• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Dude, they said I got to come off the bench.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Hour two of Off the Bench, live from the Raising

• 0:56
  Speaker 5: Cane Studio. Jake Flynn, Alondra, and Tay-Tay, the Wolfpack, all
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: here with you. As we've talked about, LSU is going
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: to be off this weekend. So what does week number
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: nine in the college football world look like without the
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: Tigers being on the schedule?
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Because, look, you're going to have some off time. So
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: what are you going to do?
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: You're going to watch more college football. So you're asking yourself, okay, great.
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: Does that mean we've got some barn burners? Does that
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: mean we have some games that are going to move
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: the needle?
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Eh, eh, not really. Not really.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: Ranked on ranked matchups right now, you've got number 22, Arizona,
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: and number 13, Texas Tech.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: You've got number 17, Florida, and number three, Georgia. That's
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: the list. That is the list. It is not exactly,
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: you know, the who's who of who's playing each other.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Some other games involving SEC teams that you'll be paying
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: attention to. The Auburn Tigers traveling to Oxford to take
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: on the number 12 Ole Miss Rebels.
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: They had the chance to do the funniest thing ever.
• 2:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, really. Keelan Russell.
• 2:04
  Speaker 8: I mean, Keelan Russell, Jesus. Kawan Lacey not playing in
• 2:07
  Speaker 8: that game. So that's the game.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: I'm going to hate watch that so hard.
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm just watching this. That's going to be a
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: good game, I feel like. How does Ole Miss handle
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: getting beat on the road? Auburn, clearly a better road
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: team than a home team. It's going to be a
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: fun one.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: No bell cow.
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: No bell cow. Classic bell cow.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: What's wrong with the bell cow?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: I feel like we talked about that recently on the show.
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: Because you were like, why is it called a bell cow?
• 2:44
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 2:45
  Speaker 7: See, I got there. We've had a lot of conversations.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: Sometimes they're tough to remember.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: That's what we do on a three-hour radio show, bud.
• 2:52
  Speaker 10: A random one that is maybe a little interesting, but
• 2:56
  Speaker 10: hear me out. I'm not even trying to be funny.
• 3:00
  Speaker 10: Baylor at UCF. They just fired their head coach. UCF
• 3:03
  Speaker 10: coming off a big win. Only a one-and-a-half point favorite, though.
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: And a real bump. Real thing. It is a real thing.
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: That's a good uniform matchup, too.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, it is.
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: One day Miranda.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Rip.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Ripped our guy, Dave.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: He'll find something.
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: I like Minnesota-Indiana this week. That's a sneaky matchup. Indiana 7-1.
• 3:28
  Speaker 8: They really haven't looked impressive. Minnesota's quietly 5-2. That's actually
• 3:33
  Speaker 8: not a bad matchup.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, you've got Ohio State traveling to USC. USC
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: just got beat up by Wisconsin.
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: They did.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: Miami, who doesn't play literally anybody, traveling to Chapel Hill
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: to take on.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: UNC.
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: Greatest NFL coach ever?
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: I don't think Unk's ready for that one.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: 14.5 point favorite on the road is really funny.
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: Florida versus Georgia. This just feels like a game that
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: Florida could win by 20. I don't know. But then
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: they would just lose next week to Vanderbilt.
• 4:08
  Speaker 10: Florida-Georgia game makes me want to roll my windows down
• 4:11
  Speaker 10: and what is it?
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Groove?
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Groove.
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: I think so.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: Down a back road?
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Makes me want to take a back road. All the
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: country songs, Laundrie.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: It's just not what you want for your team being
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: on the bye week. Can Auburn do anything against Ole Miss?
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: Not that team I saw last week. What can you
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: do there?
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Florida, Georgia, maybe. Because we don't know who Florida is.
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying. They could win this by 20,
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: and I don't think it'd shock anybody.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Can I interest you in number six Utah and Cincinnati?
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I was actually just about to bring that one up. J.C.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: French. J.C.
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: French, a quarterback for Cincinnati. He has been good all
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: year long. That game last week, Cincinnati was in control
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: of that game the entire time against Tech.
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Hell yeah.
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: Hell yeah.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Hell yeah, brother. I mean, everybody is going to be
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: locked in on Nevada and UCLA. No doubt. Are you
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: kidding me? 315 on the Big Ten Network?
