  Speaker 2: All right, it is Wednesday. It is 8 a.m., so
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: you know what that means.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Our guy, Dr.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Stephen Attridge, is going to join us. He hit the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: road with us.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he did.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Today, Doc, always a pleasure. We appreciate you being flexible,
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: hanging out with us here in the garage.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this place is great. This is the first time
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I've been here.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: And I told you, right before you sat down, I said,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Comfortable setup. Comfortable couch. But when you're on camera, kind
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: of hard to look comfortable while being comfortable.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Because you want to lean forward?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: You kind of want to lean forward. It's like, what's
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: going to get rid of the double chin? How are
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: we going to look good?
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I stopped worrying about stuff like that.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: At least I don't have the short shorts to worry
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: about this time.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Last time, Doc, he wore shorts that were so short
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: that he had to go get a blanket out of
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: the basket and cover himself.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I wore the five-inch inseams last time.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Five is doing some heavy lifting. More like three and
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a half.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: At least a seven.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Those are three and a half. Those were boxers. Oh, yeah.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Junk was out.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I can see how that would be problematic.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. Before we get to anything, Doc, I think.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: We have some news that we're able to share, correct?
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir. Let's give a round of applause to the
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: new dad.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: All right. Here we go.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: That's right. He was here last time, but it was
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: kind of early. I wish I had the green light. Oh, look, look.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: We are not giving the okay until Mama says we
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: got the okay.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: We got that. So congratulations.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Awesome.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: What a blessing. Everything's good. Everybody's healthy. All things moving
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: in the right direction.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Everything's good. It came a little early, so they spent
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: a little extra time.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: But we've been home over a week now, and he
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: was kind enough to come early to get.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Me ready for the season. I actually think– I thought
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: that was big. You owe him a lot already.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I do. I do.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: First birthday present is going to have to be pretty
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: baller because he came before football season.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: It was because actually we were originally scheduled for a
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: C-section yesterday. It would have been a little bit of
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: a chaotic week.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Hey, babe.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: I know he's like three days old, but I got
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: to go to Tiger Stadium all day.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: See you when I get back at 2 a.m. I
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: will say my wife, she– Actually, probably later for you.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: She was very clear with our OB that, hey, this
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: had to happen by a certain day, that I had
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: to be at the game.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: So the blessing was already there in advance.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Now, granted, that was, you know, well before, and I'm
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: sure it might have looked a little different this week,
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: you know, with a newborn that's only a couple days old.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Rhett just said, you know what, Dad? I got you.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: He did.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: You got to have the baby by this point because
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I might have some new player physicals to be given
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: out the week of the first game.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: You said it, man. They're coming, apparently.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: You said it, man.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I guess we'll find that out today.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: What is game week like for you, for your staff,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: your team? You know, the team just went through like
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: a mock game on Saturday. And I actually, I thought
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: it was something that was a smart idea just because
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: there's so many guys, coaches and players that haven't been here.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: And Tiger Stadium's a lot. There's a lot that goes
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: into it. There's a lot of traditions that you're supposed
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: to know. And, well, if you had never done it,
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: like walking down Victory Hill. And there was people that
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: were there, which is so LSU. The fans were like,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: we want to be there. I told everybody, though, that
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: hadn't been here.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And they were like, that is so cool. I go,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: just wait.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: It's going to be like 38 deep when you walk
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: down that hill for game day.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: But they did all of that. I mean, everything. They
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: had the announcer in the stadium.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, every part of the game they wanted to
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: walk through so they weren't shocked on Saturday.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: What about for you and your team? How do you
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: get ready for game day? Well, you know, one, I
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: think the event was great.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: You know, at first when they told me they were
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: going to do this and we were going to go
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: down the Victory Hill and all this stuff, I'm kind
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: of like, really, we're going to do all that?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: It actually, I think, went well.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: I mean, they even had– in one of the TV timeouts,
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: they had the TV timeout. They had the guy in
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: the red hat out there. He's a very wonderful human being,
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: but I hate seeing him because I hate the delays.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I tell him every time I see him. I love him.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: He's a great guy.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Great guy.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I hate seeing him. I hate seeing him on the field.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Nothing personal.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: But they had the TV timeout.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: They brought the footballs out and had the people doing
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: the competition to throw it in the little bucket, whatever.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: They were literally game day. So it was a good event,
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: and I do think, A, it's having some new guys.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: But even for the players– Just to kind of get
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: back in the swing of it, it was a great idea. But, yeah,
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: for us, the week, you know, obviously we're addressing any injuries.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: We're trying to figure out is this something where they
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: can go. And then as we get closer and closer
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: to game day, it's what can we do for game
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: day prep. You know, some of the guys, early in
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: the year, it's so hot, you know, we're going to
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: consider doing some pregame, you know, hydration with the IVs.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Not that they're not well hydrated to begin with.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: But definitely, I think they might be the most hydrated
