• 0:10
  Speaker 1: other on the air.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Flynn is back to throw for the end zone ball.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Live from the Raising Cane Studio. It's Off the Bench.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: I can't stand it. I don't.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in OTB. Wednesday morning, Raising Cane Studio.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Go to ponchooutdoors.com slash off the bench. $ 10 off your
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: next poncho order.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: It is now time. Cordell Stewart off the bench. Good
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: for you. Thank you.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: That you remember his nickname was Slash.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 90s. Where is Cordell Stewart from? New Orleans. Yep.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Big hands. Nice guess, bud. Big hand, high five. Yep.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Can you move the mic down?
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, I need to take it down.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: It's in my line of sight.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Go ahead, Tay-Tay. You got to see this.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: This is not very, you know, we're not exactly the
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: button-up show, you know. We wear butt-ins on the Pearl
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Snaps and Poncho Wednesday, but.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: They're snaps. We're too lazy. I mean, your hands and
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: fingers are too big to button. Yeah, that's true. Got
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: to snap. All right, it is the return.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Of Matt Flynn's top 10 NFL quarterback power rankings.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: It's a big deal. It's a huge deal for these guys.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Why set it up like that? Like, if you make
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: this top 10 list, these guys are probably making it
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: a plaque and putting it on their wall, at least,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: at their mansions. They probably print it out, maybe put
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: it on their refrigerator. Okay. Granted, if it's stainless steel, then,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: of course, Magnus won't work. It's true. But it's a
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: big deal, and it's week one. Okay, we didn't do
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: a preseason just because... We didn't know anything. We didn't
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: really know anything. In week one, this is probably the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: most exciting one because I'm judging this list off of
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: a number of things. But there's a lot of people
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: that had great performances. There's really good quarterbacks that will
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: probably be on this list that didn't make the top
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: ten list because this is after a post-week one top
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: ten list. Now, I'm not just... accounting for their performance
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: this week now that probably has the biggest variable to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: do with it but i'm also just using my eyeballs
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: i'm using my history um and a lot of it
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: has to do with if i was starting a franchise
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: today who would i put on there but it's gonna
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of variables and they're not all going
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: to be consistent you're going to be like well you
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: said this for this guy but this this other guy's
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: in front of him because for the same reason I
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: don't care. It's my list, so I'll make it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: It doesn't have to make sense.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: It doesn't have to make sense. It makes sense to me. Now,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: do I think a lot of people will drop off
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: and more people will be added in the next couple
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: of weeks? Absolutely.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: This is the official list, though. Last year, a couple
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: guys got cut because they wouldn't make the list.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Yep, absolutely. This is a big deal for them. I
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: think there's also incentive bonuses in their contract for Flynn's
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: top ten. All right, let's go to number ten. Jackson Dark. Ooh,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: fantastic performance. This is one of those guys that I
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be shocked if he's got the potential to potentially
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: stay in the top 10, but I'm not going to
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: be shocked if he falls out, but he had one
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: heck of a performance on prime time, 23 of 29,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: 230 yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions, and more importantly, zero concussions.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: That is one of my bold predictions that he will
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: not have a concussion all season long. So if that
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: is true, He's going to be pretty good. He also
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: had 11 rushing attempts for 54 yards. 134.2 QBR in
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the game. So, maybe a little bit of surprise, but
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Jackson Dart coming in at number 10. Let's go to
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: number 9. Did you like that announcer voice right there?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: It sounded really fake coming out, but I had this
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: music in the background. We're going to go Jared Goff,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: number 9. Okay. I got it. They didn't win by
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: a lot, but I am using a lot of Recency
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: bias in the last couple years. I am using the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: fact that he was a statistical leader in most of
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the passing categories last season. Stats weren't crazy this past
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: week against the Saints. 26 of 39, 206 yards, two touchdowns.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: He only had two yards rushing. 96.7, a modest QBR.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: But still, I'm going to give him benefit of the doubt.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: If I'm starting to franchise today, Jared Goff would be
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: up on that list. All right, let's go to number eight.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: This is going to be the one that people might like,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: might not like. I'm not kicking Matthew Stafford out of
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: the top 10 after one loss in Australia. Not halfway
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: around the world. Around, like, all the way. All the way.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: Is it his fault that his coaches got there the
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: day before the game?