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: 22.5 points spread. There's a Big Ten Network?
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: There is. There is a Big Ten Network.
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: Does anybody in the country have an easier path to
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: the playoffs than UCLA?
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Their remaining schedule is Nevada at Minnesota, Illinois at Michigan,
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: and USC at home.
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: So no. Not one of those teams has a little
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: number by their name.
• 5:58
  Speaker 9: No.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: The only team that they will have faced that was
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: ranked is number 13, Oregon, who is no longer ranked.
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: They took care of business. 17-15. Weird score.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: Very weird score.
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: 17-15. Don't see that one a lot.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: Is that Skorigami? Probably not.
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: Are there any Skorigamis in college football left? Probably not
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: because there's so many teams. Can't be, right?
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: Can't be.
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: Looks like a job for Claude.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: 17-15 is a weird one, though. Ask Claude.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: In the rankings, since we didn't do this yesterday, number
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: one team in the country, still Miami, 59 first-place votes.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: Ohio State number two in the country with 10 first-place votes,
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: followed by number three, Georgia, number four, Indiana, number five.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: Number six, Utah, with a first-place vote. Number seven, UCLA.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: Number eight, BYU. Number nine, Kentucky. And number 10, Alabama.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: LSU comes in at number 15 in the AP poll.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: And number 13 in the coaches poll. So I guess,
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: you know, if there was a way... for us to
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: be able to decide who was better, number five Notre
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: Dame or number eight BYU. There was only a way
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: for us to get them on the field at the
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: same time and play each other to decide which one
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: of those teams was better.
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: That'd be weird. It's tough to do, Jake. It's true.
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: You're asking too much.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: You're right.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: But if there was, you know what I'm saying?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: There was a way to decide which one of those teams.
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: That'd be sweet.
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: Because then you could just see who scored more points.
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: And then that team would be ranked higher.
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: There'd have to be a whole room or building full
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: of real adults that would decide that.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: 10 through 20 right now.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: I mentioned Alabama's number 10. Texas is number 11. Ole
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: Miss is 12. Texas Tech's 13.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Wake Forest is 14.
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: LSU, 15.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Tennessee, 16.
• 8:00
  Speaker 10: Florida, 17.
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: Houston, 18.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: SMU, number 19.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: And Boise State, 10. Comes in at number 20. So
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: still left on your schedule for LSU is going to
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: be number 10, Alabama, number 11, Texas, number 16, Tennessee,
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: and then you've got Arkansas.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: They're not ranked, in case you're wondering.
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: Arkansas?
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: I bet they were like at the bottom with like
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: others receiving votes.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Almost, almost. Not quite there yet.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: No kidding.
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: Give me a shot. Anybody Navy over Notre Dame? Anybody? Anybody?
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: No, Navy's not good this year.
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Neither is Notre Dame.
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but, like, Navy's, like, they're 2-5 right now. To
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: your point, though, like, normally Navy does give that a game.
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: Normally that is a tight one. I just don't see
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: it this year.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Fine.
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: Y'all been watching a lot of Navy?
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I found myself watching, like, three Navy games.
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: I think I saw, like, their opening game.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: That's all I've seen.
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: In fairness.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Sorry.
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: But, I mean, I just.
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: I know they don't have the toughest schedule, and they're 2-5,
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: so I'm just going to assume that they're not very good.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Do y'all have a problem with....
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: There's a lot I have a problem with.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: Well, like a team like Indiana, who they've played one
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: good team, and they lost to that team.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: It was a close game, but they've played one good team.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Their wins are against North Texas, Howard, Western Kentucky, Northwestern, Rutgers, Nebraska, Michigan.
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and they're like.
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they have one ranked win. Number four against Northwestern.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: And they get the benefit of the doubt. Look, they
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: won the national championship, and same thing for Notre Dame. Like,
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: why are they getting– like, Notre Dame does not have
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: a ranked victory. The team that they've played in BYU
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: beat them, the ranked team that they played. So I
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: just– I guess I just– I don't understand why we
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: continue to do this. Like, why are both those teams
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: ahead of UCLA even? Like, if they got a loss, UCLA,
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: they got one ranked win too. Just, you know, Notre
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Dame didn't have any. They don't have any. And they're
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: ranked ahead of them? Because we think they could beat them. Oh,
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: you think?
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: But, like, what are you basing that on?
