  Speaker 2: Look at these new boards. Dang, dude. Are you kidding
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: me right now?
• 0:52
  Speaker 6: I wonder who that is.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Who is that guy?
• 0:54
  Speaker 8: If you're below the age of 18, earmuffs real quick.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: But my God, sex right there.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Something tells me that model has thick ankles.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: The thickest. Yeah, right, bro. T-H-I-C-C with two C's.
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: That pretty hot and tempting.
• 1:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah, pretty hot and tempting. My goodness.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Well, that was fun this morning.
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: What is going on out there?
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: It wasn't at all. It felt like there was a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: hurricane and we had to evacuate.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:26
  Speaker 7: Where were people evacuated? Where were y'all coming from? Where
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: are you going to?
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: I don't get what's happening.
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: I just pulled like 17 illegal moves. Thank you, Taylor,
• 1:38
  Speaker 7: to get here. All of us are coming in different directions.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Took us forever to get here.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: It was a lot of fun.
• 1:46
  Speaker 7: I apologize to the cars on Nicholson and Lee, what
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: they had to see me do.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Okay. We had to do some things.
• 1:53
  Speaker 8: Okay, so I'm looking at the... traffic report on Twitter
• 1:58
  Speaker 8: right now.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Avoid I-10. Yeah. Got it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 8: An overturned 18-wheeler causing severe backup along Interstate 10 in
• 2:07
  Speaker 8: Baton Rouge on Wednesday morning. All westbound lanes and two
• 2:10
  Speaker 8: eastbound lanes are closed at Dow Rumpel.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: But I also think it's closed right here by government.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: It's closed both ways.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: Closed both directions. You can't go on Oklahoma Street either.
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: That kind of cuts across Nicholson. It's a way to
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: get around to the interstate. Look at that. Honestly, I
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: hope everybody is safe out there. I know it's a
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: traffic accident of all.
• 2:32
  Speaker 8: We hate to yell and pump the fist when there
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: is a real accident and could be injuries.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, but I hope everyone's safe.
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: But it certainly doesn't minimize the frustration of being in
• 2:44
  Speaker 8: your car, for sure.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: You know what will tell me? Facebook.
• 2:48
  Speaker 9: I feel like Facebook always has the hot dogs.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Check that out.
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: Dang.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. You know.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: That's crazy.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: But I took Highland all the way down. Just after
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: y'all texted.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Thanks for the heads up. I, like, ran a van
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: of children off the road trying to get off at
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: College Drive. I was like, I ain't sitting in this.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Ain't happening. I think they call those school buses. No, vans.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: It was a mom. It was a private family. It
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: was a more intimate setup.
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: That could have been me back in Pearl when we
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: had the 15 passenger van.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Now when you get off in college, I'm in the
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: right lane. I'm like, okay, I'm going to turn. They
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: have that little block that doesn't allow you to get over. Oh,
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: we drove over that.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, clearly.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: A lot of people doing that today. Well, then I
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: saw a cop behind me. I was like, oh, am
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: I going to do it? It said Eberville Parish on
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: the side. I was like, we're going over this block.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: You ain't worried about that.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: You got nothing on me today.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: It was a fun morning, for sure.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of mediums being driven over today, for sure.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I got on Highland.
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: Highland was actually pretty, it was okay. I don't want
• 3:57
  Speaker 8: to give anybody secrets out there. If you're on Highland,
• 3:59
  Speaker 8: that's like your way to get somewhere. But it was okay,
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: except I got a little road rage. Got behind one
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: fella going like 17 miles an hour on Highland with
• 4:07
  Speaker 8: nobody in front of him.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: I gave him a little, you know what I'm saying?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: The brights?
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: You flashed the brights at him?
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I flashed the brights at him. He didn't love it.
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: I mean, he bright checked you? He started mean mugging
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: me in his side mirror.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Like, what are you doing? I'm like, I don't know.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: I will flash my brights at somebody.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: That's like, I'm going to show him. Flicked them flashers on.