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: team in the country.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: I think they probably are. But, you know, sometimes, you know,
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: when it's that hot, everybody needs a little help.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: So looking at that, looking at guys like, hey, is
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: there something we need to do for this guy before
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: the game, some kind of treatments or things like that.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: And then also just kind of where are we going
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: to set up with each new staff. We have to
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: learn a little bit different. Coach Kiffin wants a little
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: bit different setup in the locker room than previous coaches wanted,
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: and we have to kind of figure out who he
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: wants where and what they don't want. Sometimes I know
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: that this group is going to be a little bit
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: more of a locked-down locker room.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: They're going to have it a little bit more restricted.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: And so kind of figuring out is there going to
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: be any problems with us getting the things we need
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: and how do we go about all that. So I
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: think it was even good for us, even though I've
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: been here 15 years now, and it's different. This year
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: is different than any other year I've been here, and
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: every time we get a new regime.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: That's kind of what happens. Well, Lane said that, just different. Yeah,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: it's just different.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: There we go. There you go. Trademark, hashtag, whatever. Okay,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: new coaching staff, of course. Is there a, and you
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: kind of talked about differences between coaches, how coaches want
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: different things. What's the community game day communication like in
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: real time during the game? Do does, and I'm sure
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: every coach is a little bit different how he, maybe
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: some coaches want to talk directly to the doctors. Maybe
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: there's a middle person. Have y'all kind of walked through
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: or had a meeting about how that game day during
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: in game conversation goes?
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: And we have, and in my experience, whatever that conversation
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: is always changes at the game, especially the first few games,
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: you know, you know, it's, it's, But we do have
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: the conversation.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: We plan it out.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: We at least kind of know how he wants things done.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: With each coach, it is different. The way that it
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: was with Miles was a little bit different than it
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: was with O. It was a little different with Kelly.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: And it's going to be a little different with Kiffin.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: So we've had some meetings in the offseason. How do
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: you want it during the game? How do you want
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: us to handle– we do an injury report on Sundays
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: after the games where we're up there and we go
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: through it. Do you want us to come up to
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: your office? Do you want us just to give it
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: to the trainer? So each coach kind of has their
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: own way that they do it. So we have to
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: kind of go through that. And like I said, I
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: think– we always find it shifts a little bit after
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: these first two games, you know, once you kind of
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: get in the real setting.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: It might have shifted on who the player is as well.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and 100%.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: You know, 100%.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: You know, are we going to have a coach come
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: barging in the tent, or are they going to just
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: kind of hang out and wait?
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I think it does matter who the player is. There
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: is some difference for sure. Was that the Giants last year?
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's where I was referencing the.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was Dayball. That's what I said. It kind
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: of depends on the player. You're starting quarterback. You're front
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: kicking the door of that tent.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: I don't think he's barging in the tent with every player,
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: but– But, no, in all sincerity, yeah, we work on
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: that stuff. And there will be some wrinkles, even though
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: we do our best. Just like anything, you know, any
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: game plan, you know, all teams are a little sloppy
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: out of the gate. You know, the first weeks are
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: always a little bit.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Not LSU. Not us, yeah.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: Everybody else will be. But we'll find a few things
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: that we need to probably tinker with. But we have
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: a good idea of how they want it, and we'll
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: go from there.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Knock on wood.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Relatively healthy, too, like training camp.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: A lot of times training camp, no matter what level
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: you're on, you've got a lot of stuff, and there's
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: going to be stuff.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: But it feels like because everybody's goal is.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: To escape training camp without just a laundry list of injuries,
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: it feels like whatever process they had to go out
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: there in the offseason to get ready for training camp,
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: it seemed like it worked because you didn't have a
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: laundry list of injuries.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think a big part of it is preparation.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: I think Coach Savage and these guys have done a
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: great job getting these guys ready even before camp. Because
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: I will say, I think we talked about it last week,
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: but camp was intense. This was not a soft camp.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: They were going at it. And when you see that,
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: you do worry a little bit more about injury.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: That's just part of it.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: There's that balance we talked about last week between going
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: hard enough to get prepared, but also you don't want
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: guys hurt.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: And we did come through this one pretty good. We
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: have a few things. You're going to get that.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: You're not going to come through camp completely clean. But
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: I think all said and done, I've got to give
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: a lot of credit to the staff. And I guess
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: some of it is always going to be luck, too.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: You get a little lucky sometimes. You can do everything
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: right and still have a bad injury. But they did
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: a good job with the prep. The guys, a lot
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: of testament to the players though, too. They took the
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: offseason serious. I was up there in the summer. They
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: were getting after it even before camp started.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about your interaction with players during a game.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: And let's talk specifically with concussions because that's probably a
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: lot of interaction you're going to have.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: A lot of people watching.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: The team... for LSU, the spotters, the whoever, like of
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: trying to determine what somebody that might have a concussion
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: or might've had a heart hit, um, watching different body
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: language on the, on the sideline, how big is that team?