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: UCLA's in the Big Ten.
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's such a subjective, like, oh, it's just our opinion.
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: But you're not basing it off of anything.
• 10:13
  Speaker 10: Jake, your problem is that you're trying to add logic
• 10:15
  Speaker 10: to this list, and there's just not.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: Well, let's put our money where our mouth is, people,
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: and let's make an OTB top 25. Okay.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Like an actual what it should be?
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: Like an actual what it should be.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: All right, we can start that during the breaks.
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: We did that last year.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: We did.
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: Oh, and everybody got to pick one. Yeah, we did
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: the preseason event.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah, because, I mean, it is fun to yell at
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: the rankings and make comparative, because there's some obvious things, right?
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: There's some common sense things. But it's also pretty, when
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: the season's as crazy as it is, and you've got
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: the results that it is now, like that you have now,
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: and at this point in the season, because, like, at
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: what point do you stop looking at head-to-head matchups?
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: And how many losses over... or override a head-to-head matchup,
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: common opponents. There's a lot of things that don't make sense,
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: but it is a tough job. It sounds like a
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: job that we're up to.
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: Are you bootlicking the committee right now? Are you bootlicking
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: the committee right now?
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: It feels like it. No, I'm trying to set up
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: how great our list is going to be.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: You should move to Dallas and go hang out with
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: them in that hotel they hang out at.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: You go hang your hat.
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: No, I'm not taking my hat off. You can't get
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: in that. I wouldn't be able to.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: Ours will be sick only because, like, it's ours.
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: Because it's ours and it's fact. If you can't take
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: the hat off, though, buddy. LSU, number one.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: I'm not taking the hat off.
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: I swear to God, if anybody says Notre Dame in
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: the top 25.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: My high can't be in this ranking.
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: Sponsored by my high.
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: It is sponsored by my high. Duh.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Everything's sponsored by my high.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: Well, I guess we'll start that process when we come back.
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: Don't sound too excited, Jake. I guess we'll start that.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: We didn't plan on it. I guess we will.
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: All right, before we do that, I want to tell
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: you about our friends over at GoTommies. G-E-A-U-S. Tommies with
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: a Y dot com. Tommies Windows, Doors, and Siding.

• 12:29
  Speaker 5: And since they've been in the game, since they started
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: the business, well, guess what they do?

• 12:36
  Speaker 5: Every year since 2016, best windows in the Advocate in 2025.
• 12:40

• 12:44
  Speaker 4: see their custom projects. Remember that they can do a
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: little bit of everything over there.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: So if you have a job and you're like, man,
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: I just, I don't know. I don't know if they
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: can customize this project. Maybe it's a little different. And no,
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: trust me when I say have Tommy and the team
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: come out, look at your space. You're going to change
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: your space. You'll be blown away. Go tommys.com. More OTB
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: when we come back here live from the Raising Cane Studio.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Off the Bench.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn, presented
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: by Community Steel.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: I never meant to call you a pain. I only want.
• 13:37
  Speaker 9: To see you laughing.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: I only want.
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: To see you laughing in the purple rain. Purple rain.
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: Purple rain.
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Welcome back in.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: A little OTB here on a Tuesday morning.
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: Purple rain. Feeling it.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: All right, so this is not our top 25, but
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: I did ask AI. I was like, hey, all right,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: give me an actual resume.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: I said, take out preseason narratives and big brands and
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: give me a resume building top 25. So here's how
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: the top 10 would look according to AI. Miami 1,
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: UCLA 2, Utah 3, Kentucky 4, Indiana 5, Ohio State 6, BYU, seven.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: Texas, number eight. Notre Dame, number nine.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: And Georgia, number 10. They list LSU all the way
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: down at number 17. It says six wins and strong
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: overall performance, but losses to Kentucky at Ole Miss keep
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: the Tigers behind both.
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: Okay. That's more fair.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: AI, you're dumb-dumb. Because you still have Notre Dame, number nine.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: What have they done to be number nine?
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: See? AI can't even get over it. What is.
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: What has Miami done? And I think Miami's good. I
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: really do. I think Miami's a good football team. But
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: what have they done to be number one? Their best
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: win is against Wake Forest. I think Wake's a good team.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: Wake would catch a lot of fades in the SEC.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: A lot of them.
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: That's a friends and family game in the SEC. Yeah.