• 4:27
  Speaker 8: I feel like when it's dark, hit a little flash
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: at him. I think it's a little bit more aggressive
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: than a toot. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: Because I'll do it repeatedly.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: We don't have time to putt around. It's like, if
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: you were going 25 yards, Fine. It's well under the
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: speed limit.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: But, like, 18? That's aggressive.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: We flash the.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Nobody likes 18. We do.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: We do a bright flash on the interstate three days
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: a week.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah. This guy didn't like it. I
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: don't think anybody does.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: I mean, but, like.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: But guess what? He sped up.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: Put the pedal to the metal.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: He sped up. 706, but Ludacris had a song about that. Mm.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Moo.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: 706. Can't tell you.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: Earmuffs.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Get out the way. Yeah, get out the way. Get
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: out the way. I drove through campus, though. It's the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: first time in a while. It was dark.
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: At campus before 630, very easy to navigate through.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: So I will say, if you're out in the car
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: today and you don't have to leave your bubble, just don't.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Don't go exploring today. Wait like two days.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Just to be safe.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be a while. It was fun.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I got to take a super secret back way. I
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: always like to do that because I like to know
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: different ways to get out of situations, right? Hadn't taken
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: this way in a while. Still a little reliable. Not
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: going to say what it is because I don't want
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: anybody else taking it, but it was nice.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: Traffic is kind of like, you know, when I get
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: the old ratchet straps out or some bungees or something
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: and lock something down to the bed of my truck,
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: traffic ain't going nowhere.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Nowhere today.
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: And it's going to be It's going to be a
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: day in Baton Rouge today, so lock in, people.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Work from home. I think Government Street. I know. What?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Government Street, it will get like that every once in
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: a while. It'll be like that? Like when there's something
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: on the interstate.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Well, because a lot of them got to get back
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: to the bridge.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: So they're going down and get going.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: And Government Street's not made for that. No.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: Government Street is not made for really anything.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: No. The old girl's not ready for that.
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: And somebody told me People have told me that it
• 6:39
  Speaker 9: used to be two lanes, and then they made it
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: so it could be walkable.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: They put that thing in the middle.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Is that true?
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: Like, it used to be two lanes on each side?
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember when they were building it. There's one
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: thing I want to do.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: It's walk government.
• 6:50
  Speaker 9: It really frustrates me that it's not anymore, because there
• 6:54
  Speaker 9: will be people going below the speed limit, like you
• 6:56
  Speaker 9: just mentioned.
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: And I can't get out of it. They can't.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I can't, like... You know?
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know. Anyways.
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: See, look, my whole plan today was we'll start the
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: LSU versus SEC stuff in the second segment. First segment,
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: I was like, we're not here to, you know, right
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: off the top get into it, trying to make you happy.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: You're going to work. You're going to school. You're probably
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: not the happiest. Sure.
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: Trying to put a smile on your face before you
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: got to walk into the building. Old Baton Rouge traffic
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: gets the best of us.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: This would make me happy just because I'm like, hey,
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: other people had to go through this too.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's up. That is a weird view on life, Taylor.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Look, you guys know I love my energy drink.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Spilled my monster.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: All in my center console. Because I'm turning and a
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: dude's like, crap, I got to get over. Cuts in
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: front of me. I had to hit the brakes. Drink
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: tipped over. It was not a good morning.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Why was it not in the cup holder? Why was
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: it what? Why was it not in the cup holder? No,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: So my truck's got these, the one I just got
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: has these really wide cup holders. So a lot of
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: the cans still like, Clank in there. There's probably a
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: way to fix it. I don't have.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Anyways. We got NFL tonight. That's exciting.
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: I'll put a smile on people's face before we get
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: to the serious stuff.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Patriots Seahawks. That's awesome. In Seattle. It's going to be better.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: It's going to be great. I think Seattle's still a favorite.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's my favorite.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, two and a half. They're playing in Seattle. The
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Seahawks just kind of ran their roster back. I mean,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: they drafted, obviously. Lost a couple. They lose Kenneth Walker,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: but they drafted a running back in the first round.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Jadarian Price is going to be exciting. He's probably the
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: guy I'm most excited to watch. Him and then how A.J.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Brown does on the Patriots. That's the two. I'll be
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: excited to see this season. Were the Patriots fluky a
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: little bit last year?
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: I know it's hard to be a fluke on a
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: 17-game season in the National Football League. But you watch them,
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: and nothing they do is super.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: It doesn't seem like the best.
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: They don't feel dominant, but they just kept winning games.