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: And then my second, second question on that is how
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: is that determined when it's testing? Is there baseline testing
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: that goes in from the cognitive function from how you
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: track a finger? Like all the, is there a baseline
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: that you have on all these players? um, that you
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: can kind of refer to like in game in real time.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: There, there is. And so, so you're right.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: Concussion is probably the one that's the hardest for us
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: to manage because on the one hand, you know, some
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: of these guys don't have a concussion and they want
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: to play and they don't want, they don't want to
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: waste their time talking to me as the way they see.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: And I get that. And they're angry and they're, they're
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: agitated because, because you know, you know, the sideline, the
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: adrenaline is high.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: And so I've had players get mad at me. And I,
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: and so one, we try to prep them in the
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: off season. You know, we have a, Meeting a couple
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: times a year, times where I get in front of
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: the team and we present some information and other things
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: to them. And that's one thing that's always something like, listen, guys,
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: I don't want to keep you out any more than
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: you want to be out. But you've got to let
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: me do my job so that you can do yours.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: And I will say most of the guys understand that,
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: especially today's day and age. They've been educated. They understand, look,
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: this is just the way the game is. We do
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: have baseline testing that we do. We use a program
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: called C3 Logics. It's been used pretty widely across a
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: lot of college football and in the NFL. it's, it's,
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: it's a iPad based program where it measures, you know,
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: your balance, your reaction time, all these things. And we
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: do get a baseline now at the same time, it
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: takes about 20 or 30 minutes. So you have to decide,
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: are we at that level? Because a lot of times
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: you still have to make that sideline assessment.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: And look, you're right.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: All eyes are on us.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: You know, I had one where we had an athlete
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: a couple of years ago that had what was not
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: a concussion. We knew it wasn't a concussion, but he
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: came off the sideline and they're like.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Look, we got to make it look good.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: So we were trying to do a quick little concussion
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: screen and it was injury. We knew when a concussion
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: talking with them, it wasn't even a head impact. And
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: then got torched for it on social media because, like,
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: did you see how quick they did that?
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: That was a blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, listen, y'all,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: you know, sometimes you don't know what's going on. But,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: of course, we're subject to it just like the players are.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: And for me, that was kind of like, okay, well,
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: I guess from now on, that's when we're going to
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: have to bring in the tent. So we learned that
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: just because, you know, the scrutiny that came from it.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: But also there should be some because, you know, I
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: need to do my job right. If I am doing
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: a bad job, then I don't need to be out there.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: So it was kind of a catch-22 where I'm like, okay,
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: I understand where these people are coming from, but you
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: also– don't know what was going on.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I was trying to make it look good, and so
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: it made it worse.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, you're right. We have to kind of follow
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: these protocols.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: We have these things, and sometimes you've got to bring
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: them in the locker room because that sideline is so
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: loud and crazy and chaotic. So if I'm really worried
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: about a guy, I can't do a great assessment. So
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: you've got to kind of figure it all out, and
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: it's not easy. Doc, this is very important. What number
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: did you wear at Florida State? So at Florida State,
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: I was 37.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, good. I thought you were about to say 39.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I was going through really bad about our conversation.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: That we had right before you got here.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was 32 in high school, 37 there. So
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I always liked the 30s if I could get in
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: for some reason. That was, you know, good. Well, as
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: long as it wasn't something that ended in a nine. Yeah, yeah,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: nine's not the number typically. Single nine works. Single nine, yeah.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Single nine plays, but I'm with you.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: 99 plays. I think you said it. 99 plays.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: 99, yeah. You got to dial, like, you were in 99, though.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: You got to be a dog.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if you heard, but I'm not
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: sure I got some bad news today.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I came in on that. You know, 19, that's rough.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: I mean, it was a great year, but probably not
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: a great football night.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: It was a great year. It certainly was. Very good year.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Outside of that.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Outside of that, I'm with you. Not a whole lot. Doc,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: you just talked about the tents, the sideline tents. Do
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: people pee in the tents? Yes. Yes. That's what I thought.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Did y'all pee in the tent when you were in? So, no.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: In San Diego, you would get the trainers to put
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the towels around you.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: That was it?