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: UCLA's got wins against Wisconsin and Oregon. They've got a
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: better resume than Miami.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: Okay, so, like, I'm with you, and I agree with
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: most of what you're saying and hinting at. But, like,
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: if you're in a conference, right, I think you get
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: way more benefit if you have a weaker schedule because... Sure,
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: you can schedule opponents, and they have. They've scheduled Notre Dame.
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: I guess they're forced. You told me they're forced to
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: schedule Notre Dame.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: It's part of the ACC scheduling. They have to. They're non-conference.
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: I just thought it was a Miami-Notre Dame thing.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: Notre Dame has to play six ACC games every year.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: So you're non-con for Miami outside of that, Florida A
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: & M.
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: And Central Michigan. But if you're in a conference... I mean,
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: you can't control, at least a power four cover, you
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: can't control how good or bad the other teams at
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: your conferences are going to be. So, like, for Miami,
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: I don't think you can penalize them. They've looked dominant.
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: They've looked really good. Who'd they almost lose to, though?
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Florida State. Florida State.
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: Overtime. They should get knocked for that one. They should
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: get knocked for that one a little bit. UCLA, I mean,
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: that's just a brutal schedule. That's terrible. They didn't know
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: Oregon was not going to be ranked, though. So I
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: hear your argument, and I agree with it. But, I mean,
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: are you going to put them like– where would you
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: put Miami, UCLA?
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, technically, UCLA has a better resume.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Really, my argument's not even going to be Miami at
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: the top.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: I know they haven't played anybody. Now, I do think
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: they are the part of a number one type team. Really,
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: the problem I have is to still.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Have Indiana at number five and to have Notre Dame
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: at number nine. Texas at number eight, I'm like, okay.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: Why would Georgia not be at number eight?
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: See, I did the same thing over here. I said
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: take no previous polls. No preseason. No previous polls. I
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: want it based off of roster, schedule, your record, strength
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: of schedule, quality wins, quality losses, common opponent variables, and
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: any other valuable metric. Number one, Miami. Two, Ohio State. Three, Indiana.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Four, Georgia.
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: Five, UCLA, which is better. Six, BYU. Seven, Notre Dame.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Eight.
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Eight, Texas. Nine, Tennessee. Ten.
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: This is terrible.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Well, you know what? Did you have proofread this?
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: No, I figured it out.
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: What that list is doing, I know what you told
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: it to do. It's only considering who they lost to.
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: It's like, look at Texas.
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: Texas has two losses, but... They're two teams that people
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: think are really good.
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: I just told Clyde this is a terrible list.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: You're going to talk trash to it. Let's see how
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: that goes. Let's go around the room. Who's the best
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: team in the country?
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: I have no problem saying Miami until they get beat.
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: I'm just saying if we're going off resumes. I think
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: they're a I don't think you can go off resumes completely.
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: You got to go off a little bit of everything.
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: I would say if I was voting right now, I'd
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: say Miami number one. Do I think they're the best
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: in the country? No, I don't. But I think you
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: got to rank him number one.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: All right, Alondra.
• 19:45
  Speaker 9: Number one. one I'm.
• 19:53
  Speaker 10: Gonna go with I know that they just lost to
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: UCF but like.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: BYU does have if you want to say the best
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: win of any team I.
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: Mean they beat number two Notre Dame yeah.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: I know the whole point is like Taylor, I could
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: ask you and you probably have to think about it.
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: Well, cause it's hard for me because I want to
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: say Ohio state, but without Julian saying, I don't know
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: what that team looks like. Cause like honestly, Ohio state,
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: you got to win over Indiana. Who's the top 10 team.
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: They got a double digit win over Iowa. Who's five
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: and two. I still think it's pretty good. Their only
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: loss is a one point loss on the road to Texas.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: And they were up, what, 20-3 in that game?
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and I think their resume actually stacks up. The
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: problem is, without Julian saying it, I don't know. I
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: think Miami, on paper, is probably the most talented team. But, again,
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: they haven't done anything. So, like, it really is a
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: huge question mark right now.
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: Y'all might laugh, but, like, taking schedule– if I'm taking, like,
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: scheduling and opponents into consideration, I'm like, these people have
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: probably the best wins– if it's considering how tough it is,
• 21:07
  Speaker 10: I feel like Kentucky deserves to be talked about a
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: little more than they are.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: No, I agree with you.