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: They're good at everything, though. They're just kind of good
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: at everything. Josh McDaniels is one of the best play
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: callers to ever do it. At least he is in
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: New England. He's not a good head coach, and I
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: think he knows his role. He understands that. He gives
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: it a good old college try at head coach, but realizes, man,
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: there's a place for him. And I was in that
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: room with him for a hot minute.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Not long. So small sample size I got to pull
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: from here.
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: Their schedule was pretty favorable looking back at it now.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Well, they had a last place schedule.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Now they're going to have a first place schedule.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: So.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: We'll see, Matt.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: What do we consider fluky? Like single digit wins or.
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: Well, your quarterback, second year quarterback was in MVP talks.
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: Like you had, what was their, what was their record
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: by the end of the year? You make it to
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: the Super Bowl.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: 14.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Was it 14 and three?
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I would say that. Something like that. I mean, that's
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: a dominant record.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: And they make it to the Super Bowl. With a
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: second-year quarterback. That's really hard to do, and it was seemingly.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Out of nowhere. I think it was 14-3.
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: So I'll be interested to see if they can even
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: get to replicate that.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Who the hell am I thinking of?
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Someone really good.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: I think they finished the regular season 10-7.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking of the Broncos.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Sorry, guys.
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: I can't do any research right now because I'm too
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: locked in. Because I don't know if Jake– Jake wasn't
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: here when I said it.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: No, 14-3. They're ponchos? Yeah, they're 14-3. They were 14-3.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: But that, us saying, no, no, no, it's not 14-3.
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: That is a feeling that a lot of people, that's
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: what Matt's talking about. That's the kind of point I'm
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: trying to make.
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: It's like, man, when you look back at their season,
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: it's like, man, that was a dominant football season that
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: they had.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: I think that was a good thing.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: But how?
• 11:09
  Speaker 8: I didn't watch a game where I was like, man,
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: this team is dominant. So I'll be very excited to see.
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: if they can replicate that. I mean, it's kind of
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: like the Chiefs for a long time. Like, they win
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: one-score games. Every one-score game. Every one-score game possible. And
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: then this past year, it just kind of flipped. It
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: flipped on its head. Can they get that back? Can
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: New England be dominant? Because I look at this, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: I just haven't compared rosters.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I haven't done anything.
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: I'm looking at this game, and I'm like, man, Seattle,
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: in Seattle, opening night, Super Bowl champs. I know all
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: the sexy stuff on their team.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: I've watched them play. I watched them go toe-to-toe and
• 11:44
  Speaker 8: beat the Rams last year. And then, like, I think,
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: I don't know what the line is, but I'm going
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: to take Seattle. Just based on that alone, I don't
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: know if they can replicate it. I think the ghost
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: of Rossini might be pretty heavy.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: The ghost of Rossini. She's still with us.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, no, no. Not with ESPN. She wasn't with
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: ESPN either. Wherever she was. Where was she? On the boat. Athletic? Yeah.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: On the boat. She was on a boat. She was
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: on the boat. She do be loving boats. Prego Boats.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: I will say, A.J.
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: Brown, to Taylor, to your point, I am excited about that. But,
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: Stephon Diggs had more receiving yards than A.J.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Brown did last year.
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: Now, 15 games to 17 games, but Diggs actually had more.
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: So it's not like they didn't have a guy. Like,
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: Stephon Diggs, for some reason, was kind of underappreciated there.
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: He did exactly what they needed.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: A.J.
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: Brown's got a quarterback that's different than Jalen Hurts, so
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: we'll see what happens there.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: But, I mean, Diggs was pretty good last year.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was. I'm more interested in, like, Can A.J.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: kind of pick it back up? Because, like, the talent's
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: still there, and him and Jalen Hurts didn't get along. Like,
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: that came out two weeks ago. So I'm more interested
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: to see what he can do.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Well, Jacob, what did you think? You were at training camp.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: You saw him live in person.
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: You saw the Patriots practice.
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: We saw him, like, day three, day four of training camp,
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: and he was still trying to figure out his new team. Like,
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: they'd blow the whistle, and everybody would start, like, going
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: to a drill, and he'd be, like, looking around, like,
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: hold up. Where am I supposed to go here? So
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: he didn't have his footing yet. And he was going
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: against Christian Gonzalez. I told you all that. And he just,
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: you know, Christian Gonzalez won the best top three guys,
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: I think, in the league. Like, I think he's that good.