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is not. And so you're the reigning MVP.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: You're going to stay on the top 10 list. You
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: will probably, probably, I say, finish a lot higher than
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: this at the end of the year and be a
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: lot higher on this list throughout the season. But I'm
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: going to put you at a modest number eight. Matthew
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Stafford does not live at eighth best quarterback in the NFL.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: He won't live there. He will probably move higher unless
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: age is actually going to catch up with him. He
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: goes 15 to 25 in Australia, 155 yards. No touchdowns,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: one interception, a 65.4 QBR. So that tells you right
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: there I'm not basing it just off of week one.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford is still the man. All right, number seven.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: The man that beat Matthew Stafford in Australia. Brock Purdy, 25-34,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: 205 yards. Three tutters, did have a pick. Five rush attempts,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: 29 yards. 105.6. Really good stats. Not like the sexiest
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: stats you've ever seen. But, man, was he efficient. He
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: runs that Kyle Shanahan offense to perfection. The guy's just good.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: He didn't have these terrible bad games. He doesn't have
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: these big gaffes. He's just consistent. Very consistent. He's accurate.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: And he is the perfect quarterback to work that offense. And, like, yeah,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: does he get a lot of benefit because Kyle Shanahan's great? Yeah.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Was he hurt last year? Mack Jones looked incredible. Yeah.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. You can't take the coach away from him.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: This year, at least. Brock Purdy is going to be
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: up there. And I was very impressed. Watch out for
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: the Niners this year. All right. Number six.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: I should get a little, like, a transition thing.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Does it? Oh, my God. Number six, Trevor Lawrence.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: That's what we're doing after the show, by the way.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars. Trevor Lawrence. What? The guy from Clemson with
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the long hair? He's number six in the NFL?
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Sunshine?
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Sunshine? Oh, yeah. Last year, Liam Cohen.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Played MVP-type level.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Five incompletions. He almost had as many touchdown passes as incompletions. 18-23.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: And Cleveland's defense, it really is not bad.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Their offense is atrocious.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: I think they were top 10 in the league a
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: year ago.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: In every category.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: He led the entire NFL this past weekend in QBR 150.6.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: He was the highest graded on PFF quarterback in the
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: NFL at 87.1. Um, what a game for touchdown passes.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Didn't have a lot of rushes. Didn't have to do it,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: but again, 150.6 QBR. So I wasn't really thinking that
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: he was going to make this top 10 list right now,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: but the way he has played and the way he
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: is playing with, um, with the Duval people. Uh, yeah,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: pretty good. Four tutters led the NFL. Pretty good. All right,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: let's go to our top five. And he is five. Oh, who?
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: You should have put it for the top five. And
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: he is five. Jalen hurts. Another deep cut. OTB is right.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: 14 to 25, 203 yards, three touchdowns, seven rush attempts
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: for 46 yards, a QBR of 122.2. This guy is
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: the kind of the epitome of just like the, the,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the ultimate team guy and gets it done when it matters.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Like he has, I agree. He just gets it done.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I like Jalen Hurts a lot. I do like Jalen Hurts.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I don't like the people that think he's the best
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: or top two. No, I don't either. He deserves to
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: be on the list. Absolutely.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: 100%.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: He is a competitor. All he does is really win, right?
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: His team just wins. So throwing it, running it. The
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: team leans on him a lot. I have hated on
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: him in the past, and it has nothing to do
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: with him. It has everything to do with the tush
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: push because I hate that. It's stupid, and it should
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: be outlawed, and it's not a real football play, and
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. But
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts is very good. It's his fault.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: It's not his fault.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: It's his tush.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: They are pushing.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: He has the biggest quads ever. He does have some
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: big-ass quads. Okay, you missed me with the whole he
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: squats 650 pounds because most of the times his feet
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: aren't even touching the ground. They're picking him up and
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: pushing him.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: That doesn't take away the fact that he squats that much.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: A lot of other teams have not been as successful
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: doing it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Shut up. Even Josh Allen. I don't care what y'all say.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Say it as much as you want. I don't care.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I don't care. Wow. I don't care. A lot of
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: other teams can't do it. Rubbing off on you. Wow.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Only Matt's right. Yeah. Thank you. Let's go to number four.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. Taylor hates this. Taylor hates it. Alondra hates it.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I love it. Because it's Patrick Mahomes. Maybe the best
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: to ever do it. Maybe the best quarterback to ever
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: play the game. Patrick Mahomes. And he is back, baby.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I don't care how many stem cells. I don't care
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: how much HGH you put in that knee. I don't
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: care how many peptides. It doesn't really matter. If it helped,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: they should make it legal for everybody. Because we want
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: our stars out there. And my God, is he a star?