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: I know that whatever you asked put it at four,
• 21:18
  Speaker 10: but they have some really good wins, and they're not
• 21:23
  Speaker 10: the most flashy elite team ever, but they're a good
• 21:27
  Speaker 10: team that's playing well.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: No, I'm with you on Kentucky needs to get more
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: love because it might not be pretty. It is certainly gritty.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: And they got some really good wins. They got some good,
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: solid road wins.
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: It's just their loss was so one-sided.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: That game, if you watched it, that game actually. It
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: was one half.
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: Not only that, that game was tight. Kentucky fumbled, I believe,
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: three times inside their own 30-yard line. It led to
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: 17 Alabama points.
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: And they've won every game since then.
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: They're going to get.
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: If they can manage these, if they can go two
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: and one the next three weeks, you got number 16, Tennessee.
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: You got number 17, Florida. You got number 23, Missouri.
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: You win two of those three, you're going to get
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: the respect you deserve.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: Let me tell you this. If Florida wins against Georgia
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: this week, Florida's going to have the best wins in
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: the country.
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: That's true.
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: And then lopsided Ole Miss, a Texas, and a Georgia,
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: they will have the best wreck, like the best Best
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: entire schedule. I know they got two losses, and they're
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: just a weird team. I get it, but that'd be, what,
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: two teams that would rank number one at some point
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: in the year and another team that was number two?
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: What was Ole Miss's highest rank? I think six.
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think right after LSU, they were up like
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: six or seven, somewhere in there.
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: What a wild year.
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: All right, let's go ahead and take a break. And

• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Hashtag OTB mailbag. What is a past Halloween costume you
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: dressed as that would have gotten you in trouble today?
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: One year I was a ninja.
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: Nope.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: You can imagine.
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: I don't think I ever dressed as anything like controversial.
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: I got one. I was a ghost.
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: I mean, I had full like white mask with the
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: eye holes poked out.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: Looking back on it, you're like, that could be misinterpreted
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: as something else. I probably still got the picture somewhere
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: I could change.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: We were the Sunset Acres Indians, and one year I
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: did a full Indian.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: I feel like I've done that. Is that bad? I
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: don't know.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, sports teams have changed their names.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: It's true.
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: I don't think I've ever done anything.
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, no. I was, you know, I was on the
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: straight and narrow.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: I'm trying to think of what all that. So Ninja Turtles, Ghostbusters,
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: Dead Ghost. Let's see. I'm trying to think of other
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: things I did. One time I was just like a demon.
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like I was always like basic.
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: When I started to become a teenager, I was like,
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: I'm going to be scared. I had one of those
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: demon masks that had the plastic and I had like
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: the heart valve pump. I mean, it would bleed. I
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: could put blood through it. I had that mask. I
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: think it was Scream one year.
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, my brother had a Scream.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Ghostface.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he had a Ghostface.
• 27:31
  Speaker 10: That had the blood pump thing.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that was sick.
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know.
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: I was always like Dorothy.
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: You could get that at Claire's Boutique, I think.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: Like Dorothy, a rock star one year.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: Who, Dorothy?
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was Dorothy.
• 27:45
  Speaker 10: That was my favorite one because my grandma made the costume.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: One year I wanted to be a blade of grass.
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: We couldn't find the costume, though.
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I feel like that'd be easy to make.
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: I guess so. Yeah, you're right. Just like some poster board.
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: You know, cardboard wasn't as easy to find back then
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: as it is today.
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, fair.
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: You know, it's like we take cardboard for granted, I
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: feel like now, because everybody's got a ton of it.
• 28:15
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: Because of Amazon, obviously.
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: So much cardboard.
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: But back in the day, like cardboard, like when you
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: got some cardboard, you're going to hold on to that
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: baby for a little while.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: Fair enough.
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: Just in case you need to draw on something, need
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: to write, you got to make something. Y'all seen those
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: cardboard cutters, by the way? They're like a pair of scissors,
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: but they're like.
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: For cardboard?
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: But they got battery powered, and they cut cardboard perfectly.
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: And they're super easy to use. Yeah, go check them out.
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: Change your life.