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they caught our kicker one time, and the broadcast
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: didn't get off of him.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: We're like, what are they doing? What are y'all doing, y'all?
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I never did because I was like, I'm not doing that.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I go to the locker room. But, I mean, when
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: we're well hydrated sometimes, you've got to go.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Occupational hazard.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Well, the tent makes all the sense in the world.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Tent makes sense.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: We actually have a separate tent that is just for
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: that purpose as well, a smaller one.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Is it a bag that they pee in? Yeah, usually
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: they have something to go in.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Because in Green Bay we would have, you'd go into
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the tent, and at that time it wasn't as big
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: as it was now. It was shorter. So you'd have to, like,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: take a knee. Yeah. And but they had like these
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: pee bags. But I saw somebody do it in preseason.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Put a like a Home Depot bucket with kitty litter.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Are you serious?
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, it works.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: That's fair, I guess. Yeah, that's what it's made for.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I did see a video out of preseason, like some
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: guy getting dragged because he came out of the tent like.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: pulling up his pants, like, kind of, and he had
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: this bag, and they're like, this guy's peeing in a bag, blah, blah, blah,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and I was.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Like, I mean, there's no bathroom close to the sideline, though,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: so it's understandable. If I got to go and use
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the restroom, it's going to be a series I'm going
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: to miss.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: The only stadium that I've ever been in, so when
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: I was in Denver, we actually, right behind our bench,
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: it was like this little carve-out, and it wasn't very tall, so, like,
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: even I had to kind.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Of, like, get in there. Even you?
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Even me, that's why I said it like that, and
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: you were kind of hunched over, but it was a
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: single toilet, and it was, like, literally, like, the smallest
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: space possible, but it was just cut out just for
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: that reason.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: It's a good idea, you know, in hindsight. But, I mean,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I guess, you know, it's. But the stadium is, you know,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: it's elevated. Like, Retire Stadium, like, it's.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Like, right on the player's surface.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Yep. Like, there's no elevation to it. So, just know, guys.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: The tent's not just for injuries. So if your favorite
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: player goes into the tent, it's not.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Cross your fingers that he's got to empty his bladder.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not... You know, he's not automatically injured or
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: automatically have a concussion. He might just have to pee-pee. Yeah, dreambyhigh.com
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: will do that to you. It will.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, hey, we got to stay hydrated.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Shots, too.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: It is a hazard of that, though.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Doc, we appreciate you.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Certainly.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: joining us here on the road at the garage. Congratulations again.