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: He came back. Okay. maybe not the best point 86
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: quarterback rating but he just blew out his leg he
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: had he scored the first two touchdowns of the game
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: and one of them got called back rushing 15 to
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: 27 a modest 184 yards two touchdowns and a pick
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: seven rush attempts for 23 yards and a tutter 86?
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I don't care. It's Patrick Mahomes. He's in my top
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: five because it seems to be that he is back.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: And the Kansas City Chiefs did something this year that
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: they hadn't really done in a while, which is help him.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Help him offensively. They got a great offensive coordinator. I
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: know Andy Reid makes the play calls. But I can't
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: pronounce his last name. Biennium? Biennium. Biennium. My bad. That's
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: on me. He's awesome. He's awesome when he's in Kansas City.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: And with that offense. So I'm putting them up there,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: and I don't really care what y'all think. Number three.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I'm fine with that. Lamar Jackson. All right.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: I know somebody that's still left now that I've seen
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: number three, and we might have an issue.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know your top two. I don't know your
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: top two, but okay. It'll be fun. It'll be fun
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: to find out. Go ahead. Can't lose to the Cardinals.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying. Oh, I don't care about Herbert. He
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: ain't in the top ten. All right. Not right now.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe I did forget about it, but I did put
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: this together right before the show. We gave you until
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: the 9 o'clock hour. Yeah, I mean. Well, I was
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: doing a radio show until then. Lamar Jackson, 17 to 25,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: 324 yards, one touchdown, seven rush attempts for 40 yards,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: and another tutter, 124.2 QBR. Yeah, you look pretty good.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Look great. Ravens are St. Scott. You got a handful
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: this week and it helps when Derrick Henry is doing
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Derrick Henry type things and scoring a ton of touchdowns.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: But he looked the part throwing it, running it. It
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: looks to be that the Ravens are back after week one.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: And I know we can have a overreaction all the
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: time because that's what we love to do. We've only
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: seen one week of games, but it certainly looks like
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: he is back. And when he is fully healthy, he
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: is a two time MVP for a reason. And like
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Jake said, he is in his 30th year, but he's
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: only 29 years old. Crazy.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: I think I'm going to like the next one.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I think you might like it. Number two. Oh, I
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: thought he was going to be one. Caleb Williams.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: I thought he was going to be your number one.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Well, the other guy that is going to be one
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: has got a little bit more notches on the belt.
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah. And did it against a better defense.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Caleb Williams. What we think is a better defense. What
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: we think. What we think. Caleb Williams. Me thinks. Me
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: thinks it's a better defense. Me thinks Caleb Williams is
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: the second best quarterback in the NFL after week one.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: God, that jump man throw that he made.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, he does some silly things with his throws.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Incredibly athletic. I don't think he's painting his fingernails.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: No, he's not.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: He's got a mustache right now, too.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: He's got an awesome mustache.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Was aura farming at the Cubs game.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: He was. No painted fingernails, which the NFL should be
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: real nervous. That moves him up a spot at least once.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: That moves him up a spot for sure. Also, throwing
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: for 269 yards, two touchdowns, 65 yards rushing. Yeah. 124.1 QBR.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: That moves them up. Just absolutely electric.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Dominates. Scored 59 points. Second highest point total on week
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: one in NFL history.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Their coach, Ben Johnson, did say that they want to
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: set the scoring record this year, and they tried hard
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: in the first week.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: God, I'm so excited to see after I give you
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: number one who I forgot.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Tyler Shuck, number one.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: If Tyler Shuck's not number one on this list and
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: you didn't put Tyler Shuck in the top ten after
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: throwing for 410 yards, this list is.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I didn't say this was the top ten in one
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: half of week one. No, no, no.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: This list, if Tyler Shuck is not number one on
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: this list, this list is Nolan Boyd.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you that there is one person.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: If you put Matthew Stafford, who didn't complete a pass
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: of note in Australia... On this list, and Tyler Shuck's
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: not on this list.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: There's one quarterback on this whole list that lost in
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: week one, and he's the reigning NFL MVP. That is
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: why Tyler Shuck did not make this list this week. Sorry.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Don't play that bad in the first half. You played
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: great in the first, but terrible. Or second, but terrible
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: in the first. Number one. Is this a surprise to anybody?