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: Hashtag OTB mailbag. If you could change one thing about
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: your NFL career, what would it be? I probably would
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: have stayed in the city that I was playing in
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: during the entire offseason. I loved coming back to Baton Rouge,
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: but I felt like if you would have stayed there in.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: The offseason and been able to be in the facility,
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: be in the building, it probably would have been a
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: better situation.
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: I try not to, and this is super stereotypical, but
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: it's honestly how I try to live. I try to
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: live with no regret. I try not to think back
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: on things and be like, man, I wish I would
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: have done this. There are very few things in life
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: that I can look back and be like, man, I
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: regret how I handled that situation or how I did that. Right.
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: And those are pretty like personal things. But like when
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: it comes to big, like how I approached, like I
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: know I worked hard. I worked as hard as I could.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: I made a good career. I'm not going to say great,
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: but it was a good career. And it's a lot
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: of things I'm proud of. There's things that I wish
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: went differently. But if I had one regret, I would
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: just say I should have played better in Seattle. I
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: shouldn't have. We did this little golf event, like a
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: golf thing where the senior PGA tour was in Seattle.
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: This is like in the middle of training camp. There's
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: a lot of throws, right? And so they had some
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: senior PGA tour guys come to the facility. And after
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: a training camp practice, we did like this little special
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: for them on TV or whatever, where the quarterbacks took
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: them on and like shooting hoops, throwing a ball and
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: hitting golf ball. And so I was swinging a golf club, like,
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: on the practice field afterwards with these guys. And we
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: were hitting that like they put a flag, like, 50 yards.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Away or whatever.
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: Closest to the pin deal. And so I was swinging
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: a golf. And this was, like, dog days. Like, my
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: arm was tired. And then, like, that day after swinging, like,
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: I had knots all in my forearm. It was just
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: like my whole forearm balled up. And that's when I
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: started getting my tendonitis, which sucked. Which is not the
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: reason why I lost the job. Just want you all
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: to know that. No one is making excuses. I got tendonitis.
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: It affected me for a year. Because you were like,
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: watch this drive. It affected me bad that year, but
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: it was off-season when that was the worst.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: It's more like situations you go to.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: There's a handful of teams that if I would have
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: gone to that team, I would have been a running back,
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: not a fullback.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: I always wondered what that would have turned out to
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: be like. But you can't control it. You got to
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: do what you got to do.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: You can look back at any situation in life and, man,
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: I should have paid more attention there. I should have
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: put the attention to detail there. Man, now hindsight is 20-20.
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: I should have done this instead of that. But, like,
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: at the moment– I was doing everything I thought was
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: the right thing to do. All right.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: Hashtag OTB mailbag. Do you think doing away with divisions
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: has had an outsized impact on scheduling? Missing the strongest
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: teams is a huge advantage with divisions. That wasn't possible.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: I always hated division in school.
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Fair.
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: Me too.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: There's a scheduling imbalance for sure, but when you grow
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: to 16 teams.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: 18 teams in some of these leagues.
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: Like UCLA. We were talking about them. They don't play
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: Ohio State. They don't play Indiana. They played Oregon, who
• 32:03
  Speaker 8: wound up not being as good, but they avoid those teams.
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: Who did we talk about before the season? Penn State.
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: Now, they wind up being trash and not nearly as good,
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: but they avoided all the big-time teams in the Big Ten.
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: So, yeah, there could be. It definitely makes a difference.
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: I mean, just look at it. We just listed off
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: UCLA's schedule.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: We're going to play one ranked team all season. So, yeah,
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: it makes a big difference.
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: I got a text.
• 32:28
  Speaker 9: Woo-hoo!
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: Hashtag OTV mailbag. Can we get hints on the foxhole costume?
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: We don't have one. Laundress probably originally was the best one.
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: Jake's was pretty good, too. But, like, y'all graduated so recently,
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: y'all would just be wearing what you're wearing today. That's
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: what I'm saying.
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: Like, I don't know what I would wear if I
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: dressed up as my, like, My high school flower crown.
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: I could test out the old letter jacket.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: You're a flower crown?
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah. I'd be rocking the Letterman jacket.
• 32:54
  Speaker 10: I never was a flower crown girly, but that was
• 32:57
  Speaker 10: like the thing back then.
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: Should we do letter jacket costume? Just make it simple.
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: Do you have yours?
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: No, it's in Texas.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: There's only one shipment away.
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: One shipment away. I guess I could. It's in the
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: garage somewhere.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: Anyone see this honorable mention patch?