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: So you're trying to figure some new stuff out. You're
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: going against a guy like that. Now, when he had
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: the joint practices, remember, like all those videos were coming out,
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: he was kind of cooking against his old team, the Eagles.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: So he's a good player.
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: We'll see if it's going to be enough for the
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: Patriots to do what they did, even though they're playing
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: a much, much more difficult schedule.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: And again, the NFL starts tonight. We have actual... Regular
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: season game tonight.
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: We've got another one tomorrow with the 49ers and the
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: Rams from Australia.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: All right. We had traffic. Got to ruin the mood
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: here to open the show.
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: We got excited about having NFL action, but now we
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: got to go back to it.
• 14:08

  Speaker 5: Welcome back to Off The Bench. Wednesday's show is brought
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: to you by Poncho. All right.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Welcome back in OTV. Yesterday, the 20th anniversary of Future
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Sex Love Sounds. Justin Timberlake album. Unk didn't know what
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: that was. That's Unk. Is that the name of the album? Yeah.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Pretty popular album. A lot of people know the name
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: of that one. 20 years old there, bud. That's okay, baby. 20.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: That means the song Sexy Back is 20 years old.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: It's 20 years old. Yeah.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: I don't like that.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: I hate it. I was a junior in college. Yeah.
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: I just remember seeing Garrett Weibel walk around the locker
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: room saying, I've been getting sexy back.
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: And Garrett was about, at that time, I mean, like,
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: not traditionally sexy.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I'm dead. Not traditionally sexy. You know, Garrett played offensive line.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's not Justin Timberlake.
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: Garrett's skinny now and DJs around town and looks great.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: But at the time, he was an offensive lineman.
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: He DJs around town.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Shout out to Wobble. Shout out to Wobble.
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: He's got to be playing sexy back on the set.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: This is the best song in this.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Album, though.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Ooh, there's so many good ones. Anyways, shout out to JT. Yeah.
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: Well, everybody kind of knows kind of the gist of
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: what's happening between.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Greg Wanky and LSU. Did y'all know? This is a
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: big deal. Did y'all know that?
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: Wait, what happened?
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: Later on, I don't know when, what time, he's going
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: to come on, but Our commander-in-chief, Donald Trump, he's actually
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: going to address this.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: He's going to say something about it?
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Honey locked in on the SEC?
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: He's locked in on the SEC. Big time LSU guy.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I think he's actually going to address this a little
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: bit later. Wow. So we'll carry that live, obviously.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Sensitive Sankey.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Throwing it to national.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Throwing it to national. So that's coming up later? At
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: some point. Okay. All right. Video gets massaged. So at
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: this point, so at this point, We're waiting for it
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: to download.
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: We do know what's going on, and we've talked about it,
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: but certainly yesterday, because that's just how it always is.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: 1001 stuff's going to break.
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: And I know Hunt had a very passionate take, as
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: passionate as you'll see Hunt Palmer about it, and it
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: was actually a really good take yesterday. I thought he
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: handled it as good as anybody yesterday. It is LSU
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: versus DSCC. And just some bullet points. I think LSU
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: can own that, no, they did make some mistakes in this.
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: LSU is not free of all of this. And look,
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: we're an LSU show. We're LSU people. But also, we
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: can understand that mistakes were made.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Okay? With how things were handled.
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: But yesterday, I guess it was later in the night,
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: I was at a middle school slash JV football game,
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: so I don't even know what time it was, but
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: it came out that LSU had filled its roster with
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: its last two spots.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: And Wright and Harris were not the two names that
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: were added.
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: It was actually players that were injured that were already
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: on the team that were added to field the last
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: two rosters.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Spots. All right.
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: So it almost like if this continues on, it makes
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: the SEC's continued escalation look even more over the top
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: for me. So if the players aren't going to play
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: for LSU, then what exactly right now are we still
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: fighting about? And for me, at this point, it feels
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: like the SEC is more concerned with LSU challenging its
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: authority than who actually takes the field. It's not any
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: longer about who takes the field. I think it's about
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: LSU challenged the SEC's ruling. The SEC said, you can't
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: do that. It's a privilege for you to be in
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: our conference. and we are going to threaten to kick
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: you out of the conference. A charter member of the conference.
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: Since the 1930s, LSU has been a part of the conference.