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: It shouldn't be.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: He was awesome. Josh Allen, 20 of 29, 334 yards.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Two tutters, six rush attempts, 23 yards. Another two touchdowns
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: running the ball. 130.5 passer rating. The guy was Superman.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: The guy is Superman. And I get it. No Super Bowls.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: You got to win it all. I don't care. This
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: is week one. Like, the guy is a force of
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: nature on the football field. And sure, maybe he can't
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: get it done when it matters the most in the playoffs.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: He gets it done most of the times. So it's
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: best quarterback in the NFL right now, Josh Allen.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Most yards in the NFL right now, Tyler Shuck.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: 0-1. I'm not pandering to Saints fans on my top
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: ten list.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: This isn't a top ten teams ranking. It's a quarterback ranking.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, so who had a better quarterback performance?
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Tyler Shuck had a better performance than Patrick Mahomes and
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you're going to put Tyler Shuck ahead of
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes and Matthew Stafford? It's not about what they've
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: done in the past. Who are you taking out? I'm
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: taking out Matthew Stafford.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: Matthew Stafford did not look good at all.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: He didn't have a touchdown. Like, did not have a touchdown.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: This is not what have you done for me in
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: the past. It's what have you done for me right now.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: This is the current Matt Flynn top ten quarterback rankings.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: That's why Justin Herbert's not on there.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: He was awful. I'm over him.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: You just said you can't lose to the Cardinals. That's
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: why Herbert's not on here. And I agree wholeheartedly.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: You also said you can't blame him for them traveling
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: 24 hours before to go to Australia yet.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: You play i said it was dumb he said you
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: can't blame him i said it was dumb but.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: Also like he's the only quarterback on this list to
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: throw for less than 180 no touchdowns had a turnover nfl.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Mvp people okay in 2025 but yeah this.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Is tyler shuck beat five bad teams last year this.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Is wow now this is now you're doubling down.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: On this yeah because y'all are coming at me.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Bro wow No other quarterback do it for 400 yards.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: He had a higher quarterback rating than Patrick Mahomes and
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford, and it was right about where Jared Goffs was.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: You're right. Chuck's better than Mahomes.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: There's someone else missing on this list.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Who?
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, Joey B.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, their defense scored most of the points.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: I understand. We talked about it a little bit before
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: the show. I get why Burrow's not on there. He
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: had a fishing game, but I don't know.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Wow, these lists are very hard to make.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Is that not the same, like, Matthew Stafford?
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: I don't think Stafford should be on it.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: All right. We'll do Jake's top ten fullbacks tomorrow. Yeah!
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: There's 16 of them, so don't tent me with a
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: good time.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Guess what, though? Can you just do the top 16?
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Just all of them. Hell, yeah. Just all of them.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: We're going to rank all the fullbacks. It won't take long.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Isn't there a fullback that's 300 pounds? Yeah. That's a
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: great card. Giants. A good 300 pounds. Yeah.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: He looked slimmer the other night.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: The Giants have a good tailor.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: I was looking at him and I was like, I
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: don't know if he's as big as he used to be.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: There's a couple of NFL teams that whoever their tailor is,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: they need to pay them more.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: The Ravens.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: He's played for both the Ravens and the Giants.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Maybe top two.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Our jerseys used to have like a little bagginess to them.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: I was like, why don't they fit like those?
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: And it was like every player.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: I remember LT's jersey had like, it was baggy at
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: the bottom. I'm like, that's like one of the greatest
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: running backs of all time. Can we get him a tailor?
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Can we get a seamstress to maybe tighten that up
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: a bit? No, that costs too much money for the
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: old Bush League bolts.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Well, guess what?
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: Great list with the exception of Matt.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: We are going to post this online. And guess what?
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Come at me, bro. Come at me. Don't tag me.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Bring it on. Bring it on. Matthew Stafford's not very good. Blah, blah, blah.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: I didn't say he wasn't good.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: I'm saying for this week, he should not be.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: On the list. Week one. It says week one. After
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: week one.

  Speaker 2: pointy finger in my backpack. Anyways.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: We spend too much time on this.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's cut it. Golly. That was a rude way
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: to end it.
• 18:53

• 21:34
  Speaker 4: I got a text. This list might be Matt's low
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: point on the show.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Ah.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Get out of here. You suck.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: I did appreciate your comment in the chat.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: What?