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: I don't have a high school letterman. I have an LSU.
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: See, that's the weirdest thing to me. As douchey as
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: y'all are, man. You would think. Y'all would have letter jackets.
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: Just kidding, man. Not you.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: Buddy, we were thriving in high school. Don't take that offensive.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: Hashtag go to be mailbag. What is your favorite Halloween candy?
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: I mean, I guess I'll go candy corn because it's
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: not around year round. Like Reese's Snickers. I love, but like,
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: it's not really Halloween candy. Yeah. That year round.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: The pumpkin recess.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: The pumpkin shape one.
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I mean, I guess I'd like an old school,
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: old school trick or treat. When, when I was back
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: in the day, trick or treating, running the roads.
• 34:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: I'll get it. Um, Word would get around to which
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: houses had Reese's.
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: That word would travel fast.
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: Because it was the best one.
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: I think a lot of the things that I associate
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: with Halloween candy, I don't even know if they exist anymore.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: Like what?
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: Bottle caps. They're around. I think they're still around.
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: I think so.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go candy corn.
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: Just black and orange candy. Yeah, that'd be my answer.
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: I love candy corn. I know what I'm talking about.
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: Black and orange candy.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: It's where you get the strawberry candies.
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: I think a lot of that has been, there's been
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: so many things that over-commercialized, you know, the big box,
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: like the standard candy, and then like the minis that,
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: I don't think you see a lot of the traditional
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: old school. What was the old, like you'd get the,
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: like the, it was like Coke bottles, but they were gummies?
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: Coke bottle gummies, yeah.
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: You'd bite it, and you could. And then things that
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: was just like the plastic sheet that just had dots
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: on them, stuck to it. You'd peel it off the dot. Yeah,
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: I know too much. I love a candy necklace, too.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: I mean, probably not anymore. I hadn't had one since
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: I was a child. But back in the day, you'd
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: pop that candy necklace on.
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: I was about to say, as a grown man walking
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: around with a candy necklace, it gives off a different
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: vibe than when you were a kid.
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: I would not recommend it.
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: What kind of vibe? It's like, I'm trying to, like,
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: Attract the children, which you don't want to do.
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: It's like a very Epstein vibe.
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah. You don't want to do that. Zesty.
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: As a kid, it's like he's having fun. As an adult,
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: it's like, hey, let's steer clear of this old man.
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: The guy eating his necklace. Yeah. Let's stay away from
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: that guy.
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: Hashtag OTV Melbag.
• 35:47
  Speaker 10: Do you think the Saints will move on with Kellen
• 35:49
  Speaker 10: Moore during or after the season?
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: Let's ask Kellen.
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: Let's ask Kellen.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say we got to evaluate that.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: Wow. Okay.
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: That's crazy.
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: I didn't expect him to say that.
• 36:01
  Speaker 11: Really?
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: I guess fair say.
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: A little long answer by Kellen.
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: Let's see what he has to say. Let's see.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: We just got to really dig in and solve this thing.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: Oh, my God. Are you serious?
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: I mean, true.
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: Is that real? Hey, Kellen, what do you think, if
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: you had to say, what's the top candy for Halloween?
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say we got to evaluate that.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: Wow. Kellen, last one in the back here. Okay. Who
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: do you think should be the top team? In the
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: top 25 in college football.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say we've got to evaluate that.
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: He's got a lot to say. So many opinions.
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: We can end the show. See you. We're answering some
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: questions today. Yeah. It is fair to say he's right.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: He's not wrong.
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: Got to evaluate everything.
• 36:53
  Speaker 8: Do you want him to not evaluate, Matt?
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: As long as he's not emotional about it.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: You don't want that.
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: If he's emotionless, not emotionally evaluated. Like when I heard
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: that answer, I was like, Kellen, calm down a little bit, bud.
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: Way too high energy here on a Tuesday.
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: He's a little hyper.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: He does. Tuesday is the day though.
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: You think he's got ADHD? Yeah, I think so.
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: Probably just ADD. I don't have a lot of hyperactivity
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: from him.
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: What do you think is, should we ask Kellen if
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: he like, what, like, Do you have ADD or ADHD?
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: We just got to really dig in and solve this thing.
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: Fair.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: I'm really looking forward to having that forever.