• 16:17

  Speaker 3: Wednesday's show is brought to you by Poncho.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Getting into it.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I put my headset on like that's on me. Frankie J.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He's a driver's friend.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: Go, Bill.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy. My bad. Fumble.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Alondra just sent us something in the group text. One
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: Couchy user has $ 1, 870 on Tyler Shuck to win NFL
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: MVP this season with a potential payout of $ 185, 636.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: That's a very specific number.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: $ 1, 870. You know, maybe he wore 18 and his dad
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: wore 70.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe so. Usually if it's a random number you bet,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: it's because the payout's going to be an even number.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: It's going to pay out $ 180.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like you'll put in how much you want to win.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then it's random. But both the numbers on
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: both ends of this are pretty random. Maybe that's all
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the money he had left in his account.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: That's very specific to have in your account.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Alondra makes a great point. Maybe that's what he had
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: in his savings.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: That's true. He's been saving up.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: He thinks Tyler Shutt can maybe go win the NBA.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe he originally deposited $ 50, 000. It was just down to that.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: That was what's left sure go for the home run i.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Don't i don't know that old tyler shuck's gonna win
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: the mvp i think tyler's gonna have a hell of
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: a football season and i say that because a lot
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: of times like something like mvp it's one of those
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: deals where you got to have the season before the
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: season They win MVP.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: So it's not even like that.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: Tyler Shook can't go out there and play incredibly well.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: But a lot of times like Drew Brees didn't win
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: that ever.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: He didn't.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: So it's very difficult to get that done.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: Like Jared Goff hasn't even been in the conversation in
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: the last three years. Jared Goff leads in yards, touchdowns
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: and his second impasse rating in the NFL.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Because, I mean, it's a player and a team. Yeah.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: And Detroit's been good.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: And Detroit has been good. No, not last year.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: They still had a winning record.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: They were good.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: They still had a winning record, though.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Were they 9-7? No, I mean, I'm sorry. 9-8. Were
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: they 9-8? Yeah. Yeah, MVP is, like, really hard to do. It's, like, really,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: really hard to do because you have to, I mean,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: do you think you get an advantage on the MVP
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: race by playing more primetime games, too? Yes. I mean,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: certainly you get more noise talked about you, but it's
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: not like a fan award, though.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: It's not a fan award, but the buzz. And so
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: people that vote.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: The hype train.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: People that vote for MVP.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: I want to say that my show on NFL Radio
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: has an MVP vote.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Kyle Juszczyk.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Boom. Oh, yeah. You're in. MVP of the league.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: They're going to be like, we got this SiriusXM NFL Radio.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: They voted for Kyle Juszczyk as league MVP.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Average six yards rushing and 11 yards receiving a game.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Damn right we did. Just saying. Call it 17 all-purpose
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: yards per game.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Per game. It's not that big of a deal.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: In the NFL. I'm going to do it. Why not? Yeah,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I'm looking for Tyler Shuck to have a big year.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Just because I've talked about so many times that year
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: one to two jump for quarterbacks in the NFL is
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: your opportunity that year that jump from one to two.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: is the biggest opportunity in a quarterback's career to make
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: huge improvements. And he already really showed us a lot
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: last year. I mean, how they finished the season off,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: throwing to people we had never heard of before and
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: did so in remarkable fashion. What was it? What's the
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: stat that he led the NFL in third down conversions?
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Is that right? Third down conversions with, again, throwing to nobody.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: So that shows you how good he was and was
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: able to play with anybody. It also shows you how
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: good Kellen Moore's offensive scheme was, being able to get
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: guys open like that that aren't just these showstopper receivers
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: that were going to beat everybody one-on-one. So the ability
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: to game plan and get people open and operate an
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: offense and have a quarterback that was able to make
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: clutch throws and make friendly throws. We saw passes that
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: he would make. that were being caught that early in
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the season when Rattler was a quarterback that he would
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: make that, that wouldn't be. And that's, that's no shade
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: to anybody on that. It's just saying that the ball
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: that he throws is very friendly. The guys had confidence
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: in it.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Guys elevated their player.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Guys. They sure did.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: That's a skill set that some quarterbacks have.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So now that you have, you know, you have
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: a brand new year or say, everybody's excited. There's been
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of great moves. Of course, there's been some
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: injuries and we know what's going on with Jordan Tyson,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: but it seems like Chris Olave is coming out of camp,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: maybe have his best camp of his career. So, um,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what they can put on the field.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Now we're not like, we're not in this crazy bubble
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and have these expectations that they're going to, you know,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: go 13 and four or anything like that. But, um,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: there are high hopes and there are at least some
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: expectations that they have at least, you know, a 40%
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: chance of making the playoffs and winning this, winning this
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: bad division. And we think it's going to be Tampa
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: and new Orleans and a, and a, and a two
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: team race. But just one year ago, Carolina was the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: one that came out with the win and their team
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: is not that much different than it was. So we'll see.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to at least get to, Is it next Wednesday?
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: September the 9th. It is Patriots-Seahawks.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: It's a classic Wednesday NFL game. It's just going to
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: get sooner and sooner, and I'm here for that, by
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the way. Yeah, no, I'm good. I am so ready
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: for the NFL. I am so ready for college to
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: start this weekend, but I am equally or more so
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: ready for the NFL season to start.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: So you get on Wednesday, you get a rematch of
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. On Thursday, you get Rams 49ers from Australia.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. I don't care where they're playing that game.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: They could play that game here in the garage. What
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: time do they play?