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: Cracked me up. All caps, of course. I love shock.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: Immediately responds, I buck.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I buck. That's right. Not hard enough. I buck for Shaq.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: Seems like you buck more for Matthew Stafford.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Ooh, reigning MVP. Sorry. Ten lists.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: This week.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Winning matters. I need you to operatively define. It does
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: say this. You said it's after week one on your headline.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I told you before I gave the list how I
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: was doing it, and I said you might not like it.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: And it might not be fair. I might have one
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: reasoning for one person, and that same reasoning doesn't apply
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: to another person because you've earned the benefit of the
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: doubt for me.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: You know what? Fair enough. You did say that disclaimer.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I did disclaim it.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you need to fix your graphic then.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Put that disclaimer at the bottom?
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: That, and you need to take away after week one.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Because it makes us believe that it means week one.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: It is a list that I gave after week one.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: A trash one.
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: But it's not based on we won.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Why is he so mad we lost? Winning matters. There's
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: only one quarterback on the list that lost, and it's
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the reigning NFL MVP. He gets the benefit of the doubt.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: If Shuck would have won it last week and had
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: a bad game, or last year and had a bad
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: game this week, he'd be on the list.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: I can't really feel my eye roll.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Tyler Shuck should have won MVP last year, I guess,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: is the moral of the story. For the last five games,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: Despite playing those bad teams.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: What did I say wrong? Hey, Shuck. What did I
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: say wrong? Shuck, I got your back, bro. Me too, buddy.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: I'm bucked. He doesn't buck. I'm bucked. Oh, man. I
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: love Tyler Shuck. I think he's awesome. I saved his life.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: You did. You did do that. I did save his life.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: That was a big water moccasin. I was getting ready
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: to tackle him away from it, too, if I had to.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: Would you have been willing to pick up the snake,
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: bare hand, throw it?
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably so. Okay. It was long enough to where
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: you could grab the tail and give it a good.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: You could also give it a good whip, too, and
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: probably pop the head off. At least crack it.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: I'm asking this in, like, a serious way. So Umami
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Allen getting surf papers in the parking lot, you try
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: to embarrass him a little bit. And this was something
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: from the summertime that we talked about, and everybody kind
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: of knew that it was a situation. But you do
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: it this week during this game, and you do it
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: at the LSU facility. Isn't that adding fuel to the
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: fire for the nation?
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: It's making Lane's job really easy. Making Lane's job really easy, right?
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Like, I travel with the team, but I, like, Like,
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: I'm in the shadows. Like, I'm a very small part
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: of the travel contingency there. But I almost want to
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: be like, hey, can I stand up and get on
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: this little speaker on the airplane and just give the.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Boys a good word?
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Like, that's how mad, like, little petty things like this
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: have started, like, to make me angry. And I'm like, man,
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: I can't wait for this game. I'm not even playing
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: in it. Now, I didn't redshirt, so if you need
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: me on a kickoff, I don't know where we fall
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: on that.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. but you got it. I think they're just adding
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: fuel to the fire.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Like, I think they think what they're doing is like,
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: let's go embarrass them. Let's go do this. This is
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: going to make them look even worse. They're going to
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: look even more like the villain. They don't give a damn.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: That's the thing that y'all don't understand. We don't, they don't,
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: nobody in this city or this state cares that you
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: think that that is something that is embraced because Louisiana
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: doesn't care about Mississippi.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: They don't care about Arkansas. They don't care about Arkansas.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: They don't really care about Texas. Sorry, we love y'all.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Y'all are now us. They don't.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: They just do not care about other places. Louisiana cares
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: about Louisiana. That's how it's always been. That's how it's
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: always going to be. So for you to think, oh,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: we're going to get the rest of the country against them.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: We don't care. Cool. Do it.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: It's like Louisiana people are going to stick together. They're
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: going to do what's best for Louisiana. They're going to
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: celebrate Louisiana. And look, there's other states that are prideful.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: I get that. But this one, and I've lived in
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: a lot of different states, it's as prideful as any.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: And y'all have lived in Texas too. That's a very
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: prideful state as well. But I'm saying Louisiana does not
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: care about what the rest of the country thinks about them.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: LSU does not care. LSU is going to care about
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: those three letters and those two colors. And so you
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: think this is working for you when I think it's
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: going to work against you, like to get ready for
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Once the ball is kicked, all that goes out the window.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: But I don't know that I would make that person–
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: even more ready to play in this game than he
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: already is.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, this does nothing. I mean, it's just,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: like I said, it makes Lane's job easier. And then