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: There's only two I have right now. I'm sure there's
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: plenty more.
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: You don't even need to clip them. Just push play.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: Just play it.
• 37:56
  Speaker 11: No, really.
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: Just load it up.

  Speaker 4: I'm just in shape.
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: Not in that much shape.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you work out every day, though.
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: Back day yesterday.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Hell yeah.
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: Little back and biceps.
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: Hell yeah, brother. Oh, so as of, I think, 10 a.m.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: I think I'll officially.
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: Be a High Rocks athlete.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: High Rocks 2.8. I think the sign up starts at 10.
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: Usually those things are sold out.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: People are dying to work out.
• 38:42
  Speaker 7: It's shocking. It's just very trendy. The workouts are not fun.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: No.
• 38:47
  Speaker 7: And training for it, it's even less fun. It's basically
• 38:51
  Speaker 7: you have to push yourself to the point of puking
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: every time.
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: And people love it.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: They do love it.
• 38:59
  Speaker 7: I don't love it. I love the feeling afterwards. I
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: really do.
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: I know, afterwards is the best.
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: It's a great feeling. But I've never enjoyed working out, ever,
• 39:05
  Speaker 7: in my life.
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: It depends on the workout for me.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: I fell into a runner's high like two years ago.
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: Well, three.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: Right before Harlow was born and loved it. Yeah. Loved it.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: Ran three miles a day, listened to my music, and
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: loved it.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: But I literally, like, if I wanted to do that.
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: Now, with the schedule with the five kids it'd have
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: to be before the show.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:33
  Speaker 10: When I was training for it, I've not, like, I
• 39:37
  Speaker 10: very little where I was like, I'm enjoying this.
• 39:40
  Speaker 7: How should I go to be mailbag? What's the scariest
• 39:42
  Speaker 7: haunted house you've ever been to?
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: We used to do one.
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: The one here is not.
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: Speaking of the Sunset Acres Indians, we used to have a,
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: like at the school, that's what we played for, but
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: we had like an athletic clubhouse and the football team
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: would put one on to raise money for the football team.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: And it was pretty scary. Like that. It was scary.
• 40:02
  Speaker 8: Mortuary in New Orleans is really good.
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: What's it called? The Mortuary. Okay. In New Orleans on
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: Canal Street. I don't go to haunted houses. Have y'all
• 40:12
  Speaker 7: been to the one? Y'all been to the 13th Gate?
• 40:13
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that one's not like, I mean, it's fun. The
• 40:17
  Speaker 10: scariest one I've been to is in Austin. It's called
• 40:19
  Speaker 10: House of Torment. I was terrified the first time I went,
• 40:22
  Speaker 10: but I also was like a lot younger.
• 40:24
  Speaker 7: Tormented.
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: I was tormented.
• 40:25
  Speaker 7: I went to one in Tyler growing up. I was
• 40:28
  Speaker 7: in seventh or eighth grade. It was at a movie
• 40:32
  Speaker 7: theater that had just gone out of business. It was scary.
• 40:35
  Speaker 7: I went with my crush at the time. She got
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: scared and she held my hand. It's not a big deal.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: That was the truth. Susie Q?
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: Susie Q. It's not like I'm still thinking about it. No,
• 40:43
  Speaker 7: not even thinking about it at all.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: Guys, guys, we got to take a break. Clock.

  Speaker 7: All right, welcome back here. Closing out our number two
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: off the bench. Still getting over my sickness, so I'm
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: faking a little energy. One company that doesn't have to
• 42:47
  Speaker 7: fake energy is Caterus. When you think about energy, when
• 42:50
  Speaker 7: you think about Louisiana, you think about energy, you think
• 42:52
  Speaker 7: about Caterus. Caterus is developed in the Commonwealth LNG Export
• 42:55
  Speaker 7: Facility over there in Cameron Parish, connecting American natural gas
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: with customers around the world. Now under construction after reaching
• 43:01
  Speaker 7: its final investment decision. In 2026, the project represents a
• 43:05
  Speaker 7: major investment in Louisiana's future. But it's about more than
• 43:09
  Speaker 7: just exporting energy. It's about creating jobs here in Louisiana.
• 43:12
  Speaker 7: It's about supporting local businesses, strengthening communities, and reinforcing Louisiana's
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: position as one of the world's leading energy hubs. Through
• 43:20