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: I'd be fired up.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: It's a nighttime because it'll probably be like an 11
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: or noon game there.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: I know it's primetime because I had Luke Keighley on
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: the show yesterday. He's going to be in the booth
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: for the game.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Okay. We had Nick Foles last week. He's going to
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: be like on the post game. I don't know. I
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Oof, Tony.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: As you were talking, I was looking. I wasn't being rude.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: I was looking up.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: You weren't texting?
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: No, I was looking up Tyler Shuck and what the
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: sportsbooks had on his passing yards and just some other
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: quarterbacks around him. So I'll give you kind of an idea, okay?
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers, he's at 3,049. That's where the bar is set.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, 3,149. Jackson Dart, 3,149. Drake May, 3,799.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Let's get some quarterbacks that might be in the same
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: kind of conversation.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I mean. Jackson Dart would be Justin Herbert.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Thirty five. Ninety nine.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: C.J. Stroud.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Thirty five.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Forty nine. Under. Under.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: So I was trying to figure out where Tyler Shuck
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: would be. He's at thirty four. Forty nine.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: So he is three hundred yards more than Jackson Dart.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: But no. Jackson Dart's cards are worth three times more. No.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: So, I mean, he's got he's got a good number.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: That's that's that's a big number that they think. He's
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: going to have a pretty solid year. His touchdowns right now,
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: that would be 20.5.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take the over on that.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, 20.5?
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: 20.5 for Tyler Sheck.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: So they gave him basically 3,500 yards and only 20.5 touchdowns.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's less than 1.2 touchdowns per game. Not
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: a big deal. Math, dude.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: Nobody was even talking about it. Brock Purdy's is 27.5. So, again,
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: kind of give.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: You an idea. And you know, like, all of his
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: receivers are going to get hurt for sure.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Jared Goss is 29 and a half. Joe Burrow has
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: the highest, 32.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: And a half. Jeez.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, give me the over on Chuck's touchdowns for sure.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: 21 and a half? It's 20 and a half, so
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: I just need 21. I got to tell you, it's
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: tough to bet. It's tough to bet futures, though, you know? Why?
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Because it takes so long? Because the money comes out
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: of the account. Back in the good old days, you know.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Back in the good old days, you didn't have to
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: pay until you lost it. Travis H.N. Jr.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: his rushing total is 824 and a half. He's had 1,000 yards, like, what,
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: three or less, four years?
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I'll take that over. I don't know. Hadn't been on
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: our team, so. Didn't care? Didn't care. Actually, I say
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: our team. I've never been a Saints fan in my life.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: You play for the Saints. I play for the Saints.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: It's the last NFL jersey you wore, bud.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I was a fan those last half a season. How
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: many games? But now I'm more of a fan because
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I've been forced to follow it a little bit more. Forced? Yeah. Man. Nudged.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: I like that better. Is that better? Yes. Who dat?
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: These chairs are different heights.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I've never felt taller.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: In my life. You look like a little boy. A
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: small boy? A little small boy. would you rather be
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: in the couch than the chair?
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: No, I'm feeling really good.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Because, like, both of us, we're trying to figure out
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: our sweet spot.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: We're trying to figure it out.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: And I really do think that it kind of has
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: to do with both of us having a hurt back
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: I cannot confirm or deny that.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why'd you hurt your back? Just life. It wasn't
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: from the furniture movement. Don't make me feel bad.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: No. It was from something else. I'll tell you what,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: the shoulder from the tire.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, the shoulder. That's right. Shh. That's a weird one.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: You should have just kicked it. Stomped down on it.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: It wasn't like the old, like, you know, you used
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: to have like, it was like a cross. You know,
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: it had different sizes. Well, now they try to get fancy.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: And it was like this, it was only like this long.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: And it had like this random handle that you had
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: to like pull up and snap in. And then you
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: had to like, it was a mess. And then, but
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: my truck, my Black Widows, it was too big. It
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: didn't fit on Jackson's Explorer. So I couldn't use that
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: because that one was nicer and bigger and better.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: It was ready to go, but my tires have bigger
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: lug nuts than Jackson had.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: We will step away. Our guy Will Helmers is going

  Speaker 2: assistant coach as well.

• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: Look at you. Please don't listen in. It would be
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: a tragedy. Tragedy on air.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: I do have a question.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I got faith in you.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: We'll make it work. Since Lane has been here, has
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: anybody ever called him Coach Kiffin?