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: And think about all the ish that's happened. We could
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: go down the line, right? We could go down the
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: line when it was 12 schools when we were playing,
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: 14 schools when they added A & M in Missouri,
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: 16 schools when they add Texas and Oklahoma, and we
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: could find so many things that each institution has done
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: And this.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Is the hill that you want to die on.
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: This one, you're going to threaten to kick LSU out
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: of the SEC over this. And the fact that all
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: these presidents are like getting behind commissioners thinking now, like
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: in like trying to be tough behind him really bothers me.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: They're like the hype guy. Hold me back, bro. Exactly.
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: Saying, hold me back. It's like they were waiting on it.
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: And they're licking their chops. And they're like, what are
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: we talking? You're going to kick LSU out of the
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: conference for something they didn't even go through with.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: They never got put on the roster. Because you don't
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: like Lane. Because you got challenged.
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: And because Lane, right, wrong, or indifferent, however you feel
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: about it, poked the bear. And he didn't back down.
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: And his comments during the halftime speech, apparently that bothered
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: a lot of people.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: His comments after the game, apparently that bothered people.
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: We can't kick people out of conferences for hurt feelings.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: People challenge authority all the time.
• 22:08
  Speaker 9: Not only did they not put them on the roster,
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: they added Aiden Anding.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: And who's that?
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Gabe Relaford.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: Gabe Relaford. On the roster. So, like, now... they're not
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: going to be allowed on it at all, period. So
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: it's just so stupid. And it's a lot of showboating.
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: And I don't know, like Greg Sankey, ever since he
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: started bringing his own microphone to SEC.
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: Media Days, I'm like, you are something else.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, look. Let it out.
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: This is a ultra sensor. Like if he was in
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: an NFL locker room right now, he'd get a sensitivity fine.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Right? Oh, sensitive? Yeah.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Sankey.
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: Greg Skanky came down here and he got butthurt that
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: Lane's trying to push the envelope, trying to push the rules.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: And he lives in this world.
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: Skanky's sitting here in this world where nobody can enforce anything.
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: So I kind of feel like this is just like
• 23:05
  Speaker 8: a power check a little bit. Like, I'm just going
• 23:07
  Speaker 8: to check you a little bit to see if you'll listen,
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: see if you'll abide. But this vote is real. Like,
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: this is... There is a chance, now, albeit a small chance,
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: the chance that LSU gets dismissed from the SEC. And, yeah,
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: it might not be very likely, but the chances aren't zero,
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: which is how we're in this position. And just like
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: you said, there's a lot of fault in everything. LSU
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: did some things wrong.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: We highlighted it here on this show. Talked about it
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: at office. You pushed it too far. Like, why did
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: you do this? Was the juice worth the squeeze?
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Blah, blah, blah.
• 23:46
  Speaker 8: We don't need to rehash any of those conversations because
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: we're right here now. But this is an ego play
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: by Greg Sankey. And he's trying to push the power.
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: And I think he's just really butthurt and mad. And
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: it's frustrating that the Southeastern Conference, y'all, the best conference
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: in college football is so petty. that even though, yeah, okay,
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: Lane pushed the envelope, but then he backed down. He
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: backed off at the end. It did the thing that
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: he should have done, probably a little bit faster.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I got it.
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: You got to sit and get cross-examined for three and
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: a half hours.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: I get it. Your butt hurt. Don't be sensitive. Don't
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: be a little B. And this isn't like, well, they
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: did it so we can do it too.
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: Y'all know our stance about guys that were in NFL
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: camps and coming back.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: We've talked about it often. I think once you're a pro,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: you're a pro, okay?
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: But you didn't go after Nate Oates this hard who
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: played a player, played him for a handful of games.
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: And you didn't go after them at all. And you
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: could be like, well, the rules weren't in place like
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: they are now.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: It wasn't as straightforward. Well, why wasn't it?
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: Like you played a guy in five games in the
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: same situation that we're talking about.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: And again, I'm not like, oh, well, they did it.
