want to play for sarcut Texas and LS you didn't
41:13
Speaker 2: offer him, right, that's a caveat here. Like else you
41:16
Speaker 2: didn't offer and probably get those offers. You probably get
41:18
Speaker 2: the shoes. But if they didn't, he ain't go play
41:19
Speaker 2: for those guys. He ain't going to play for the
41:23
Speaker 2: Gators in Gainesville, Florida, and ain't gonna happen because if
41:28
Speaker 2: you get an offer from Florida, you got one that's
41:30
Speaker 2: adjacent to it, and you're picking that one.
41:32
Speaker 4: Yep.
41:33
Speaker 2: I'm not singing Tom Petty unless I want to sing
41:35
Speaker 2: Tom Petty. I ain't wearing orange and blue, all right.
41:39
Speaker 2: I'm not wearing macromade jean shorts. I ain't doing that.
41:43
Speaker 2: Ain't having I want to give.
41:44
Speaker 4: A real thought out answer here, and I want to
41:47
Speaker 4: just follow up question to you. What if LSU didn't
41:53
Speaker 4: offer him and he was signing to make life changing
41:56
Speaker 4: money and Florida's the only one two offer that.
42:00
Speaker 2: Nope?
42:01
Speaker 4: Okay, no, I heard it here first people. No, we
42:05
Speaker 4: don't care what our children want. No, it ain't happening.
42:08
Speaker 4: We raise them, right, we raise them to hate Florida.
42:10
Speaker 2: Hashtag asked the bench, why does Taylor suck so much? Flynn?
42:14
Speaker 4: You got that one, so I need to explain it,
42:19
Speaker 4: just because because he's just he can't read a rim.
42:23
Speaker 4: You know, he makes bad decisions, poor decisions, and you
42:26
Speaker 4: had multiple opportunities to at least, you know, do the
42:30
Speaker 4: right thing and make it interesting and keep it competitive.
42:34
Speaker 4: We didn't say you need to pick our teams because
42:36
Speaker 4: of our teams, you know, but we can't support someone
42:39
Speaker 4: who makes bad decisions over and over and over. At
42:42
Speaker 4: some point, you just got to set them free. And
42:44
Speaker 4: I don't know what set them free means, just ridicule them.
42:49
Speaker 4: So we're there. It's happy birthday, though I hope it's
42:52
Speaker 4: a great one. We are you?
42:56
Speaker 2: Silent hashtag asked the bench, Well, I do it to you?
43:02
Speaker 2: Which game outside of LSU Florida are you going to
43:05
Speaker 2: be talking about the most on Monday show. I'm assuming
43:09
Speaker 2: college and say I think it is going to be.
43:16
Speaker 2: I think Clemson and Georgia Tech.
43:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, because we do like Haynes King a lot.
43:20
Speaker 2: Clemson and Georgia Tech. I think that one's going to
43:22
Speaker 2: be the first one. And I think Tennessee and Georgia
43:26
Speaker 2: because if Tennessee upsets Georgia, that's certainly newsworthy. And if
43:31
Speaker 2: Georgia houses Tennessee, right, I think that's newsworthy as well,
43:35
Speaker 2: because Georgia's kind of have been slow out of the
43:37
Speaker 2: gate and they haven't you know, really dominated other They've
43:40
Speaker 2: won against Marshall and Austin p but they hadn't really dominated.
43:43
Speaker 2: And so if they go there and they dominate Tennessee,
43:45
Speaker 2: I think that's storyline. Those are two you mentioned A
43:48
Speaker 2: and m notre Dame match.
43:51
Speaker 4: That might actually be Vanderbilt, that actually might be South Carolina.
43:55
Speaker 4: That's going to be a great game South Carolina. We
43:58
Speaker 4: are obviously a very high on here at off the bench,
44:03
Speaker 4: so we'll see how that goes. Vanderbilt coming off a
44:05
Speaker 4: great win, so to dynamic quarterbacks, both guys that can
44:11
Speaker 4: take over a game. So I'm excited to see the
44:14
Speaker 4: replays of that one because I'll be in Death Valley
44:16
Speaker 4: cheering on the Tigers. Not worried about that game, but
44:18
Speaker 4: I'll watch it the next day. Maybe maybe not.
44:21
Speaker 2: Hashtag asked the bench, is there anyone on Florida staff
44:23
Speaker 2: who played in seven that's still sour about y'all cooking them?
44:29
Speaker 2: I don't know the staff that well, probably not, maybe
44:32
Speaker 2: like somebody like deep within equipment or trainer or something.
44:36
Speaker 2: Take case, he's a sideline reporter. He played tight end
44:39
Speaker 2: for the Cators. They good guy, though, from Longview, Texas.
44:42
Speaker 2: Shout out to the Lobos. But I don't. I don't
44:44
Speaker 2: know that there's anybody on the staff. I'd have to
44:46
Speaker 2: look it up and see. Now, they got a lot
44:48
Speaker 2: of blue polos in their coaching picture. They got it.
44:51
Speaker 2: They had a gosh a Coordinator of game Changing Moments.
44:55
Speaker 2: That's an official title that was on their staff. So
44:59
Speaker 2: maybe saw Maybe just because they got so many coaches.
45:02
Speaker 4: He's the assistant coordinator of game changing Moments.
45:04
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I think the coordinator of game
45:07
Speaker 2: changing moments got let go.
45:09
Speaker 4: Seriously, I don't dance. I think you got let go.
45:12
Speaker 4: It's his fault if you want to Flynn feeling.
45:17
Speaker 2: Flynn is filling tea Bob's little shoes with the Taylor
45:21
Speaker 2: hate them cankles are going to muffin top and tease
45:23
Speaker 2: little shoes.
45:27
Speaker 4: A muffin top.

Speaker 2: We can't beat that. We're not even gonna try.
45:36
Speaker 4: We're canles.