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Good question.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Has anyone referred to that? You're going
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: to have an interview tomorrow. You're going to do the
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: coach's show tomorrow. Is it? you want me to test
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: what's up or is it coach or do you or
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: like because i thought like even if i was never
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: coached by somebody i go to a high school even
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: if it's the high school middle school coach i call them.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Coach yeah i call my son's coach whatever i.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Feel like lane is lane lane right or do you
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: like revert back to your old school everybody's coach ultimate
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: respect when you see him in person Are you like, hey,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Coach Kiffin? I'm trying to think. I've played pickleball a
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: few times with him. Okay. All right.
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: And it comes out coach more often than Lane. For me,
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: I guess maybe it's a personal thing. I just like
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: somebody who's a coach, and I respect in some kind
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: of way, even if they weren't my coach, I'm going
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: to call coach.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to think if there's another coach that in
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: my life I did that with.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: A lot of people here. Imagine calling Coach Saban Nick.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: God, no. Oh, my God.
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: It scares me. That's like if we would have called J. J.
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: When I was a player, it was like you're not playing. J.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Bones. Yeah. What's up, J. J.
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: Not going to fly. Not going to fly. Is he
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: Coach Johnson?
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay. Or Coach J.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Coach J. He's a first-name, but it's still Coach J.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, well, it worked because it was Jay Johnson.
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: Jay, Jay, a lot of Jays going on.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Y'all do that. If you live in South Louisiana, you
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: do know that sometimes guys, especially dads, they refer to
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: each other as coach a lot as well.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Spadner is a big coach.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: It's a big coach. Not, hey, bud, it's what's up, coach?
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: They're not even a coach. Shout out to my guy,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Jordy Collada.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, you're not even a coach.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Shout out to my guy, Jordy.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Big coach guy. Term of endearment, I think.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: He's the guy that I learned it from because I'm
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: not from here.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I haven't adopted that. I'll fall into it sometimes if
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: I'm around certain people that call.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Like to say it.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: They already say it. I'll fall into it for like
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: a couple of days. I'm like, wait a minute.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Will's not coaching anything.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: He's not a coach at all.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: He's also younger than me. It's like a weird dynamic. Yeah,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Will just called me old.

• 37:06
  Speaker 6: and LSU, so we want to pump it up and
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: Have some fun with it.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: I kind of want to ask you, like for you
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: trying to prepare for this, is it going to be,
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: all right, let me get at least my first question
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: ready to go. Is it, hey, I kind of want
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: a guideline. I might not follow it, but I want it.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: Or is it like, dude, I've done this before. I'm
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: going to go off the cuff.
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: Man, I'd like for it to be a little structured
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: for me because I don't want to, you know, I
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: don't want to have any dead air, you know, going on.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: And I know Chris is up there too. Yeah.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: Chris will help me out, but I'll have it structured out,
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: I think, you know, at least somewhat.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: But I can flow pretty easy.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: I got faith in you. And, Will, if you get stuck,
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: just don't point at Chris Blair and say, yeah.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: That's been done before.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: I did that. We were interviewing a kid from North
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Dakota State. How am I supposed to interview this guy?
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: I'm already two, three questions in. I'm out of bullets.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: He wasn't giving us a.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Lot to play off.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: That's the hard part. He wouldn't give us a lot.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: That's what I get interested in.
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: What's Lane going to be like? Some of these players,
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: are these going to be like, yes.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: When they hit you with that.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: That's a tough one. That's tough. That's a scramble mode.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: In your mind, you're going to have your next question
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: based off their answer.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Correct. And if they give you a one-word answer, it's
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: hard to do that. Very much so.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: You know, I've interviewed Lane a bunch of times at
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: different places, and he's always been good.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: Like, I do feel like it's on the person to
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: find that spot that he wants to go to.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: It's just like you were interviewing, I think, anybody.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You got to connect with the person. And some
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: people are easier than others, certainly. Yeah. high school and
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: college players not the easiest sometimes right yeah um let
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: me ask you this uh are we even going to
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: touch anything outside of actual football oh absolutely okay yeah
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: i like that that kind of stuff.
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: And i'll tie it into louisiana loaded like look sam

  Speaker 6: levitt's from oregon utah michigan state arizona he's been all
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: over the place but this is first time in louisiana
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: You know, what's it look like?