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: If it's done the way it is now, why was
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: it not done that way during basketball season? And like,
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: you're not trying to kick Alabama or Nate Oates out
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: of the conference.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: You brought up a good point about de-escalation because they
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: said that in their little statement yesterday, which was honestly
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: all over the place talking about, you know, Elaine's comments
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: at halftime shows a lack of de-escalation. First off, that's
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: not against the rules. You're, you're, That's where it lost me.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: Like you want to enforce your rules.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Fine.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: I think there should be more rules in college football,
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: but you can't punish someone for not breaking rules and
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: then saying, well, we didn't like your comments. Our feelings
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: got hurt. So we're going to kick you out. But
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: also the LSU kind of did deescalate by not adding
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: them to the roster on Friday when they absolutely could
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: have under the court order. And then the sec comes
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: out about this. Like, I think Greg saying he was
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: embarrassed having to come down here. Like you mentioned, Maggie
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: cross-examined for three hours, have to admit that he hasn't
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: read all the bylaws, which is a wild thing that,
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: actually happened. So he's like, I want to publicly humiliate LSU.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: I want them to have to back off. And I
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: want to show everybody that I won, that they didn't
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: do this on their own doing.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: I won.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: It kind of just makes it look like a jackass. Like,
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: let's just be honest. Like that's, that's kind of where
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: it is. If you want to do this privately, cool.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: But to your point, it's an ego play to come
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: out and do this in public. I don't think LSU
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: is going to get voted out now that the players
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: aren't on the roster. I doubt a vote even takes place,
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: but I just, I think it's kind of a lot
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: to do about nothing. Like what was the point of
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: all this?
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know.
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: Is there a chance the vote doesn't happen? We're not attorneys,
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: and we're not.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Going to act like we're attorneys.
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: I think there's a reason why LSU added the two
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: players last night. I'm sure they got together. They took
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: a look at everything. They didn't roster them in week one,
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: so it was trending in that way. And so they said, okay,
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: let's try to be the bigger person here, at least
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: in my opinion. And if you're a fan of another
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: SEC school watching this, you're probably like Homer.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm just saying.
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: If you roster two other players publicly like they did,
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: I mean, Pete Thamel had it. Everybody has breaking news
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: last night. This is you trying to say, okay, well,
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: we're not going to put those guys on the roster.
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: We're going to lock it at 105. They're not going
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: to be on there. Is it enough to not have
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: a vote?
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: Again, when there is a national reporter like Dele saying
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: that the presidents are, and I quote, out for blood,
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: does that make you think that they're not going to vote?
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: For what?
• 27:38
  Speaker 8: It's like he's trying to run the SEC like a
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: country club, like a social club. It's an honor to
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: be here. We control the rules. There's a set of rules,
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: but then there's unspoken rules as well. And if you
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: don't abide, if you lose some friends in the country club,
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: we just have the right to kick you out because
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: we saw something that I like because you wore.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Your hat backwards. And you can enforce it. And you
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: can enforce that. There's language you can put in there
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: to make it sound like you can.
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah, because it's a social club. It's a country club.
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: It's an honor to be here. It's like you're privileged
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: to be here. And you are, and you love being there,
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: and you want to be there. But then kind of
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: to that same analogy, if you keep wearing your hat backwards,
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: then yeah, something could happen.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: But if you just turn it the right way, then
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: just go on about your business.
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: I got to tell you.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: LSU kind of.
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: Just turned their hat the right way. And they did.
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: And the right people to the roster.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: We're going to clap.
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: I really want to read this one.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: And I normally forget to clap.
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: Y'all are sounding quite sensitive that the SEC won and
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: got what they wanted. Also goes to show how far
• 28:48
  Speaker 9: down the pecking order LSU is not that Texas and
• 28:51
  Speaker 9: Oklahoma are around.
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: I think he meant now that Texas.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: And Oklahoma are around. Is it Bama Gum?
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: I don't know who this is.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: No, Bama Gum's cooler. Big Big 12 guy. He's a
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: good dude.
• 29:00
  Speaker 9: I think the only person that's coming off sensitive here
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: is Greg Skanky.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Greg Skanky. Greg Wanky.
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: I don't think it could be sensitive considering we were like,
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: we don't agree that NFL guys should be on the roster.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: We were actually.
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: The only show that had that opinion.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: We all said multiple times in this room, is this
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: worth it for LSU?
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: They should have backed off sooner.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: They realized that.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: But also, Greg Skanky is the one that went yesterday
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: and kicked an anthill that It was done.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: It was already over. Like lane literally didn't put the
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: players on the roster. That's what you wanted to happen, right?