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: after I said it, I was like, well, there's probably
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: no way to motivate people even more. Like, they're probably
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: already as motivated as a 18 to 23-year-old kid. For
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss, it's 18 to 26. Yeah. As motivated as
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: they can get, they're already there, right? Like, this doesn't–
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: this is just– this is just.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this one feels like an individual situation if I
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: was Umami Ellen. Like, the place that I left, okay,
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: this is what they want to do. I've already shown
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: that I'm a really good football player this year, and
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: you're going to get the best version of me. Like,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: whatever that thing that we always talk about to get
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: ready for the big game, that extra film study, that
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: extra walkthrough, that extra– Hey, let's go over what their
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: tackle likes to do when I bull rush, when I
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: go up and under. All those type of things that
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: you act like you're doing when you're playing Louisiana Tech,
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: but you really don't.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Those things are going to be done this week to
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: get ready for Ole Miss. Yeah, I can't wait. Like
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: we talked about yesterday, Saturday is going to be an
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: absolute show. It is going to be from the moment
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: you wake up in the morning, whether you are in Oxford,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: whether you are at home, watching game day, the feels,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: whatever environment you're in, it's going to be electric getting
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: ready for this game. And then once the show starts,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: once the game, once the ball is kicked off, once
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: that boot is introduced to that ball, it is going
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: to be an absolute show. Because you know, this isn't
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: going to be a standard game. Something's going to happen.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: There is going to be videos that you're going to
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: see on Twitter coming from tailgating. Some videos are going
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: to be fun. Some videos are going to be funny.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Some videos are going to be like, why did they
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: do that? Those people are idiots. Those people are drunk.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: And then the game is going to start and something
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: crazy is going to happen. And it's going to be
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Saturday is going to be absolutely electric. I can't wait
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: for it. We are, let's see, one, two, three days away.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: It's going to be awesome. And these kids don't need
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: any more motivation. Serving them court papers in the parking
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: lot of football ops building, probably disguised as somebody seeking
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: an autograph and then getting served as papers. You're a loser.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: You're an absolute loser. Ole Miss, you're a loser. You're
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: irrelevant in the overall scheme of things. You're finally good. Congratulations.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Pat on the back. You're not going to be good
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: for long. You'll be irrelevant again, and LSU will be here.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: Period.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: Jake, you were talking about, like, Ole Miss, like, kind
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: of not knowing how to troll. They posted yesterday, remember
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: what happened the last time the Tigers came to Oxford?
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: And it was the game from a year ago, scoring
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: a touchdown. It pans to the booth and Charlie Weiss Jr.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Is celebrating.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: I'm like, hey, guys, where are those guys at right now?
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: That's our team. That's not your team anymore. It's wild
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: to me.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: In a couple years, nobody's going to care about this game.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah. You know what else is kind of annoying?
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: Okay, this is such a dumb thing to be annoyed by,
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: but like Pete Golding in a press conference the other day,
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: he was saying how he's not going to lead the
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: team down whatever walk they do. And I just feel
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: like he's being like, guys, I'm not like Lane.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: I'm so different from Lane. I'm not like the other girls. Yeah,
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: he's like, it has to be about the team and
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: this and that.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not like the other girls.
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: And it's because Lane's Tiger Walk has been getting so
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: much attention because of Sam Nader.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: If Sam was on that thing.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Hell, yeah.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: His granddaughter, Brooks.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Fellas, we're going to lead you down the hill. We're
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: going to take a left once we get to the
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: locker room.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: It's a great Sam.
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: But it just was annoying. I just think that. Pete,
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: I don't have an issue with Pete himself.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: I like Pete.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: And I like Pete. Lane and him.
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: Still are friends and all of that. But all of
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: it is just so annoying with the, I'm not Lane.
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: I'm the hero here.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: He's the villain. Look at me. Like, I don't know.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: It's just, it's pick me.
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: I'll never leave you for the hotter girl.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: It's like, I don't know if.
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: The hotter girl wants you yet though, Pete.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: They don't really have any like celebs, sort of celebs
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: that really like all this, right? Do they?
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. Not that I know of.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: There's a comedian at T-Bob brought in that one time. Oh,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: that girl.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: We did talk about her.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was somebody else.
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: Speaking of lack of famous alums, who's the guest picker
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: for Ole Miss?
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Do we know? No idea.
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: It's a tough choice.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: It's got to be Eli, right? He's probably done it. Probably, though.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: But, like, that's it.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: But it's Eli. Yeah. Katy Perry was Ole Miss that
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: one time.