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: What's he want to do? What's he want to get
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: into before he, you know, rolls out? Right.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: I'll give you this one on Lane because I know
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: how much you enjoy the outdoors and you enjoy going
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: to the saltwater.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: He also enjoys that.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: He's a fan. He's a big fan. We'll get into that. Yeah.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: I know now. Look, I know you're versatile. You got
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: the freshwater and the saltwater.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Water. I can do it all. I know you can
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: do it all. I can do it all. We might
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: have to splash that in here. Yeah. That can be done. But, yeah,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: it'll be a good time. And it lasts. You know,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: that's football. We have football, baseball, and both basketballs.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: I was going to ask you.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I didn't know if that was on. Okay. All season
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: is going to be a court to table. Yeah. Very cool.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: And that's going to be very convenient with, obviously, LSU
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: like right there.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's going to be exciting. Can Jay Johnson beat
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: you in pickleball? No. It's Coach Jay. Well, he was
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: an infielder. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He's an infielder.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: He's probably pretty mobile.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: He's typically good at sports like that.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Ping pong, tennis. Has Jay ever played a game
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: for fun, though? I don't think so.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: I've never seen him shoot hoops, golf.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: I know he has fun. That's his fun. Yeah. That's
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: his hobby as well as his job. Yes. Does he
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: do anything outside of that that other people would think fun?
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: To my knowledge, absolutely not.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: No fun, sir.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Zero fun, sir. But it is fun for him. No
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: fun zone. Fun guy.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: No fun zone. That's what I was just about to say,
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: which is so funny.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: He's so lighthearted.
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: Like, when you get into it, like, with him, he's
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: super lighthearted and fun.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: So we had our baseball team, one of our coaches,
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: shout out Coach Laborde, set it up where we went
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: over to the box and, you know, the kids did
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: the whole.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Deal, whatever. And Jay saw me. I'm sitting there talking
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: with him.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: And then he went and talked with the kids for, like.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: 15, 20 minutes. And I'm.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: It was in season. It was baseball season. We know
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: how much that man grinds.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: He was cruting, bud.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: He was cruting. That's probably right. He was so good.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: He was so good with the kids.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Great.
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: You know, but he can hone it in just like
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: any coach, but he's super, super lighthearted and fun. But, no,
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: I have never seen him play a game, golf. I
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: did hear he went on a duck hunt once while
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: he's been here. He said he would never go again.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Probably miserable. Speaking of hunting, did Gordon kill this golden?
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: It's golden? Yeah. He killed it? Yeah. This golden one?
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: That's rare.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: I don't think you can kill that one, bud.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: That was rare. Rare find.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: That's a little bitty fellow.
• 41:33

  Speaker 1: Court to table.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a lot of fun. Go check
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: it out. Not this week.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: As far as like sitting in there. Remember, it's going
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: to be a reserve situation. But next week, jump on that.
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: But you still can go to court with the table.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Hang out.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: It's going to be incredible vibe there. And looking forward
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: to hearing our guy, Will Helmers, on the broadcast. How's
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: your pickleball game?
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: I have no idea.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: Never played.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Katie would whip your ass probably.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: No doubt.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, Katie's really, really good at ping pong.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: She'd probably be really, really good at pickleball. My ping
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: pong game is still, you know, okay.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: I can hold my own. It's like big ping pong.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: I haven't played it that much. I haven't played it
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: like super competitively. It's funny. If you're good at ping pong,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: you can pick it up fast. And I'm not a
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: tennis player. I tried to take some lessons a couple
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: years ago. I think you could probably pick it up
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: faster as a ping pong player than a tennis player. Yeah.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong. If you're in the chat
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: and you're a big pickleball player, correct me if I'm wrong.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: But it's just like big ping pong. All right.
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: Well, we did get a text inside of our group
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: chat from Alondra that said, oh, I'd whip all three
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: of y'all in pickleball.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Bring it. Let's film it.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: I'm going to have faith in it.
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: I bet Flynn is like, I don't know. He's good
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: at random stuff. Baseball players and quarterbacks, anything with the
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: hand-eye coordination, they're typically pretty good at it.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: Although I did see my wife once. beat Matt Ryan
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: in ping pong 21-10.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: She's a good ping pong player. She is.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: She makes you mess up.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Not lose, though. She brings it back to you
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: every time. And so then, like, you've got to be
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: on your piece. It's backboard. You've got to be backboard sometimes.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: You do.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: And we'll be back here on OTB.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Off the bench.