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: Like, that's why you went to court, because you didn't
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: want these players.
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: On the roster. Guess what? They are not on the roster.
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: So let's just all move on, and let's play football,
• 29:49
  Speaker 9: and let's just, I don't know. But I also, Greg
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: Sankey's actually in our chat right now, and he said.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Are you serious?
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he said, it's just a prank, guys. Calm down.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Sensitive Sankey, he's in.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: You did say thanks for reading my text. Alondra got
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: a shout-out from Greg.
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: I think it would be a sensitivity find for us
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: if we were like, well, they should be able to play.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: He played there. Texas has one on their right.
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: I'm not like that. Remember that basketball player? That basketball
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: player is the dumbest argument ever.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: It's basketball. No one cares. Don't mess with football.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: I think he was saying, if you play these guys,
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: you will be punished. Okay, we won't play them.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Well, damn it. I don't like lanes.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: I'm going to punish you anyways.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: I declare. bankruptcy you gotta be able to just like
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: oh let's just have a vote you don't have a
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: vote i don't like them you.
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: Just want to vote them out i'm gonna vote them
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: out for cause.
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: I'm getting my buddies because i don't like them because
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: i don't like them good one i mean it's a
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: big enough deal that the commander in chief.
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: I can't wait to hear what he has to say
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: about it.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: It's unbelievable anyway Because I don't. That's a good one.
• 31:04

• 34:20
  Speaker 8: do have that one.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: Um.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I know we're going to continue a little bit here,
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit there. I don't want to. I know.
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: And for me, I'll just, you know, other shows are
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: probably going to do like two hours on this. We
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: have actually football games to talk about, to break down,
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: to continue to preview.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: So.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Go get it. Like, you know, and I know the
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: president's going to speak on it later, but.
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: I think he's.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: He's about to. He's almost ready. He's at the podium.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: I think he's almost.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: He's getting warmed up, yeah.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Drinking water.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: I think in closing, LSU can own the mistakes it
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: made here.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: We all agree there, right?
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: You own the mistakes it made. Pat the chest.
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: But the SEC needs to own the fact that it
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: has turned an eligibility dispute into a full-blown power play.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: I think we all agree there.
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: If those players aren't going to be on LSU's roster,
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: and we're still talking about throwing a founding member out
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: of the conference, then this was never about two players.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: This is about sending a message to.
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: flexing authority, as we talked about last segment, making sure
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: nobody challenges the league. And at this point, the SEC
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: isn't protecting the conference. It's making itself look ridiculous. And
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: I love the SEC. Me and Commissioner Sankey have a
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: great relationship. Interviewed him many times. Love every conversation I've
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: ever had with him. And again, I want to make
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: sure I say LSU owns its own part of this,
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: no doubt about it. But I am surprised with how
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: this has gone, considering Commissioner Sankey thinks out every single
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: thing that he does to the smallest detail. And I'm
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: shocked by this reaction from somebody that I've got the
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: utmost respect for.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, from a very calculated man. Very calculated.
• 36:12
  Speaker 8: And I don't think we've ever had anything to really
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: say negative about him. And that's hard to do with
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: somebody in charge. I mean, think about, like, Goodell in
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: the NFL. Like, how many players? He gets booed every year.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: At the draft, everybody has bad things to say about
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: him all the time. I don't know if anybody's, I mean,
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: not that I'm aware of, and I don't, I certainly
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: am far from knowing almost a lot of things in sports,
• 36:36
  Speaker 8: especially college sports and within the SEC, but like, I
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: don't really feel like anybody's ever had a reason to
• 36:43
  Speaker 8: like question him or be like, why did he do that?
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: That was dumb, blah, blah, blah. But this seems out
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: of character for him. It doesn't seem like a, a knee-jerk, sensitive,
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: you ticked me off, so I'm going to get a
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: little bit of revenge on you type situation.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, calling for a vote. I mean, this is after.
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: LSU did the thing that you wanted them to do
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: in the first place, which was not roster those guys.
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: Because you made a comment coming off of halftime that
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: wasn't even in the microphone that you clearly were joking about.
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: You made a comment after the game. Like, give me
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: a break.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Like, a comment... Is reason for expulsion?
• 37:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Lack of control is what they cited. Lack of control.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Because a.