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: Which, like, yeah, is she even?
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Super normal. All right. We got to take a break.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: We can, I'll read it. And then do we want
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: to tease it?
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: So read it.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: These players are paid.
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: They have agents. They also need to understand what signing
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: a contract means. LSU fan here, but signing a contract
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: binds you to the terms, pay what you.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Owe and move on. I don't think any of us
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: are like saying that.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: We're not saying anything about that. Three days before the game. Right.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: And look, not every contract is less than teasing. Cause
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: it's going to spend no time on this. Um, I
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: understand what you're saying, but also, like, I've signed plenty
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: of contracts in the NFL where I got released and
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: didn't get ish. Like, not every contract is written the same.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: So we don't know the exact language of it. And
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: I know we know some of it, but we don't
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: know the exact language of it. And I'm not even
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: saying that they don't have a case. They might have
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: a case. It's the timing of it, when they did it,
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: how petty they've been in doing this whole process. On
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: that note, we'll take a break. More OTB when we
• 32:20

  Speaker 2: That's happened a couple times. I always try to, like,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: point to the headphones. We can't talk back right now.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: It surprises me how many people... Oh, it.
• 35:05

  Speaker 2: at commercial, we're talking to each other, right?
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but y'all have y'all's headsets off.

• 35:39
  Speaker 2: That's all I had.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: Like you did last time. Have y'all looked at the slate,
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: by the way, for college football?
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: It's bad. Again?
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: It is bad, bad. Ranked matchups. I'm going to give

  Speaker 3: Number 22, Houston, at number 13, Texas Tech. Number 16, SMU,
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: at number 23, Louisville.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: That's it?
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Number seven LSU, number eight Ole Miss. So not only
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: is it undoubtedly the game of the week, it's the
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: game of the week by a lot.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: There's going to be a lot of eyeballs that are
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: on that one that just don't have anything else to watch.
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: Week one was pretty weak, too.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: I'm sure Notre Dame is playing somewhat good.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: Wait, who's Notre Dame playing?
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: That's a joke.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: We had a good slate last week, though, right?
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: So I was looking at it. I saw a post
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: on that note.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: I didn't like last week.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: I said, there's no way this is the Big Ten
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: schedule this week. Oregon versus Portland State. Ohio Savers, Kent State.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Penn Savers, Buffalo. Minnesota, Akron. Wisconsin, Eastern Michigan. Illinois, Southern Illinois. Indiana,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Western Kentucky. Iowa, Northern Iowa. And the list goes on.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: There's the Big Ten plays nobody. Week.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: That's not exactly the who's who on the slate there.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: You know what? And Notre Dame does this every year. Like,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: they'll play a Michigan State, and they're like, we're playing
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: a Big Ten team. Bro, you're playing Michigan State and Purdue.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: You're playing two teams that ended winning records in years.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: It's not our fault they ended winning records in two decades.
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: However, though.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: I guess the Big Noon kickoff would be the only
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Big Ten matchup, which would be Rutgers-USC. I guess that's the.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Rutgers and USC. I guess that's the Big Noon matchup. No,
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: that's a 230. Maybe UCLA-Purdue?
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: I actually think, and I could be totally off on this,
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: I think the big noon kick is actually Arizona State
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: and Kansas from Wembley in London.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: They're playing in London this week. I don't know if
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: y'all knew that.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: I think big noon kick is there at that game.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: So 1-1 Arizona State, who got beat by three touchdowns
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: against Texas A & M, and Kansas, who got beat
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: by two touchdowns against Missouri?
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's the big noon kick, and it's going to
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: be in London. Wait, I thought Big Noon Kick was
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Big Ten exclusive. It's Big 12, too. Is it? All right.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Learned something today. I thought it even had the Big
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: Ten logo in there, the Noon Kickoff logo. It's either
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Big 12 or Big Ten. Okay. Learned something today. I'm excited.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Got to learn something every day if you want to
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: get better.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Now, the actual Noon game on Fox is Ohio State
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: hosting Kent State.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Barn Burner. Watch out. That's going to be a good one.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: It's a good one.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: That's going to be a good one.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know you just talked about this, but
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: the opponents in the Big Ten this weekend, Portland State,
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: Kent State, Buffalo, Akron, Eastern Michigan, Southern Illinois, UTEP, Western Kentucky,
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Northern Iowa, North Dakota, Eastern Washington, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Colorado,
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Virginia Tech.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: I guess that's the best game, right? Virginia Tech, Maryland?
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Both 2-0, probably. I don't know. Anyway, everything's going to suck,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: but LSU Ole Miss, that's going to be awesome. It's
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: going to be absolute vibes. I can't wait. I'm so excited.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: All right, let's uh, let's take a break. Uh, we'll
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: wrap it up with a little ask of the bench.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what that is. Hashtag Ask the Bench.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: Should there be any concern regarding dirty plays by Ole
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: Miss to– Purposefully injure LSU players as a former player.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: Is that something that is ever addressed by the staff?
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, you try to hurt somebody on every play.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: It's a violent game by nature. But if you're doing
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: stuff extracurricular, then it should get called. Typically does get called.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they enforce those pretty hard. I think you'd rather
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: win the game. Now you try to hurt somebody. It's
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: a violent sport. You try to hurt the person in
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: front of you every single play. You don't try to
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: do anything dirty. Right. Do they discuss it? Yeah, they
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: might discuss the pregame stuff on the field. Let's not
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: go to the 50. Let's not try to get a fight.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Let's not do this. Don't take the bait a lot
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: of times. A lot of times you'll get some smarter
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: guys that will try to bait you during the game
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: for you to get a penalty. Stay out of the pit.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: Don't do anything dirty. Don't fight in pregame.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: Hashtag ask the bench, did Jake remember to switch to
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: nookie mode?
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: I did nook.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: I saw that message. Hashtag ask the bench, where does
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: Flynn's loyalty lie? Tough showing today.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Lies with how I see quarterbacks. I told y'all. I
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: gave you this.
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: Matt knows his truth.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: I'm going to live it. I love Chuck. I told
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: y'all I buck. I didn't feel like it. Let me
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: tell you this. For those of y'all hating, I invested
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: $ 0 in Matthew Stafford playing cards this past year. I
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: invested a lot of dollars in Tyler Shuck playing cards.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Because Shuck was a rookie. Hashtag ask the bench. I
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: could have bought rookie cards from Stafford.
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: I heard two Ole Miss guys this morning say there
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: might be fights in the press box. Are you ready
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: to throw hands? I've got money on you, Bo. You
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: already know the answer to that. I don't like that
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: I thrive in confrontation, but I do enjoy it. And
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: if there becomes a situation where I've got to defend
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: the LSU Sports Radio Network, I got you, CB.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: Don't worry. That's a very Ole Miss thing to say. Guys,
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: we might fight them. No, you're not. You're not going
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: to do anything.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know who does their games. I don't know
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: who their former football player is up in the booth,
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: but I got him.
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: Bo Wallace.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: Come on, Bo. Fighting for because somebody said something you
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: didn't like is dumb. Fighting to protect somebody. Yeah. If
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: I got to protect the voice of the LSU Tigers,
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do it. And the confrontation Jake is
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: probably mostly referring. It's like arguing and getting, you know,
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: you ain't going to say that around here.
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Would you say? It's very, in my opinion, very few
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: things actually throw hands for. And that is to protect
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: loved ones, to protect people. Not because you're butthurt. And
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of Ole Miss people butthurt.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: So head on a swivel out there, LSU fans.
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: Better not get my face.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: Hashtag ask the bench.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: Do you go with a punch or a tackle first?
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Depends on who it is.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: If they got like a long reach on them, then
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: I think you go tackle first and then you throw hands.
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: And if, you know, you feel like you got the
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: reach on them, then you throw hands and then.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: Maybe you tackle.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: You set them up with the jab first.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: Let's just all have fun. Shut up. It's a joy,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: a football game between two good teams. Ask the bench.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: Does anyone hate anyone else as much as Flynn hates Shuck?
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: You guys. You guys are silly. You're crazy, man. Tyler
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Shug is the number one and number two best quarterback
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: in the NFL.
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: No one's saying that.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: I'll update the chart.
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: Way to take it to the extreme that nobody said.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: Everybody's taking it to the extreme.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: Get scone in the press box to drop some Ole
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: Miss fools. Might as well invite Hunt while we're there.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: Let's all have fun.
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: Hunt versus Matt Flynn in a fight. Who are you taking?
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: I'm taking those cankles. Oh, my God, guys. I'm taking
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: those cankles. Did y'all not hear the Whataburger story?
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: It's true.
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: That Superman punched a guy. We saw the pic.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: I'm taking a laundry over a lot of people in
• 46:32