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: Uber competitive man, who all head coaches are uber competitive,
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: a lot of egos everywhere.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Egos are a good thing to have most of the time. Right.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Especially at that level. You have to have one to
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: be a great player or coach.
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: Your team just... All this stuff about they're getting pro players, blah, blah, blah.
• 37:54
  Speaker 8: Your team just went out and kicked Clemson's butt. Thoroughly,
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: no questions asked. Almost every single play was a win
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: for your Tigers. And you joke about, what if we
• 38:09
  Speaker 8: had blue players?
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 38:11
  Speaker 8: And then that's what you... Invent something. Invent another reason.
• 38:17
  Speaker 8: Because that reasoning that you gave it removes all credibility
• 38:23
  Speaker 8: you have from this whole vote. I mean, it removes
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: all credibility you have from saying, well, he's buttoned up,
• 38:30
  Speaker 8: he knows this and that.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: No, it's a witch hunt. Alondra, Tay-Tay, anything to add?
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: I've said my piece on this.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm good.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: I think the whole thing's ridiculous.
• 38:45
  Speaker 9: I guess my only other thing is that how much,
• 38:49
  Speaker 9: How many eyes do you think that Lane Kiffin at
• 38:52
  Speaker 9: LSU is bringing to TV, which the rights and everything?
• 38:59
  Speaker 9: I think the Longhorns bring in the most revenue in
• 39:03
  Speaker 9: the SEC or whatever, but how much do you think
• 39:05
  Speaker 9: LSU is bringing in?
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: Either one of.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: The top brands, no doubt. It's just stupid. Did we
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: get any numbers on that broadcast yet?
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: But to that point, though, how does ESPN react to
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: all this? Because they have a deal with all the
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: SEC teams. LSU is included in that if they're.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Not in it.
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: It's the sec obspn money.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah i mean it's it's i don't think it is
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: a path that.
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: And like this is this is coming from us like
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: we don't know what is his people are telling him
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: what he's this conversation like but i don't think it's
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: a path that sankey really wants to go down you
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: kick him out you are You're making a mockery of
• 39:46
  Speaker 8: the system, and you're just pushing towards there just being
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: one giant conference.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: It's a knee-jerk reaction.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: It's a knee-jerk reaction. This is a means to an end.
• 39:54
  Speaker 8: If you want to create more chaos and push for
• 39:57
  Speaker 8: something that is not the SEC anymore or not the
• 40:00
  Speaker 8: Big Ten or whatever.
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: Lane's just speeding it up. Lane's just speeding the process up.
• 40:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and then Sankey's trying to throw gasoline on the process.
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: All right, I know we've got to take a break,
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: but the last thing I'll say— There's only two ways
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: for teams to go when things like this are going
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: on around them.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: You either allow it to become too much of.
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: A distraction and it takes your focus away from the
• 40:24
  Speaker 7: main thing and you don't play well and the building
• 40:28
  Speaker 7: kind of falls apart. Or you say, screw everybody but
• 40:32
  Speaker 7: anybody in this building and you come together and you
• 40:35
  Speaker 7: get closer and you do everything out of spite. I've
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: been a part of both those situations. This one could
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: be wrong.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: It's one game.
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: This feels like they're coming together, and they are going
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: to go tell everybody what they can go do, which
• 40:47
  Speaker 7: Lane said at halftime.
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: See halftime speech.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, reference the halftime speech.
• 40:51
  Speaker 7: It truly feels like that. They played like that. They
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: played with an aggressive nature. I don't expect that to
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: go away. If I'm Louisiana Tech, I'm pretty angry that
• 41:00
  Speaker 7: this is going on because I'm about to catch the
• 41:02
  Speaker 7: wrath of this.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: And then we all know what's the week after that.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: Let's take more OTB when we come back here live from...
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: The Raising Cane Studio.
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: Off the bench.
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: All right, go to centralplumbing.org. Centralplumbing.org is the website. It
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: is in Baton Rouge, the greater Baton Rouge area. It's
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: also in Lafayette as well now.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: That's right. They are growing. They are expanding. And you
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: all know they've been in the game for over 50 years.
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: And so you're not going to have a problem that
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: they haven't seen, that they haven't fixed, that they haven't.
• 41:34
  Speaker 7: made sure that you're back up and running at your home,
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: at your business. It's emergency service 24-7, 365, but not
• 41:42
